If you or someone you know is suffering from the long-term impacts of COVID, you know it’s not easy to find relief. A trial using stem cells to treat long-term COVID symptoms has been so successful, more patients are being added.

New numbers show that one out of 12 adults over the age of 25 will have a knee replacement sometime during their lifetime. “I have some arthritis in that knee, osteoarthritis, and I wanted to avoid at all costs another knee replacement,” shared Perez. “It set off this revolution worldwide of getting stem cells from fat,” Jason Dragoo, MD an orthopedic surgeon at UCHealth, Denver. And now, he’s using those stem cells to ease his patients’ knee pain. And we looked at the fat pad and it contains a very high number of stem cells,” illustrated Dr. Dragoo.
