Stem cell treatment for Spinal osteoarthritis
Spinal osteoarthritis is a condition in which the joints in the spine deteriorate. This degeneration can be the result of several factors, such as natural aging, overuse or injury. Spinal osteoarthritis can cause pain and discomfort and affects people of different ages. Our stem cell treatment for spinal osteoarthritis involves direct administration of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells to promote the repair of damaged joints in the spine and improve spinal health. This can lead to an improvement in the recovery process and an increased quality of life.
How is our stem cell transplant for Spinal osteoarthritis performed in Istanbul?
Spinal osteoarthritis has no cure, but various treatments can provide relief from symptoms. Certain diets are known to be helpful in the treatment of spinal osteoarthritis, as certain foods possess anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce symptoms.
Pain-relieving medication may be prescribed, and similar to osteoarthritis, specific exercises, including swimming, can be beneficial. The joints affected by spinal osteoarthritis are individually addressed with stem cell therapy and other medications. Joint replacement is a surgical intervention that may be considered.

Discuss your situationHow does our stem cell treatment for spinal osteoarthritis 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 solely 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.
- Step 1.
Specialist assessment
For patients with Spinal Osteoarthritis, our specialist will need to 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.
- 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.
- 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 scheduled treatment. This process can take 5-10 days, depending on current demand and availability.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does treatment cost, and what is included?
Costs depend on your assessment and the proposed treatment plan. Request an itemised quotation before making a decision.
The existing treatment information includes transport to and from the clinic, specialist treatment, a personal contact and follow-up. Confirm the exact arrangements in your quotation.
Before booking, request a written quotation covering treatment, tests, transport and follow-up. Confirm whether travel, accommodation, extra sessions and additional care are included. Insurance reimbursement is not automatic; check this with your insurer in advance.
Can stem cell therapy cure my osteoarthritis of the spine?
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 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.
