Restore, Repair, and Relieve — Naturally

At Source Healthcare in Santa Monica, California, we offer advanced regenerative treatments, including stem cell therapy, to help your body heal itself. By harnessing your body’s natural cellular repair mechanisms, our therapies reduce inflammation, relieve chronic pain, and promote long-term healing—all without surgery.

As leaders in interventional orthopedics and regenerative medicine, our team uses the latest technology and imaging guidance to deliver precisely targeted, minimally invasive treatments tailored to your condition.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cell therapy involves injecting concentrated stem cells, typically derived from your own body, directly into damaged or degenerated tissues. At Source Healthcare, we use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) collected from either bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue—both rich in cells capable of regenerating musculoskeletal structures.

These MSCs have the unique ability to:

  • Develop into specialized cells such as cartilage, bone, tendon, or ligament
  • Reduce inflammation in injured tissues
  • Stimulate healing by releasing signaling molecules and exosomes

Each treatment is carefully prepared and administered under real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance, ensuring accurate placement and optimal outcomes.

What Conditions Can Stem Cell Therapy Treat?

Stem cell therapy is most effective for musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Discogenic Lower Back Pain
  • Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Shoulder)
  • Rotator Cuff or Meniscus Tears
  • Tendon and Ligament Injuries

These conditions often involve poor blood supply or chronic inflammation—two factors that impair healing. Stem cell injections can provide a boost by jumpstarting the body’s natural repair systems.

Understanding Discogenic Pain

Discogenic pain originates from one or more of the intervertebral discs—the cushion-like structures between the bones in your spine. Over time, these discs may degenerate, become inflamed, or develop tears, causing chronic low back pain that radiates or worsens with activity.

Signs of discogenic pain may include:

  • A dull, aching pain in the lower back
  • Pain that worsens when sitting, bending, or lifting
  • Limited range of motion or flexibility in the spine

Conventional treatments often include physical therapy, medications, or surgery—but stem cell therapy offers a non-surgical, regenerative alternative.

Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Discs

At Source Healthcare, we specialize in regenerative spine care. For patients with disc-related back pain, we offer intradiscal stem cell injections— procedures in which MSCs are placed directly into the affected disc.

Potential benefits include:

  • Slowing disc degeneration
  • Reducing inflammation inside the disc
  • Avoiding or delaying spinal surgery

These treatments are performed in-office under imaging guidance to ensure precision and comfort.

Where Do My Stem Cells Come From?

We use autologous stem cells, meaning they are sourced from your own body. This minimizes the risk of rejection or adverse reactions. We typically collect stem cells from one of two sources:

  • Bone Marrow: Extracted from the back of your pelvic bone using a quick, minimally invasive procedure.
  • Adipose (Fat) Tissue: Taken via a small liposuction procedure, usually from the abdomen or thigh.

After collection, your cells are processed to isolate the highest concentration of MSCs, which are then reinjected into the area of need the same day.

Clinical Trials and Innovation

Source Healthcare actively participates in FDA-regulated clinical trials to advance the science of regenerative medicine. These trials evaluate the safety and effectiveness of novel stem cell-based therapies for conditions like low back pain and knee osteoarthritis. Through novel strategies like cellular expansion or hypoxic culturing, these investigational products aim to increase the efficacy of the stem cell treatment.

By enrolling eligible patients, we stay at the forefront of emerging treatments—while offering our patients access to cutting-edge care.
