The effect of the injection did not last
I can't get it
Considering knee cartilage regeneration with stem cells instead of continuing hyaluronic acid injections

Inoperable due to age
no cure
No complicated surgery required
The number of visits to the hospital is also less.

What are the effects of stem cells? Stem cells suppress inflammation in joints and promote repair and regeneration of cartilage, which can be expected to regenerate joint structures and reduce pain. Stem cells are also effective in repairing damaged ligaments and muscles, so top athletes overseas are receiving treatment.
The "components" secreted from stem cells have the same regenerative and repairing effects as stem cells. Its components are much smaller in size than stem cells, so it is possible to reach the details of the body and promote tissue regeneration.
Cell culture In our laboratory, we have introduced the latest equipment, and we have established a system for operating and managing cell culture, implementing strict quality control, such as managing all processes. The patient's autologous stem cells can be cultured in the hospital's laboratory.
A license is required to provide regenerative medicine In order to provide regenerative medicine, based on the Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, a specific authorized regenerative medicine committee has It must be reviewed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Our hospital is a medical institution that has been accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for a provision plan for knee joint stem cell administration.
PROLIFERATION
Stem cell culture at our hospital
Cultured stem cell therapy added to the options. Please consider this for your knee pain.
Regenerative medicine is a treatment method that promotes the recovery of body functions based on the body's own cells against diseases caused by some kind of damage to tissues and organs.
“Stem cells”, which are responsible for the development and regeneration of tissues, have the ability to regenerate and replenish somatic cells that decrease with age, and are applied in the field of regenerative medicine.
At our hospital, the patient's own stem cells are cultured in a state-of-the-art laboratory operated under strict hygiene control and administered directly to the knee joint for treatment.
A new therapy that relieves knee cartilage damage without the need for difficult surgery or frequent injections.
If you are worried about osteoarthritis of the knee, please contact our clinic once.

Q&A
FAQ
Q: Do I need to be hospitalized?
A: No. You do not need.
Stem cells are collected at the first visit. Stem cells will be administered at the second visit. However, a cell culture period of 4 weeks is required between the collection of stem cells and administration.
Q: How painful is the treatment?
A: Skin sampling can be done under local anesthesia, so please consider it as a dentist's treatment. The skin to be collected is about 5 mm, and after a month it has become so familiar that you can't even tell where it was taken.
Q: How long does it take to take effect?
A: There are large individual differences in the effectiveness of stem cell therapy, but please consider 3 to 6 months as a guideline.
QIs stem cell therapy covered by insurance?
A: Since it is a free medical treatment, the full amount will be borne by the patient.
Q: Where are stem cells located?
A: Stem cells are present throughout the body. We think that patients have a strong resistance to collecting fat by fat absorption, so at our clinic, we use a skin punch to collect fat.
Q: Is the treatment nationally licensed?
A: Based on the Regenerative Medicine Safety Assurance Act, treatments that have been reviewed and approved by a third-party committee are accepted as treatment plans by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Our group is a medical institution that has been accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for a provision plan for knee joint stem cell administration.
Q: Are medical expenses deductible?
A: If it is for medical treatment, it may be eligible for medical expense deduction. Please contact your nearest tax office for details on how to proceed. Please keep the receipt issued by our hospital in a safe place.

What is the appropriate number of cells for me?
The appropriate number of cells in the world is considered to be about 100 million per knee.
In the case of regenerative medicine clinics in Japan, I think 20 to 100 million per knee is common.
Our hospital uses 100 million per knee.
