How does our unique stem cell sports rehabilitation programme work?

With us in Istanbul, all our stem cell treatments are carefully evaluated and performed by specialists with extensive expertise in the relevant field, trained in both the United States and Turkey, and not solely by general practitioners. We do this to ensure that the treatment provides the highest level of precision and understanding of the condition, and to ensure the quality of treatment for you.

We value clarity and honesty, which is why not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments. Our specialist thoroughly evaluates the patient's current health status and medical history to determine whether treatment is appropriate. We do this to avoid false promises and unrealistic expectations, especially when the risks outweigh the benefits. Patient safety is our top priority, which is why each patient is assessed by the specialist before treatment is planned.

  1. Step 1.

    Specialist assessment

    Our specialist will assess your age and previous medical treatments for Unique Sports Rehabilitation. In addition, the specialist will need to review specific medical tests depending on the type of injury or condition you suffered during your sporting activities.

  2. Step 2.

    Free telephone consultation with the specialist

    After the specialist has reviewed your medical records and confirmed your suitability, we will present treatment options and pricing. At this stage, we also offer a free telephone consultation to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

  3. Step 3.

    Stem cell preparation

    Once you decide to undergo our treatment, we will send a deposit invoice to begin the stem cell preparation process. This allows the stem cells to be 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

What exactly does Unique sports rehabilitation with stem cell therapy entail?

Unique sports rehabilitation with stem cell therapy is an advanced treatment that uses stem cells to heal sports-related injuries and accelerate the recovery process. These stem cells promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation, which can help you return to your favorite sporting activities.

What types of sports injuries can be treated with stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy can be used effectively for a wide range of sports injuries, including sprains, muscle tears, tendonitis, joint problems and even fractures. It can also help with chronic conditions such as tendinitis.

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 do stem cells work to heal sports injuries?

Stem cells have the unique ability to renew themselves and develop into different types of cells. They produce growth factors and anti-inflammatory substances that promote the healing and regeneration of damaged tissue.

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.
