Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is often referred to as regenerative medicine in specialty veterinary care. It’s a relatively new technique that takes advantage of the regenerative capabilities of stem cells in repairing damaged tissues that may otherwise struggle to regenerate on their own. The stem cells used in the procedure are produced by your pet themselves. We offer stem cell-based treatments in our clinic for a variety of soft tissue injuries — such as muscle or tendon repair as well as wound and graft healing — osteoarthritis, and any condition with an inflammatory component. That includes immune-mediated polyarthritis, inflammatory bowel, and chronic kidney disease. While we cannot predict the exact outcomes of this form of therapy, there is a body of research that tells us which conditions are most likely to respond positively.
