Stem Cell Therapy

Mesenchymal cells are the body’s repair signallers. Rather than replacing damaged tissue directly, they release growth factors and signaling molecules that help regulate inflammation and support the body’s own regenerative processes.

The cells we use are derived from donated umbilical cord tissue, not embryonic tissue, collected after healthy, full-term births with donor consent. Cord-derived cells are used because they are young, unexposed to decades of environmental stress, and available without harvesting tissue from the patient.

Every lot we use comes with sourcing and screening documentation, available for you to review during your consultation.

Delivery depends on what is being addressed: intravenous infusion for systemic and immune-related concerns, or targeted injection when a specific joint or area of tissue is the focus.

Dr. Southern determines the route during your consultation after reviewing your history, imaging, and lab work. Many patients receive a protocol that combines routes, and stem cell therapy is frequently paired with exosome therapy or IV ozone therapy because the therapies work synergistically.

Cortisone suppresses inflammation without addressing the underlying tissue. Regenerative approaches aim at the tissue itself, which is why patients often arrive here after injections stopped helping and before considering a surgical option.

We are direct about candidacy: regenerative medicine is not a substitute for surgery. If your situation calls for a surgical consult, Dr. Southern will say so during your evaluation rather than sell you a protocol.
