Stem cell treatment for Bursitis

Bursitis is a condition in which the bursa becomes inflamed. This inflammation can cause pain and discomfort. It can affect both men and women and can result from overuse or injury. Our stem cell treatment for bursitis involves direct administration of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote bursa repair, which can result in relief from pain and discomfort.

In our clinic we do not use performance-enhancing substances or components, and we strive for a relaxing atmosphere with a friendly and professional team to help you enjoy your stay.

How does our stem cell treatment for bursitis work?

All our stem cell treatments in Istanbul are assessed and administered by specialists in the field, trained in the United States and Turkey, and not by general practitioners. We do this to ensure the highest level of precision, understanding of the condition and quality of treatment for our patients. We are 100% open and honest with our patients. Not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments.

We decline treatment for many patients after our specialist reviews their current health and medical history and determines that treatment is unsuitable. This avoids false promises or expectations when the risks outweigh the benefits. For this reason, and to ensure patient safety in all our treatments, each patient is assessed by the specialist before they can plan their treatment.

  1. Step 1.

    Specialist assessment

    For patients with bursitis, our specialist must know the patient's age and previous medical treatments. In addition, he will need to review the test results you will be asked to provide.

  2. Step 2.

    Free telephone consultation with the specialist

    Once the specialist has reviewed the medical records and confirmed your suitability, we will present treatment options and pricing. We also offer a free telephone consultation to discuss your questions and concerns.

  3. Step 3.

    Stem cell preparation

    Once you decide to undergo our treatment, we will send a deposit invoice to begin the process of stem cell preparation so that it is ready for your planned treatment. This process can take 5-10 days, depending on current demand and availability.

  4. Step 4.

    Treatment day

    On the day of treatment you can choose to come to our hospital location or use our free transportation to and from our clinic in Istanbul. Our driver will pick you up at your desired location and accompany you to our clinic, where the specialist will administer the treatment, and then take you safely back.

  5. Step 5.

    Follow-up care

    Our follow-up specialist will contact you according to our follow-up schedule to ensure you have all the resources you need for maximum benefits. Your well-being and satisfaction are our top priority.

Frequently asked questions

Your life comes first

Time to talk. Space just for you.

Your questions, your wishes and your everyday life. That is where our conversation begins.

Let’s get acquainted

Can stem cell therapy cure my bursitis?

An improvement in symptoms is different from a cure. Whether stem cell therapy is a reasonable option for you depends on your diagnosis, previous treatment and the evidence for the proposed protocol. Discuss realistic goals and how progress would be measured; an individual outcome cannot be guaranteed.

Discuss pain, mobility and activity tolerance separately. Less pain does not automatically mean that cartilage, a tendon or other tissue has demonstrably regenerated.

How does this differ from conventional treatment?

Stem cell therapy focuses on potential biological effects of cells and their signalling molecules. This does not automatically make it a replacement for established care. Discuss the evidence for the specific protocol alongside conventional options, and change medication or rehabilitation only with your treating doctor.

How is my suitability assessed?

Medical assessment comes before treatment planning. Share your diagnosis, current symptoms, medication, previous treatments and available test results. The specialist considers potential benefits, risks and alternatives. Further assessment may be needed, and treatment may not be appropriate.

Which risks and side effects should I discuss?

Risks depend on the cell product, the administration method and your health. Ask the doctor to explain possible side effects and complications, how they would be managed and whom to contact after returning home. Injections and infusions are not risk-free.

How should you read these studies?

We select research by condition, cell source and administration, prioritising cord tissue and Wharton’s jelly. This is not a systematic review. A matching cell source does not mean preparation, dose or protocol matches our treatment. Extracellular vesicles, isolated exosomes and secretome are different preparations. Animal and laboratory research explores possible mechanisms; a trial protocol contains no results yet. PubMed inclusion is not treatment approval.
