Top Conditions Treated with Adipose Cell Therapy

For many patients, chronic joint pain, tendon injuries, or nerve conditions continue to linger despite medications, physical therapy, and other treatments. In these cases, regenerative therapies may offer an exciting alternative and more effective solution. At TOP ReNu Medicine in North Aurora, IL, board-certified physician and pain management specialist Dr. Yuan Chen and our dedicated team offer adipose cell therapy to help men and women find long-term pain relief and support healing at the source — all without the need for synthetic medications, lengthy recovery time, and other downsides. Here, you'll find additional information on the many symptoms and conditions that may respond to adipose cell therapy, as well as how it works to help restore mobility and comfort.

What is adipose cell therapy?

Adipose cell therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses cells from your body to support tissue repair and relieve chronic pain. Unlike other forms of cell therapy that rely on cells from bone marrow, adipose cell therapy uses cells derived from fatty tissue — typically taken from the abdomen through a minimally invasive technique. Once collected, these cells are isolated and injected directly into the area of concern, such as a joint, tendon, or nerve. Over time, the injected cells work to help repair tissue damage and calm inflammation, with many patients experiencing long-lasting improvements in function and pain levels.

What does adipose cell therapy help?

While results can vary depending on the severity of the condition and overall health, adipose cell therapy has been shown to provide significant symptom relief and tissue support for a number of chronic and degenerative issues. Adipose therapy treatment is often recommended for patients who have not responded well to more traditional therapies. Some of the top conditions treated with adipose cell therapy include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Tendonitis
• Ligament damage
• Chronic joint pain
• Cartilage loss
• Nerve pain
• Bone death (avascular necrosis)

How does the adipose cell therapy process work?

Adipose cell therapy is performed in our private treatment rooms at TOP ReNu Medicine. The process begins with a gentle laser-assisted fat-harvesting procedure, most often from the abdomen. Once the adipose tissue is collected, it is processed using a centrifuge to isolate the beneficial cells. After preparation, the concentrated regenerative cells are injected into the affected area. Most patients tolerate the procedure well with minimal downtime, and the healing process begins as the injected cells respond to inflammation and damaged tissues in the body. Patients may begin to notice improvements in mobility, pain, and function within a few weeks, with continued progress over several months as the tissue regenerates.

Who is a candidate for adipose cell therapy?

Adipose cell therapy can be a compelling option for men and women dealing with pain and stiffness that has not responded well to other treatments. It may be appropriate for patients who are not ready for surgery or those who want to explore a more natural, regenerative approach to healing. During your consultation at TOP ReNu Medicine, Dr. Chen will evaluate your symptoms and determine whether adipose cell therapy may be right for you. If needed, this treatment can be combined with other pain management strategies to help boost your results and give you back the comfort and mobility you deserve.
