Stem Cell Therapy for Arthritis, Arthrosis, and Osteochondrosis: Return to Pain-Free Movement
Rediscover the joy of effortless movement. At Swiss Medica, we offer a safe and personalized solution for musculoskeletal conditions, supporting your body to restore naturally without the need for surgery.
Our treatment helps reverse or slow the progression of degenerative diseases, reduce inflammation, and restore joint and spinal disc function. It helps patients with arthritis, arthrosis, and osteochondrosis have a more active lifestyle and live pain-free at any age.
Improvements Our Patients Achieved: Less Pain, More Movement
The primary benefit of our stem cell treatment for patients with musculoskeletal issues is that it helps to reduce joint destruction while partially or completely restoring joint and spinal disc function. It impacts every aspect of our patients' daily lives:
- Decreased inflammation and pain relief
- Improved mobility
- Restored joint cartilage and other tissues
- Regained independence in daily activities
Note: Results may vary, and some patients may not see any improvements. There are contraindications, and not everyone is a candidate for our comprehensive treatment program.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works for Arthritis, Arthrosis, and Osteochondrosis
Arthritis, arthrosis, and osteochondrosis are commonly associated with aging, but they can also affect young people, particularly those who put excessive and repetitive strain on their joints, like athletes.
Scientific studies have shown that stem cell therapy is a promising method for regenerating joint tissue, particularly in the middle to late stages of arthritis and related conditions. It can reduce chronic inflammation and promote healing through the following mechanisms:
- Modulating the immune response to reduce inflammation.
- Differentiating into cartilage cells to aid in the regeneration of damaged articular cartilage
- Releasing bioactive factors that help reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
- Preventing further damage by supporting the restoration of joint function.
To assist you in delving deeply into scientific studies and making informed decisions, we have listed references at the bottom of this page.

Comprehensive Stem Cell Treatment for Musculoskeletal Issues
Through more than 13 years of experience, we have developed a safe, comprehensive, and patient-centered treatment process designed to address a patient's unique health profile.
- 1
Eligibility Evaluation
Consult with our medical advisors to discuss your patient’s unique needs and determine eligibility. Our qualified physicians will conduct a thorough medical evaluation and review your medical records, tests, and imaging studies to assess overall health and suitability for stem cell therapy. - 2
Treatment Plan Development
Based on the medical evaluation, we will create a personalized treatment plan, potentially including stem cell therapy, complementary therapies like exosomes treatment, and supportive care. Our treatment protocol provides comprehensive care for the patient, with the treatment usually lasting between 5 and 9 days. This is followed by up to 5 weeks of supportive care at home. - 3
Stem Cell Preparation
Before your treatment, we harvest multipotent mesenchymal stem cells from various sources in our own laboratory. These are then cultivated and activated in our lab, ensuring that the stem cell products are ready when you arrive at the clinic. Exosomes and secretome are produced from cells during cultivation. - 4
Administration
We administer stem cells through a painless procedure. It can include an IV drip with donor stem cells or an intra-articular injection of the patient’s own stem cells. The process takes less than an hour and is designed to target multiple symptom groups. - 5
Additional Therapy
We monitor your condition and assess progress through physical therapy and regular evaluations. Based on the doctor’s recommendations, we may also incorporate additional therapies like exosomes therapy, plasmapheresis, intracellular metabolic therapy, kinesiotherapy, and various physiotherapy methods (electrostimulation, spark/shock therapy, superinductive system, etc.) to enhance the effectiveness of stem cell treatment. - 6
Follow-Up Care
Patients receive exosomes during treatment to enhance therapy effects, and we stay in touch with them on a regular basis to monitor their progress. - 7
Free Final Check-up
While not obligatory, we recommend a final free evaluation at the clinic in 3–6 months to review progress and ensure continued well-being.
Note: For safety reasons, doctors determine the dose for every patient individually, never exceeding the maximum safe dose. Side effects are rare and disappear in a short time.
The efficacy of the therapy is determined by factors such as the patient's condition, length of illness, age, and lifestyle. In some cases, combining stem cells with other therapies may provide better results than using stem cells alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ section1. Are there any contraindications for stem cell therapy?
Active oncology, acute infections, prior negative experiences with cell-based therapies, mental disorders, and individual characteristics such as age and body weight are all potential contraindications. Doctors, on the other hand, consider each patient's medical history and individual suitability when determining the safety and efficacy of therapy.
Importantly, we never use embryonic stem cells. This is not only a matter of safety, avoiding risks like tumors, but also a reflection of our commitment to ethical and moral values.
2. How many stem cell therapy sessions are needed?
The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of your condition and your individual health needs. For some patients, one session may be sufficient to see significant improvement, while others may require additional sessions over time. After an initial assessment, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific case.
3. Are there any side effects of stem cell therapy for arthritis, arthrosis, and osteochondrosis?
Stem cell therapy is generally considered safe, and most patients do not experience serious side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there may be some temporary and mild side effects. These can include:
- Mild pain or swelling at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few days.
- Bruising or redness in the area where the cells were administered.
- Low-grade fever or fatigue in the initial days after the procedure as the body responds to the therapy.
These side effects are typically short-lived and part of the body’s natural healing response. After the procedure, they all disappear within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare but can occur, which is why our team closely monitors every patient before, during, and after treatment to ensure safety.
4. What is the recovery process like after stem cell therapy?
After receiving stem cell therapy, patients typically experience minimal downtime. You may be advised to rest for a few days and avoid heavy physical activities. Many patients report improvements in mobility and pain reduction within a few weeks, but results vary depending on the severity of the condition. Physical therapy and following the prescribed exercises can enhance the results and speed up recovery.
