Biocellular prolotherapy uses adult STEM cells, which are derived from the mesenchymal or stromal cells of adipose tissue of each patient.

These mesenchymal cells are partially differentiated cells capable of continuing down the lineage to ligament tendon cartilage cells.

They also change the tissue and joint micro-environment more favorably toward healing.

Adipose tissue contains 500-200 times more mesenchymal stem cells than bone marrow.

Adipose tissue also retains its regenerative abilities longer as a person ages than bone marrow does. It is also easier to harvest.

Biocellullar prolotherapy is used when more aggressive healing processes are needed.

Dr. Born has been doing biocellular therapy since 2013.
