Valencia Medical Center | Valencia, CA
Stem cell therapy is one of the most exciting advancements in regenerative medicine, offering hope to patients suffering from chronic pain, joint injuries, degenerative conditions, and more. At Valencia Medical Center, we proudly offer this innovative treatment as part of our mission to provide non-surgical, minimally invasive solutions for pain relief and tissue repair.
But while stem cell therapy generates a lot of excitement, many patients still have questions—especially about its success rates. In this article, we’ll break down what stem cell therapy is, what it can treat, and what the success rates look like for different conditions.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cells are the body’s “master cells.” They have the unique ability to transform into specialized cells like muscle, cartilage, bone, or nerve tissue. In regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy involves injecting concentrated stem cells into damaged tissues to stimulate natural healing and regeneration.
At Valencia Medical Center, we use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), typically sourced from ethically collected umbilical cord tissue or the patient’s own bone marrow or fat tissue. These cells are known for their ability to reduce inflammation, modulate the immune system, and support tissue repair.
What Conditions Can Stem Cell Therapy Treat?
Stem cell therapy has shown promising results in treating:
- Osteoarthritis (knees, hips, shoulders)
- Tendon and ligament injuries (rotator cuff, Achilles tendon)
- Herniated or degenerated discs
- Chronic joint pain
- Sports injuries
- Soft tissue damage
This therapy is especially popular among individuals looking to avoid surgery or who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments.
How Successful Is Stem Cell Therapy?
The success of stem cell therapy depends on several factors, including the condition being treated, the severity of damage, the patient’s overall health, and the type of stem cells used.
✅ General Success Rates:
- Knee Osteoarthritis: Studies show a 60% to 85% improvement in pain and function within 6-12 months of treatment.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Clinical data suggests 70%+ success rates in tissue healing and pain reduction.
- Spine and Disc Issues: Early studies report success rates between 50% to 70%, especially in mild to moderate disc degeneration.
- Tendonitis and Ligament Injuries: Athletes and active individuals often report 75%+ return to function within months.
It’s important to note that stem cell therapy is not a guaranteed cure, but it does offer a high potential for significant improvement, especially when administered by experienced regenerative medicine providers like those at Valencia Medical Center.

Q&A: Stem Cell Therapy Success Rates
Q: How soon can I expect results from stem cell therapy?
A: Many patients begin to feel improvements in pain and mobility within 4 to 8 weeks, with full benefits developing over 3 to 6 months.
Q: Are the results permanent?
A: While stem cell therapy can significantly improve symptoms and function, it does not halt aging or completely reverse degeneration. However, many patients enjoy long-term relief for a year or more, and some choose periodic maintenance treatments.
Q: Does age affect the success of stem cell therapy?
A: Younger patients may respond more quickly, but age is not a disqualifier. Success depends more on your overall health, lifestyle, and severity of the condition.
Q: Is stem cell therapy FDA-approved?
A: While the FDA has not approved stem cells as a cure for any specific condition, they do permit the use of minimally manipulated autologous (your own) stem cells and certain allograft products under strict guidelines. At Valencia Medical Center, all our procedures are conducted within FDA-compliant standards.
Q: Will insurance cover the treatment?
A: Currently, most insurance plans do not cover regenerative medicine therapies like stem cells. However, we offer flexible payment options and financing plans to make care more accessible.
Q: How do I know if I’m a candidate?
A: A thorough consultation, including a physical exam and imaging if needed, will help determine if stem cell therapy is right for you. Our team will assess your condition and discuss the potential benefits and expected outcomes.
