Stem cell therapy is a modern, proven method for relieving joint pain after sports injuries and especially cartilage damage. The therapy can lead to a long-term improvement in symptoms and in some cases even complete freedom from symptoms.
Stem cell therapy can treat osteoarthritis, i. as well as injuries to the cartilage surface in knee joints, hip joints, shoulder joints and ankle joints.
What are stem cells?
Stem cells have the ability to grow indefinitely. They renew themselves and can divide and develop - that is their main task. They remain functional into old age and heal tissue after injuries and damage. Unlike stem cells, normal body cells cannot do this.
This is exactly where the therapy starts. Supercells are applied to the damaged joint to initiate a healing process, essentially repairing the joint surface.
Stem cell therapy at a glance:
Stem cell therapy is a type of therapy that makes use of the body's own stem cells described above with their great potential and properties for healing. The therapy does not require any foreign substances.
In stem cell therapy, cells are taken from the subcutaneous fat tissue, then specially prepared using a patented procedure and injected into the affected joint.
We take the stem cells from the abdominal fat, as many studies show that the concentration of stem cells in fatty tissue is up to 500 times higher than in bone marrow. The cells are taken under local anesthesia using a small liposuction from the subcutaneous fat tissue. The subsequent processing of the removed stem cells results in a concentration of around 1,200,000 - 1,500,000 stem cells.
Of course, you will be informed in detail about the therapy and costs in advance.

After numerous sports injuries as a child and teenager, it quickly became clear that I wanted to become a sports doctor. After studying in Freiburg, Berlin, Vienna and Basel, I trained at the renowned Institute for Sports Medicine at the University of Freiburg and at the Charité in Berlin.
I have had my own practice in Berlin Tempelhof since 2012. It has been in existence since the 1920s and is a traditional business with many loyal patients. My partner Dr. Carl Döring and I work personally without assistant doctors, which means that you will always receive specialist treatment.
In addition to my work in my practice, I regularly supervise sporting events. Many amateur and professional athletes regularly visit our practice and value our expertise.
Stem cell therapy is now an excellent way to relieve joint pain. If this form of therapy is not an option for you, we offer a variety of other therapies. It is best to discuss this in a personal consultation.
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you!
Sincerely, Dr. Andreas Dahmen
How do stem cells work against damage in joints?
Injuries and cartilage damage in the joints lead to damage to the surface. The affected joints are painful and inflammation occurs, which in turn leads to impaired and reduced mobility of the joints.
Stem cell therapy can renew the tissue, i.e. the surface structure, and thus alleviate pain and then increase the ability to bear weight.
Treatment with stem cells improves the natural cartilage layer and thus the function of the joint. In the long term, the therapy ensures freedom from pain, reduced inflammation factors and can avoid the need for prosthetic replacements.
How effective is the therapy for joint damage?
Numerous study results from renowned researchers report a positive effect of the therapy. The risks are extremely low because the therapy does not involve any foreign substances.Please make an appointment for a preliminary discussion.
