They would rely on medications – whether they be narcotics or anti-inflammatory – but medications with side effects. Stem Cells offer the potential to actually heal your injury without surgery. So, these cells can grow into any tissue in the body, that’s what makes them so interesting. So, if it’s a meniscus tear or a rotator cuff injury.
