Are you dealing with persistent knee pain, an old ligament injury or cartilage wear? The first step toward regaining mobility may be stem cell therapy for knee injuries, a minimally-invasive option that’s gaining traction as an alternative—or a complement—to traditional surgical interventions. At the practice of Dr. Mamun Alrashid, M.D., you’ll receive a personalized, evidence-based approach to knee health: first exploring regenerative treatments tailored to your individual needs, and then, if necessary, moving on to advanced surgical options designed for faster recovery.
What is Stem Cell Therapy for the Knee?
Stem cell therapy harnesses your body’s own regenerative power by extracting stem cells—typically from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue—and delivering them directly into the injured knee joint. These stem cells can help reduce inflammation, signal repair, and support regeneration of cartilage, ligaments and meniscal tissue.
Used for conditions including meniscus tears, ligament sprains and strains, chronic cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis, this approach offers a proactive step before committing to full surgical procedures.
Why Choose a Personalized Approach with Dr. Alrashid?
Tailored Evaluation: Dr. Alrashid takes the time to assess your unique anatomy, injury history and lifestyle goals. Stem cell therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—each treatment is customized.
Comprehensive Regenerative Care: If stem cell therapy is appropriate, you’ll benefit from the latest regenerative medicine techniques to maximize healing and delay or avoid more invasive procedures.
Surgical Excellence, if Needed: Should surgery become the best option, Dr. Alrashid offers cutting-edge techniques and a fast-recovery focus—so you receive seamless continuity of care from regenerative therapy through to recovery.
Patient-Centred Decision-Making: You’ll be supported every step of the way—regenerative options first, surgery only if required—so you get the most effective, least-invasive path for your knee.

Who Can Benefit from Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Injuries?
Good candidates often include patients with:
Meniscus tears or partial ligament injuries
Early to moderate cartilage degeneration or osteoarthritis
Chronic knee pain that has not responded to conservative treatments
A desire to delay or avoid full knee replacement surgery
However, it’s important to note that for severe joint damage or advanced “bone-on-bone” arthritis, stem cell therapy may not fully replace surgery—but it can still play a vital role in a combined treatment plan. Some clinical review evidence shows only modest improvement in these advanced cases.
What to Expect from the Procedure
- Harvesting – Stem cells are collected from your own body, usually from bone marrow (hip) or adipose tissue (abdomen or buttock) under local anesthesia
- Processing – The cells are prepared in a sterile lab and concentrated for injection.
- Injection – Guided imaging (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) places the stem cells precisely in the damaged area of your knee. Initially you may feel soreness for 48–72 hours; many patients return to baseline within about a week.
- Rehabilitation & Follow-Up – Dr. Alrashid and his team will create a tailored recovery plan including physical therapy, follow-up visits and progress monitoring to optimize outcomes.
What Are the Benefits?
Minimally invasive: Compared to open surgery, stem cell therapy typically involves less downtime and fewer risks.
Faster recovery: Many patients resume light activity within days and rehab in weeks, rather than months of surgical recovery.
Natural healing: Because the therapy uses your own cells and promotes regeneration rather than just symptom relief, it addresses the underlying problem.
Potential to delay or avoid surgery: For many individuals, this approach may postpone—or in some cases eliminate—the need for full knee replacement.

Important Considerations & Balanced View
- While results are promising, clinical research is still emerging. A recent systematic review concluded that stem cell injections may modestly improve pain and function at six months, but long-term benefits and safety require more data.
- Outcomes vary: how far you benefit depends on factors like age, overall health, extent of damage, and adherence to rehabilitation.
- This therapy is often not covered by insurance and may involve out-of-pocket costs—something our team will clarify upfront.
- Dr. Alrashid only recommends stem cell therapy when clinically appropriate; if surgical intervention offers the best long-term outcome, that will be discussed transparently.
Before all of this he was very careful and helpful, explaining everything in detail from beginning to end, even tried a few treatments before jumping into an operation.
(injections/pills/scans etc)
He explained the pros and con very well. His staff is excellent in the Loxahatchee and Lake Worth office. I'm very happy I found him. My leg feels superior than my normal leg and it's only been three weeks. The incision was tiny, and after seeing him three weeks after the operation (today), the prosthetic is perfectly in place. I barely have any pain other than wound aches from the muscle incision, which of course is healing every single day.
I no longer feel any electrical surges on my leg, spasms, or the leg not waking up when I'm in a sitting position or sleeping. Literally feels perfect. I have nothing negative to say, would definitely recommend him to everybody. I like the fact that he was very detailed with everything from beginning to end.
He takes his job very seriously well being relatable and is not the type of doctor that jumps into an instant operation, unless absolutely needed, which is positive.
