Stem Cell Treatment
Most people accept it as a fact that joint pain and degeneration are part of aging and will inevitably worsen. This is not true with today’s regenerative medicine treatment options. The human body has an innate ability to heal. Regenerative medicine taps into this innate power by giving your body an extra boost. A good example is stem cell therapy.
From birth, our stem cells continuously repair and regenerate our bodies. Regenerative medicine uses your own stem cells and growth factors to treat a variety of painful joint conditions without using medication.
Your natural supply of stem cells dwindles over time. That’s why you don’t bounce back from injuries as well when you get older. Stem cell treatments can help you harness the power of your own stem cells to promote healing and reduce your pain at any age.

Stem Cell Treatments Q & A
Stem cells are unique cells present in the body that have an innate ability to help the body repair itself naturally. These cells can change into other types of cells when necessary such as after an accident or a sports injury. When you are injured, stem cells act as your body’s first responders. These regenerative cells will migrate to areas of your body affected by an injury or disease to help repair the damage. For example, stem cells can change into cartilage cells to help repair and heal joint arthritis.
With age, your supply of stem cells tapers off. Some stem cells become dormant or less responsive. These changes happen when you are relatively young. By age 30, your stem cell activity drops by more than half. Dr. Bleiweiss offers treatments to activate your stem cells and direct them to areas such as damaged joints where they can help you repair and heal.
- Joint injuries
- Cartilage damage
- Degenerative spinal disc disease
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Cognitive decline
- Disc degeneration
- Joint arthritis
- Sports injuries
- Aging
- Osteoarthritis of the hips and knees
Stem cells are essential for cartilage repairs. By injecting your own stem cells into the affected joint, the treatment activates your body’s innate ability to heal and repair.
Dr. Bleiweiss uses autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells to treat your condition. It is an office procedure under local anesthesia that Dr. Bleiweiss performs at Alternative Disc Therapy in Caldwell, NJ. This treatment is an alternative to surgery or potentially harmful medication. It is safe and effective, requiring little to no downtime. Most patients return to their everyday activities the day after the treatment.
Osteoarthritis commonly affects your knee and hip joints. Long-term use damages the joints and cartilage in the knees and hips. Once the cartilage is damaged, your body has limited ability to repair it.
Conventional osteoarthritis treatments are limited to medications with potential side effects, temporary lubricating agents, or surgery. Stem cell treatments enable healing in the damaged joint by utilizing your body’s innate repairing abilities so your body heals and regenerates naturally without causing physical trauma or side effects.
