What “Stem Cell Longevity” Means Here

At JS Hospital, “longevity” focuses on joint longevity—maintaining movement, reducing pain, and supporting long-term function by regenerating or protecting cartilage and soft tissues. Orthopedic stem cell approaches are used alongside precise imaging, rehabilitation, and lifestyle guidance. Benefits may continue to build over time when combined with proper aftercare.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Knee, hip, shoulder, or ankle pain from early-to-moderate osteoarthritis or cartilage injury
• Persistent tendinopathy or sports-related soft-tissue damage
• Patients hoping to delay or avoid joint replacement when appropriate
• Non-smokers or those willing to stop; optimized metabolic health may improve outcomes
  (Final eligibility is determined by the orthopedic team after imaging and examination.)

Step-by-Step: Your Treatment Journey

Imaging & Assessment – Orthopedic consultation, X-ray and/or MRI to assess damage and determine whether regenerative treatment is suitable.
Personalized Regenerative Plan – Options may include stem-cell–based injections or cartilage repair strategies depending on your condition.
Injection or Surgical Delivery – Precise treatment under imaging or arthroscopic guidance when needed.
Rehab & Recovery Planning – Targeted rehabilitation and activity guidance to support healing and long-term outcomes.

Expected Results & Timeline

Onset: Many patients experience gradual improvement over several months as tissue healing and remodeling progress.
Durability: Results can be long-lasting when combined with strengthening, weight management, and joint-friendly habits.

Risks & Limitations

• Temporary soreness or swelling at the treatment site
• More limited response in advanced arthritis cases
• Not a cure-all; outcomes vary depending on cartilage damage, alignment, weight, and adherence to rehabilitation

Costs & Insurance

Pricing depends on the joint treated, treatment method, imaging needs, and whether arthroscopic delivery is required. The most accurate estimate should be provided directly by JS Hospital after consultation.

Do you treat only athletes?
No. JS Hospital treats a wide range of patients, including active adults, office workers, and seniors seeking to maintain mobility and delay more invasive procedures.

How long until I can fly home?
Many non-surgical treatments are outpatient procedures with relatively short recovery times, though travel timing depends on your treatment plan.

Will I still need surgery later?
Regenerative treatment may help delay or reduce the need for joint replacement in appropriate cases, but outcomes vary depending on the severity of joint damage and long-term care.
