Their stem-cell treatment is a quick procedure, too. Done in a day, using the on-site laboratory, stem cells are extracted from the patient's bone marrow and a concentrated dose of cells will be injected precisely into the damaged area, enhancing the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Administered via injection, the concentrated dose of growth factors from the patient´s blood assist stem cell activity as they work to repair damaged tissue at the site of injury.
