Stem cell therapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses the patient's own stem cells to treat a variety of conditions. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can become any type of cell. When injected into an injured or diseased area, stem cells can help repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
