I took my Mother in for stem cell and PRP treatment. Staff was excellent and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this type of treatment.
What Is Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cell Therapy?
Wharton’s Jelly, derived from donated umbilical cords following healthy, full-term births, is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), growth factors, hyaluronic acid, extracellular vesicles, and anti-inflammatory proteins. These components provide powerful regenerative properties without the need for donor site harvesting or surgery.
Used in orthopedic and soft tissue applications, Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cell Therapy is:
- Ethically sourced and lab-verified
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Highly effective for degenerative joint issues and chronic tendon damage
- Ideal for patients who are not candidates for autologous stem cell harvest (e.g., due to age or comorbidities)
Conditions Treated with Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cells
Wharton’s Jelly is particularly effective in repairing and restoring:
- Arthritic joints – especially knees, hips, and shoulders
- Tendon injuries – including rotator cuff, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis
- Meniscal tears, labral damage, and joint instability
- Cartilage degeneration in active adults and aging patients
- Post-surgical tissue regeneration or pain persistence
Dr. Nourparvar uses ultrasound-guided injections for all procedures, ensuring safe, accurate cell placement for maximum efficacy and minimal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cell Therapy)
-
While the FDA does not approve stem cell therapies in the traditional pharmaceutical sense, we use only FDA-registered tissue bank products, processed under cGMP standards, and follow all regulatory guidelines for safety and consent.
-
Wharton’s Jelly offers a higher concentration of mesenchymal stem cells and regenerative peptides without requiring a surgical harvest. PRP uses your own platelets, while bone marrow aspirate may contain fewer active cells–especially in older adults.
-
You may be an ideal candidate if you suffer from chronic joint pain, arthritis, or tendon injury and want to avoid surgery. Patients who are not suitable for autologous (self-derived) stem cells often benefit from Wharton’s Jelly.
-
Side effects are rare. Some patients experience mild swelling or soreness at the injection site. We use only immune-privileged, ethically sourced biologics to minimize any risk of rejection or adverse reaction.
-
Most patients begin noticing improvement in 4-8 weeks, with continued gains in pain relief, strength, and mobility over 3-6 months.
-
Discomfort is minimal. We use local anesthetic and ultrasound-guided injections, and most patients describe the procedure as less painful than a dental visit.
-
Currently, stem cell therapies are not covered by most insurance plans. However, FSA/HSA accounts may be used, and we provide detailed documentation for your records.
