Who we help
If one of these is you, keep reading.
"It's just arthritis"
Knee osteoarthritis that keeps getting worse
Morning stiffness, swelling, stairs you avoid. You want more than learning to live with it.
"Cortisone stopped working"
Injections that wear off faster every time
Cortisone, hyaluronic acid or PRP helped for a while — and then the pain came back.
"Surgery for a meniscus?"
A meniscus tear you'd rather not operate
Pain on the joint line, catching or swelling after twisting — and a surgeon already talking about arthroscopy.
"I used to run"
Former athletes with an old injury
Soccer, skiing, basketball, running. The injury was years ago. The knee never forgot.
"Bone on bone"
Advanced wear and few options left
Results are less predictable in advanced cases — so a specialist reviews your imaging and tells you honestly.
Stem cells vs. cortisone, PRP & knee replacement
Other options mask the pain. Stem cells go after the cause.
Cortisone numbs it. PRP gives it a short boost. Surgery cuts it out. Stem cells help your knee repair itself.

| What it really does | Numbs the pain for a while | A short-term boost | Cuts out your joint and replaces it with metal and plastic | Goes to the root cause and helps your knee repair itself |
| What happens to your cartilage | Repeated shots can speed up cartilage loss | No living cells to rebuild it | Removed for good | Supports cartilage and tissue repair |
| You keep your own knee | ||||
| Surgery or hospital stay | No | No | Major surgery and a hospital stay | None. One treatment day |
| What happens next | The pain comes back, and the shots add up | Relief that often fades | Months of rehab. No going back | One treatment could be enough |

Knee FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Can stem cell therapy help me avoid a knee replacement?
For many patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, cartilage wear or meniscus damage, stem cell therapy is a way to treat the knee before an irreversible surgery. It isn't right for every knee — severe, collapsed joints may still need a replacement — so a specialist reviews your imaging first and tells you honestly.
Am I a candidate if I've been told I'm "bone on bone"?
Possibly. Mild to moderate wear responds best and advanced cases are less predictable. Send us your X-ray or MRI and we'll tell you what's realistic for your knee — before you spend anything.
How much does stem cell therapy for knees cost?
All-inclusive knee treatment in Medellín starts from $3,990 USD, including the cells, the guided application in the operating room, hotel, transfers and follow-up. Comparable treatments in the US typically run $20,000+. Your exact price is confirmed after your consultation.
Does it hurt?
The application is done under mild sedation or local anesthesia. Most patients describe mild soreness afterward, not pain.
When will I see results?
Most patients notice changes within 3–6 months as the tissue regenerates.
How long do I need to stay in Medellín?
Most knee treatments are done in a single day; some plans add a second day, and your quote tells you exactly which one is yours. You can add extra nights if you want to rest or enjoy the city.
Can you treat both knees on the same trip?
Yes. Both knees — or a knee plus another joint — can be treated on the same procedure day. Your quote reflects exactly what's included.
Is stem cell therapy better than PRP or hyaluronic acid for knees?
They work differently. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood and hyaluronic acid adds lubrication; neither contains living cells. Stem cell therapy delivers 50 million young cells that actively work on inflammation and tissue repair inside the joint.
Can stem cells treat a torn meniscus without surgery?
Many degenerative and partial meniscus tears can be treated without arthroscopy. The cells help calm inflammation and support tissue repair. A specialist reviews your MRI to confirm whether your tear is a good fit.
Is there an age limit?
There's no fixed age limit. What matters is your overall health and the condition of the joint, reviewed in your online consultation.
Is it legal and safe?
Stem cell expansion is permitted in Colombia. Your application is performed by specialist physicians in a fully-equipped operating room, under ultrasound guidance.
Is it guaranteed?
No honest clinic guarantees results. What we guarantee is the quality of the cells, the precision of the application, and that we'll be with you the whole way.
