Stem cell treatment for knee arthritis & injuries
Advanced, non-surgical therapies for knee arthritis, meniscus, tendon, and ligament tears, overuse injuries, and other orthopedic conditions.
Knee pain
Knee pain can affect nearly every part of daily life
Simple movements like walking up stairs, standing from a chair, or bending down to pick something up can become uncomfortable and limiting. For active people, knee pain may interfere with running, sports, or workouts. Even putting weight on the joint during everyday activities can be discouraging when discomfort is constant.
Instead of masking symptoms or turning to invasive surgery, regenerative treatments such as stem cell therapy from bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) work to stimulate the body’s own repair processes. These advanced, image-guided injections deliver concentrated healing components directly into the injured or arthritic knee, with the goal of reducing pain and restoring function over time.

Primary treatment
Stem cell therapy (BMAC)
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate provides a rich source of stem cells and growth factors that may help repair damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments in the knee.
Each treatment is performed by Dr. Venkatesh Movva with ultrasound or X-ray guidance to ensure accurate placement.
Before surgery or steroids
Why consider regenerative injections first?
For knee pain, traditional options often involve corticosteroid injections or surgical procedures such as arthroscopy or knee replacement. Steroid injections may temporarily reduce inflammation but do not heal the underlying tissue, and repeated use can weaken it. Surgery can be effective in some cases but often requires a lengthy recovery and carries risks of complications.
Regenerative injection procedures provide a minimally invasive alternative that focuses on preserving and repairing tissue. By encouraging natural healing, these therapies may reduce pain, improve mobility, and help patients delay or avoid major surgery.
Recovery timeline
What to expect after treatment
All patients go home the same day. Mild soreness at the bone marrow collection site and injection areas is common for several days, as the healing process begins with a natural inflammatory response.
-
First few days
Mild soreness or stiffness is typical.
-
Weeks 2–6
Gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and daily function.
-
Months 2–6
Continued healing as stem cells and growth factors support tissue repair.

Patient reviews
Dr. Movva has helped me get my life back. I had been told I needed a double knee replacement. I went to see Dr. Movva and he said it wasn't needed and he could help. I did his procedure and within a few weeks I was back to walking and a normal life. That has been 14 months ago and I still have no knee issues.
Dr. Movva’s stem cell and platelet approach to joint/knee treatment is amazing. Its kept me using my original knees and eliminated or reduced the pain significantly. I am very active and workout regularly and my knees are fantastic!
The stem cell and injections have improved my knees and allowed me to resume normal lifestyle activities I was not able to do without braces prior.
I wouldn’t think of seeing anyone else for joint repair! No knee replacements for me. Thank you, Dr. Movva and crew.
My son Corbyn is a D1 soccer player that had a small meniscal tear… Dr Movva thoughtfully ordered a “thin slice” MRI that provided more thorough imaging and led to the correct diagnosis and treatment program. Corbyn received stem cell and PRP treatment on his knee and was back on the field in six weeks.
Great experience with Dr. Movva — office staff fantastic. Had stem cells placed 11 years ago with great results. Returned this week to have 2 joints redone plus added a shoulder.

Knee patient stories
Can regenerative treatments help me avoid surgery?
Many patients seek regenerative orthopedic care because they want to delay or avoid surgery whenever appropriate. While surgery may still be necessary in some cases, our goal is to explore advanced non-surgical options that may help relieve pain, improve function, and support natural healing before considering surgical intervention.
Can regenerative treatments help if I've already been told I need surgery?
Some patients who have been advised to undergo surgery may still benefit from a regenerative orthopedic evaluation. Depending on the condition and its severity, advanced non-surgical treatments may be an option to help improve function or potentially delay surgery. However, surgery remains the best treatment for some conditions, and recommendations are made on an individual basis.
How long before I notice improvement?
Healing is a gradual biological process. Some patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, while others continue to experience progress over several months as damaged tissues respond to regenerative treatment.
Can I return to sports or exercise after the treatment?
Return to sports depends on your diagnosis, the procedure performed, and your body's healing response. Our team develops individualized recovery plans designed to help patients safely return to their desired activities as healing progresses.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your diagnosis, severity of injury, treatment goals, and healing response. Some patients achieve their desired outcome after a single procedure, while others may benefit from a staged treatment plan.
How much does stem cell therapy cost?
Cost depends on the area being treated and your individual plan. Dr. Movva confirms whether you are a candidate first; our team then gives you a customized treatment plan and a written quote before anything is scheduled. Stem cell (bone marrow concentrate) procedures start from $5,500, and HCP and PRP procedures start from $1,000; your exact quote follows the complimentary consultation. We want these procedures to be accessible, so there are different ways to pay: an in-house payment plan, and payment plans with no hard credit check through Cherry.
