Stem cells explained
Stem cells generate from other cells in the body that have specialized functions. We take those cells and split them up to create daughter cells, which become new stem cells or specialized cells to support specific cell functions in specific places in your body, such as your brain, heart, blood, or bones.
We use regenerative medicine to regenerate your damaged tissues and repair them.

Over the last three decades, stem cells have proven to be the most promising to treat eye diseases, such as macular degeneration. It can treat injuries to your eyes, as well.
If you have a condition that needs medical attention, we can give you an accurate diagnosis and determine if stem cell therapy can help provide the healing you need.
Don’t ignore your health issues. Your chances of having a successful outcome with stem cell therapy increase considerably when you seek treatment early.
How stem cell therapy works
Stem cells are grown in a lab and guided to grow into certain types of cells to benefit the area that needs treatment. Our team then implants the cells directly into the location of your body that needs repairing. For example, if you have osteoarthritis, we inject the stem cells into your knee to help regenerate new cell growth and heal the impaired ones to improve movement and repair your knee.
