Arthritis pain and stiffness can wear you down a little more each year. Stem Cells LA offers non-surgical stem cell therapy for arthritis in the knees, hips, shoulders and other joints from our clinic at 1970 S Prospect Ave, Suite #2, in Redondo Beach, serving patients across Los Angeles and the South Bay.
Our guide to arthritis vs osteoarthritis explains the differences in more detail.
The most common joint we treat for arthritis. Knee stem cell therapy →
Shoulder arthritis, often alongside rotator cuff wear. Shoulder stem cell therapy →
Hip arthritis with groin or outer hip pain and stiffness when walking or getting up.
Arthritis in the small joints of the hands, thumb base and wrist.
Arthritis after old ankle sprains or fractures, and wear in the foot joints.
Arthritis of the spine’s small facet joints. Stem cells for pain management →
We use allograft stem cells from donated umbilical cords. The cord blood is processed into a solution containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), other supporting cells, exosomes, cytokines and growth factors. MSCs release signaling molecules associated with lower inflammation and tissue repair, and they can develop into cartilage and bone cells.
The solution is injected into the affected joint. The aim is to reduce the inflammation that drives arthritis pain and stiffness and to support the joint’s own repair, so you can stay active with less pain. Whether stem cells can rebuild worn cartilage is still being studied, and results vary, so we go over the evidence for your joint before you decide.
Arthritis care usually starts with weight management, exercise, physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication. Cortisone injections can ease a flare, though relief is often temporary. Joint replacement surgery is an option for advanced arthritis but means surgery and a long recovery.
Stem cell therapy for arthritis is an injection-based option for people with mild to moderate arthritis who are not getting enough relief and want to avoid or delay surgery. It is not a cure for arthritis and does not replace joint replacement when the joint is severely worn.
We review your joints, imaging, past treatments and the activities you want to keep doing.
If stem cell therapy fits, we explain which joints to treat first and how many sessions to expect.
Treatment is done in our Redondo Beach clinic, with no surgery and no general anesthesia.
Most patients have little to no downtime. We follow your progress and adjust the plan.
The best candidates usually have mild to moderate osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis in one or a few joints, are in reasonable general health, and have not had enough relief from conservative care. Severe, bone-on-bone arthritis may be better served by a surgeon. A consultation is the only way to know whether stem cell therapy for arthritis makes sense for you.
Our Medical Director, Dr. Paramdeep Bhasin, earned an MD at Karnatak Medical College in 1995 and has more than 20 years of experience in anesthesiology, with a background in pain management. Meet Dr. Bhasin.
Many of our arthritis patients in Los Angeles want to stay active, keep working or delay a joint replacement for as long as possible. We plan treatment around the joints that limit you most and are clear about what stem cell therapy for arthritis can and cannot do.
Bring recent X-rays or MRI reports for the joints that bother you most, a list of medications and a short history of past treatments, including physical therapy, cortisone or gel injections. If you take blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medication or medication for an autoimmune condition, tell us at booking so we can plan safely.
After an arthritis injection, most patients return to normal daily activity within a day or two. We often suggest low-impact movement such as walking, cycling or swimming while you build back, along with any exercise program from your physical therapist. Changes in arthritis pain and stiffness usually build gradually over weeks to months, and we review your progress before planning any further sessions.

No. Stem cell therapy is not a cure for arthritis. The aim is to reduce inflammation and pain and support the joint’s own repair so you can stay active.
Most often knees, shoulders and hips, and also hands, wrists, ankles and the small joints of the spine. We assess each joint at your consultation.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, so we evaluate it differently and alongside your rheumatologist’s care. We explain honestly whether treatment makes sense for you.
Most patients have little to no downtime. Temporary soreness or swelling at the injection site is common for a few days.
It depends on how many joints are involved and your goals. We explain the expected number of sessions at your consultation.
No. Allograft stem cell therapy is not an FDA-approved procedure and comes with no guarantees. We explain the evidence for your condition before you decide.
