I need both knees replaced. Where can I seek stem cell therapy?

Posted by sadiegirl @sadiegirl, Mar 22, 2016

I need both knees replaced, are there stem cell therapy being done in the Chicagoland area at this time? If so how do I go about contacting them?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

Hi @sadiegirl, and welcome to Connect.

Have you spoken with your doctor about the regions stem cell therapy is available?

Hello.<br />
Google Dr. Ross Hauser – M.D. & Naturopath<br />
Does prolotherapy with “stem cells” taken from yourself. (Femur bone marrow)<br />
<br />
Good luck!

I am not sadiegirl. I inquired about shoulder replacement - not knee replacement. Do not know how this happened.<br />

Hi @needtoknow. I believe @caretothepeople was responding to a previous inquiry from @sadiegirl, not to your inquiry. I'm having trouble finding your inquiry related to a shoulder replacement? Where did you post it? You might want to consider reposting in this thread: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/shoulder-replacement-229495/. Hope this helps!

Replied earlier: Looks like not received. Try #2:

Dr. Ross Hauser, Caring Medical, Oak Park Ill. does stem cell prolotherapy for all joints: hip; knee; shoulder; back; etc.
Google him & read site... certainly worth a consult...? Surgery results for knee: not good.
