Arthroscopic and Stem Cell Treatment for Bursitis of the Shoulder, Hip, Knee and Elbow

Introduction

Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the bursa located over the prominent portions of several joints in the body.  They may be the result of chronic pressure on the joint or the result of acute trauma or infection.  

The primary symptoms are pain and swelling. Bursitis is commonly found in the knee (called pre-patellar bursitis) and the hip (called trochanteric bursitis)

Most non-infectious cases of bursitis will resolve with activity modification and anti-inflammatory medication. For those who are nonresponsive to these methods, an injection of a corticosteroid directly into the joint may be required.

Most patients who do not respond to one of the above conventional treatments require surgical excision to resolve the bursitis.

Celling Treatment Center Procedure

Celling Treatment Centers' bursitis treatment differs from conventional medical treatment because it is a drug-free alternative treatment focused on treating the physical effects of the disease in order to improve patient quality of life.

The treatment focuses on reducing the symptoms and chronic effects of recalcitrant bursitis by either a direct injection of concentrated stem cells into the inflamed bursa or arthroscopic excision of the bursa in conjunction with stem cell therapy. The mechanism of action for stem cell therapy in is not fully understood but is believed to be due to stem cells' ability to down-regulate inflammation and promote tissue healing through regeneration.

This outpatient procedure requires patients to stay in Austin, Texas for 2 or 3 nights.

Treatment process: bone marrow harvesting, stem cell processing and stem cell implantation.

Bone Marrow Harvesting

For patient comfort, bone marrow harvesting is performed under light sedation and local anesthesia. There is a mild amount of local discomfort after the procedure that will resolve naturally.

Harvesting of the bone marrow takes approximately 20 minutes.

Stem Cell Processing

After the bone marrow is collected, the stem cell processing begins in the operating room using advanced bone marrow processing technology.

Upon completion of the stem cell processing, they are readied for immediate implantation. These living stem cells are capable of down-regulating inflammation and repairing damaged tissue caused by aging, injury or disease.

Stem Cell Implantation

Once the stem cells are prepared for implantation they are implanted into the patient using a direct bursa injection technique.

Using this technique, a small needle is inserted into the bursa and the concentrated stem cells are directly implanted.

The patient is then transported to the recovery room and later discharged. The direct bursa injection procedure is not typically painful.

For those patients with trochanteric (hip) bursitis, we offer advanced arthroscopic bursa excision that is followed by injection of stem cells under the direct vision of the arthroscope.

Following Treatment

Patients treated for bursitis are required to stay in town for a few days after the procedure. Patients are then encouraged to return home to continue conventional treatment under the care of their physician or physical therapist.

Results

Most patients treated with stem cell therapy for bursitis require only a single application to obtain relief.

No long term studies are available for this innovative procedure.
