Stem Cell Treatment for Osteoarthritis – William’s Story

Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that causes chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, severely impacting quality of life. Stem cell treatment may help alleviate its symptoms, including chronic pain, stiffness, and diminished mobility associated with this degenerative joint disease. 

 

William had been undergoing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for osteoarthritis for 15 years, but its effectiveness had waned. His doctor recommended Stem Cell Institute in Panama for more effective treatment. Initially skeptical, he was eventually convinced and his first visit resulted in significant pain relief. William continues to benefit from our revolutionary Golden Cells™, experiencing positive outcomes and expressing high satisfaction.

 

 

William’s Orthopedic Surgeon Recommends Stem Cell Treatment for Osteoarthritis

William was sent to us by his orthopedic surgeon who also happens to be the doctor for the world-famous LA Clippers NBA team and the Los Angeles Angels MLB team. Before stem cell therapy, William had been undergoing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for osteoarthritis. PRP involves injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets into the affected joint.

PRP is believed to: 

  • Reduce pain
  • Reduce stiffness
  • Improving function

 

William had been undergoing PRP therapy for 15 years. Unfortunately, his doctor felt the treatments were no longer working as well as they used to. It was at that point that his doctor recommended stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis at Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama.

 

From Skeptic to Believer

William wasn’t initially sold on the idea of coming to Panama to receive stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis. It wasn’t until he spoke to his niece that he started to become more open. She had come to our treatment center four years before William’s first visit. Like him, she turned to stem cell therapy after her previous treatment for an autoimmune disease had stopped affecting her condition.

 

William’s niece was also recommended Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama, by her immunologist. “She got the injections and hasn’t been sick a day since,” says William. “She hasn’t had another injection at the Mayo Clinic. She had a baby which she was told she’d never have, and got remarried. So it changed her whole life.”

 

He goes on to say: 

 

“So I asked her if it was a real, legitimate place and she said it was the best medical facility she’d been to. And she’s a PhD psychologist. So my experience, her experience, and the multiple people I’ve talked to in the lobby…all have had great success with stem cells.”

After Stem Cell Treatment

Describing his first stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis at Stem Cell Institute, William says:



“My first visit was a roaring success”

Both his knees and shoulders stopped hurting after his first treatment. However, his doctor recommended that he return for a second round of treatment. This was due to the lack of cartilage in his knees and shoulders. William’s doctor believes that another round of stem cells will help him avoid knee and shoulder replacement surgery in the future. 

 

Coming to Stem Cell Institute in Panama

William always enjoys his time getting stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis at Stem Cell Institute in Panama. “The staff is excellent and the doctors are great,” he says. He’s also impressed by how easy it is to travel. 

 

Describing coming to Panama, he says:

 

The logistics are really good. They meet you at the airport to take you to the hotel. The hotel is connected to the stem cell clinic by a lobby so you don’t have to ever leave the place… I’ve been doing my treatments and really have nothing but good things to say.”

Our Golden Cells

Stem Cell Therapy: A Rising Tide BooksLike all of our patients, William has benefitted from our revolutionary Golden Cells™. In his monumental book, Stem Cell Therapy: A Rising Tide: How Stem Cells Are Disrupting Medicine and Transforming Lives, Neil Riordan, PA and PhD, delves into the revolutionary impact of stem cells on modern medicine and their transformative effects on patients’ lives. 

 

There, he reveals the story behind the discovery of Golden Cells™ and their significance in stem cell therapy. After treating thousands of patients and observing unique recoveries, our team embarked on a thorough investigation. We reviewed our results for two and a half years, ultimately identifying six distinctive cell lines with unique molecular characteristics. 

 

These were named Riordan Golden Cells™ and they are now the cornerstone of our patient treatment approach.  

 

As Dr. Riordan explains:

 

This is the first time in history that anyone has been able to retrospectively analyze which MSCs have more benefit. I like to say that an MSC is not an MSC. They are not all created equal. If you are picking a basketball team, would you want me on your team or LeBron James, possibly the best basketball player of all time? We are both humans, but our abilities on the court are not equal. It’s the same with MSCs. Some perform better than others. That’s why we’ve been working to select the best cells for use in patients with chronic disease. Now we can retrospectively analyze existing data on outcomes. We are the only stem cell company with the data to do that.”
