Stem cell therapy introduces mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into damaged or inflamed tissue to support cellular repair and reduce inflammation. R3 Stem Cell uses umbilical cord tissue (Wharton’s jelly) and bone marrow-derived MSCs sourced from FDA-registered, AABB-accredited, cGMP-compliant facilities, with confirmed cell viability of 98-99%.

Stem cell therapy is investigational for most orthopedic conditions and is not FDA-approved for general musculoskeletal use. Before any procedure, our specialists review the evidence, risks, and realistic outcomes with you directly. You will also receive written informed consent as required under Florida law. For a detailed overview of how federal regulations apply to these treatments, see our guide on FDA classification of stem cell and tissue-based products.

Conditions We Address in Hollywood, FL

Elbow, wrist, and hand pain affecting daily function

Foot and ankle pain that limits standing, walking, or exercise

We also see patients exploring regenerative medicine for autoimmune conditions, peripheral neuropathy, and other chronic inflammatory disorders. Clinical evidence varies by condition, and we will always be upfront about what the research does and does not support.

How the Procedure Works

Your treatment begins with a thorough patient evaluation. All procedures are minimally invasive, outpatient, and performed using advanced imaging guidance for precise cell placement.

We use Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs or bone marrow aspirate concentrate depending on your case, both rich in growth factors, cytokines, and anti-inflammatory proteins. Exosome therapy is available as a complementary option for some patients. Most patients return home the same day.

For patients weighing their options, our comparison of stem cell therapy versus surgery and our overview of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as an alternative or adjunct treatment may also be helpful before your consultation.

R3 Stem Cell serves that expectation with board-certified physicians specializing in orthopedics and regenerative medicine, consistent clinical protocols across our national network, and documented cell quality standards that most clinics do not publish.

Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan. Every product is sourced from certified facilities with verified viability documentation. Every procedure is preceded by full informed consent. To understand what to look for when evaluating a provider, see our guide on choosing the right stem cell clinic.

If cost is a consideration, R3 Stem Cell offers financing options for stem cell therapy to make treatment more accessible for patients across South Florida.

Many products marketed as stem cell therapy contain minimal viable cells or come from facilities that do not meet federal manufacturing standards. R3 Stem Cell uses only FDA-registered, AABB-accredited suppliers with cGMP processing and 98 to 99 percent cell viability at time of preparation. This directly affects whether treatment has a meaningful biological effect.

Understanding the difference between cell sources matters. Our resource comparing bone marrow versus umbilical cord stem cell therapy and the overview of autologous versus allogeneic stem cells explain these distinctions in plain terms.

Peer-reviewed studies on MSC therapy for knee osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, and rotator cuff injury have documented improvements in pain scores and physical function at 6 and 12 months. The evidence base is still developing, long-term data remains limited, and outcomes vary between patients. R3 Stem Cell follows the clinical literature and applies it honestly to each treatment plan.

If joint pain, reduced mobility, or chronic discomfort has not responded to standard treatment, stem cell therapy may be worth evaluating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As of July 1, 2025, Florida law (SB 1768) authorizes licensed physicians to administer stem cell therapies for orthopedic conditions, wound care, and pain management. Treatments must use products from FDA-registered, accredited facilities. Physicians are required to provide written informed consent disclosing that these therapies have not yet received FDA approval.

Is stem cell therapy FDA-approved?

Most stem cell therapies for orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions are not FDA-approved. They are considered investigational. A small number of stem cell treatments have received full FDA approval, primarily for blood-related conditions. Any reputable clinic will disclose this clearly before treatment.

What conditions can stem cell therapy help with?

Stem cell therapy is most commonly used to address joint pain, cartilage degeneration, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative disc disease, hip and knee arthritis, tendon injuries, and chronic back and neck pain. It is also being explored for neuropathy, autoimmune conditions, and other chronic disorders. Results vary by patient and condition.

How long does stem cell therapy take, and what is recovery like?

Most procedures are completed in a single outpatient visit, typically within one to two hours. There is no general anesthesia and no large incision. Mild soreness or swelling at the injection site is common for a few days. Most patients resume normal light activity quickly, with full recovery timelines varying by condition and treatment area.

Does insurance cover stem cell therapy?

Most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, do not cover stem cell therapy for orthopedic or musculoskeletal conditions because these treatments remain investigational. Patients typically pay out of pocket. R3 Stem Cell offers financing options to help make treatment more accessible.

How many stem cell injections will I need?

This depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and how your body responds. Some patients see meaningful improvement after a single injection. Others may benefit from a follow-up session several months later. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your specific evaluation.

What is the difference between bone marrow stem cells and umbilical cord stem cells?

Bone marrow stem cells are collected from the patient’s own body, typically from the hip, using a needle under local anesthesia. Umbilical cord stem cells (Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs) come from donated birth tissue processed at certified labs. Cord-derived cells are younger, require no extraction procedure, and arrive with standardized, documented viability. Each source has different clinical applications, and your provider will recommend the appropriate option for your case.
