What are stem cells?

Stem cells are a type of cell that has the unique ability to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They are considered the building blocks of the body and play a crucial role in the development, growth, and repair of tissues and organs. Stem cells can be found in various parts of the body, such as bone marrow, blood, and adipose tissue.

One type of stem cell that has gained a lot of attention in recent years is mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including bone, cartilage, and fat cells. They are also known to have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, making them a promising tool in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. MSCs can be obtained from various sources, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord tissue.

Stem cell therapy for rotator cuff pain

Stem cell therapy is an innovative and promising treatment for rotator cuff pain. One advantage of stem cell therapy for rotator cuff pain is that it can provide a long-lasting and surgery free solution to the problem.  Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into the specific cell types needed for tissue repair, and they also release growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules that can further enhance healing.

In comparison to other treatments for rotator cuff pain, such as physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or surgery, stem cell therapy offers a unique approach that addresses the underlying damage to the tissue. It has the potential to reduce pain, improve function, and restore quality of life for patients with rotator cuff injuries. In addition, stem cell therapy is minimally invasive, with fewer risks and complications than surgical procedures.

How much does stem cell therapy cost?

The cost of Stem Cell Therapy needs to be determined by our expert medical team, as prices depend on the specific condition and personalized medical recommendations. Our dedicated team of medical professionals carefully evaluates each patient's unique health situation to recommend the most effective therapy. Stem Cell Therapy includes the following:

• • Laboratory protocol by Dr. Anand (activation of the stem cells to direct them towards the affected tissue or organ)
  • 1 - 3 stem cell vials (35 - 105 million stem cells)
  • 1 - 10 billion exosomes (volume depends on the doctor's personal evaluation of each patient)
  • Oxygen Therapy
  • Body preparation
  • Medical Consultation
  • Dietitian Follow-up post-therapy
  • Transportation hotel-clinic in local shuttle
  • Lodging (available in our Clinic in Algodones) at Hotel Hacienda or Hotel Cielito Lindo
  • Preferential prices for future reinforcements/applications

Giostar's Approach to Stem Cell Therapy

Being part of the last three decades of innovative discoveries in the research-based area of regenerative medicine, Stem Cell Therapy promotes the reduction and stoppage of degenerative diseases or conditions, such as ALS, physical injuries and aging, bolstering the regeneration of damaged tissues, bodily processes and overall well-being.

Giostar Mexico specializes in medical tourism, receiving patients from all over the world. With the acquired understanding based on scientific research, we are able to provide personalized protocols to each patient. Through specialized allogenic mesenchymal adult stem cells, our regenerative therapy concentrates stem cells in the targeted area, organ or immune system, helping the body stop the progression of a disease or condition and begin regeneration. 

Stem cell therapy in Mexico

• Is stem cell therapy safe and legal in Mexico?

An important question our patients ask before coming to our clinics is: Is stem cell therapy safe? We also understand that, perhaps, the real question is: 

• Is stem cell therapy legal in Mexico? Yes and of course! 

In Giostar Mexico, we ask for each applicant to submit a health history form, from which our medical directors personally evaluate the viability of each applicant. This means that stem cell therapy may not be for everyone. 

Stem cell therapy is thoroughly regulated by the Mexican FDA equivalent: COFEPRIS. Due to advanced legislation, Mexico enjoys sufficient regulatory framework to offer applications otherwise unavailable in countries such as the US or Canada, for example, local direct applications (hands for arthritis, shoulder pain, knee pain), lumbar and cervical applications, all of which have proven better results for patients, than just receiving stem cell therapy intravenously.

Why Choose GIOSTAR Mexico?

GIOSTAR Mexico stands out for its commitment to personalized therapy for various diseases. Recognizing that each patient is unique, we develop tailored protocols to cater to individual differences influenced by genetics and other factors.

To further facilitate access to stem cell therapy, we are pleased to announce our partnership with United Credit, offering eligible US citizens up to $25,000.00 USD in credit for treatment costs. Stem cell therapy, a cornerstone of regenerative medicine, aims to slow down or halt deterioration and even regenerate damaged tissues and organs. By completing our health history form, patients enable our medical staff to determine therapy suitability and craft personalized treatment plans to address specific health conditions.
