Stem Cell Therapy for
Hip Injuries

Stop the pain, frustration and dysfunction without surgery and start living better today.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

We understand that a hip injury and the resulting pain can make your day-to-day life miserable and extremely difficult. Limited mobility, excruciatingly acute pain and long-term pain can dramatically reduce your quality of life and keep you from the things you love most.

For many hip injuries, targeted stem cell and PRP injections can provide a non-invasive solution to help improve your overall health and wellness and get you back to the lifestyle you love.

Commonly Treated Hip Injuries

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Labral Tear
  • Bursitis
  • Tendinopathy (gluteal, adductor, hamstring and others)
  • Avascular Necrosis

Alternatives To Hip Surgery

Too often hip surgeries and hip replacement are presented as the only treatment options for hip injuries. While hip replacement surgery may be necessary in some cases, it is a significant medical procedure with the risk of complications, including persistent pain and infection, and may require a longer recovery. And while hip arthroscopy has become a popular treatment option, results can vary widely.

At the Albano Clinic, we look for non-invasive comprehensive solutions that can bring you back to health. As part of our whole-body approach, we are able to precisely place stem cell and PRP treatments to treat hip injuries – without the risk of surgery.

PRP Therapy For Hip Labral Tears

Hip labral tears can cause pain in your hip, buttocks or groin and make your favorite activities impossible to enjoy. In addition to the intense pain labral tears bring, you also may experience stiffness and a limited range of motion, which can affect your ability to stand, walk, climb or squat.

More often than not, surgery is recommended to repair hip labral tears. At the Albano Clinic, we believe targeted orthobiologics can provide a significantly better solution in many cases.

As part of our whole-body approach to health and wellness, we can help you feel better and move better by encouraging your own body’s healing process through stem cell and PRP injections.

Research shows that stem cell therapy for hips is less invasive than conventional options and can help you get back to the active lifestyle you enjoy faster than surgical procedures.

It was Dr. Albano that discovered my hip issues after he did stem cell therapy to fix my rotator cuff surgery.~ Armando Slack

Manny Is Relearning How To Live Without Constant Hip Pain

Manny came to Dr. Albano in 2017 with a rotator cuff injury. After reviewing his medical history and his extensive use of pregnenolone since his early 20s, Dr. Albano requested an extensive MRI of Manny's hips. The results showed that both hips had damage – damage that, unbeknown to Manny, was affecting how he lived his life. "I’m now learning how to adjust to two working hips and am so grateful to Dr. Albano and his whole body approach.”

FAQs

What is the difference between stem cell therapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments? Expand

Stem cells are usually harvested from a patient’s healthy fat tissue or bone marrow. To harvest PRP, we draw your blood and then concentrate the platelets. We then precisely inject the stem cells and concentrated platelets into the damaged area, and both orthobiologics go to work to help repair the damaged tissues.

We typically use both stem cells and PRP when treating patients. However, there are times when we use just PRP. Every treatment plan varies according to the individual needs of our patients.

Where exactly are these stem cells obtained? Expand

We work with two different types of cells. The first type of cell comes from your own healthy fat tissue and bone marrow. These are defined as autologous, as they come from your own body.

There are many living stem cells in these tissues (much more in fat than in bone marrow). The fat is typically obtained from women in the lateral thighs and buttocks. In men, it is typically obtained from the flank or abdomen.

The second type of cell does not come from your body. These cells are allogeneic cells and include placental, amniotic or umbilical cord tissue. These tissues contain healthy growth factors that boost your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Typically discarded, these tissues are gathered safely and ethically and no babies are harmed in the process.

Do you use amniotic, placental, umbilical tissues or exosomes (signal proteins)? Expand

Yes. All of these tools are available to you. There are pros and cons with every tissue that we use, but the advantage of using these products is that they are available in a bottle and we don’t have to harvest tissue from you.

The primary negative aspect of these tissues is cost. If we need a high volume of cells for a particular procedure, it’s usually financially impractical to use only these tissues.

The second negative with these tissues is the lack of living stem cells. We have independently tested many of these products and have never been able to grow any of them in the lab. While these allogenic materials have other living cells and growth factors that are highly beneficial, our tests indicate that the stem cells are not able to reproduce and are likely not alive. That is why we typically use these cells in conjunction with autologous cells (PRP, fat, and bone marrow stem cells).

It’s important to note that the amniotic, placental, umbilical tissue and exosomes are not embryonic cells. Embryonic cells are from embryos (or babies) and the amniotic, placental and umbilical tissue is typically discarded after delivery.

Instead of discarding this allogenic material, the amniotic, placental and umbilical tissues we use are gathered safely and ethically. We only use products from companies that have the highest standards and these tissues are repeatedly tested to ensure that there are no known pathogens in the samples, including various infectious agents.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with these tissues prior to your visit so that we can help you make an informed decision regarding your treatment options. To do this, please look through the rest of our website and research other sites, as well.

What can affect the results of stem cell therapy? Expand

For years, the medical establishment has put an emphasis on reducing inflammation and has employed liberal use of anti-inflammatory drugs, usually in the form of NSAIDs, like ibuprofen and naproxen, or steroids. We now know that inhibiting your body’s natural inflammatory response prevents repair cells from reaching your injury.

Reliance on NSAIDs can actually cause further injury by masking pain and allowing further damage to injured tissues. Our targeted orthobiologics treatments are designed to do the opposite of overused NSAIDs. These treatments don't block inflammation - instead, they provoke a healing inflammatory response to increase the number of repair cells in the injured area.

We highly stress that you do not use NSAID’s during your recovery process.
In addition, smoking significantly hinders your body’s healing response. To achieve the best possible outcome from your procedure, it is best to discontinue smoking six months prior to your procedure.
