How Long Do Stem Cell Injections Last?

Stem cell injections are gaining momentum as regenerative treatment for common orthopedic, autoimmune, and inflammatory conditions. Unlike surgery, stem cell injections promote the body’s own healing process, omitting the need for incisions and lengthy recovery times. 

But, how long do stem cell injections last? Will you have to return for additional treatments? This article will answer these prevalent questions to help you determine if stem cell injections are right for you. 

The Lifespan of Stem Cell Injections

The amount of time stem cell injections continue to provide relief can vary from patient to patient. However, in most cases, the stem cells will continue to promote repair in the treatment area for up to a year. At this point, the patient may continue to experience relief for several years. Stem cell therapy can even stimulate permanent repair for certain soft tissue injuries. In others, the relief only lasts for six months to a year. 

Your regenerative medicine specialist can help you better understand the factors impacting your experience with stem cell injections. Generally, the following factors have the most considerable influence on how long your results will last:

  • The patient’s overall health
  • The severity of the condition or injury
  • The treatment site

Will I Need Additional Stem Cell Injections?

Many patients opt to return for additional stem cell injections to prolong their pain relief. Additionally, many physicians recommend a series of two to five stem cell therapy sessions for optimal results. You can talk to your doctor about what to expect and whether to plan for future stem cell injections. 

For many patients, stem cell injections provide long-lasting pain relief without the complications associated with surgery. At Regenerative Medicine Now, we have a network of regenerative medicine experts who can guide your stem cell treatment plan. Search for a doctor near you today!
