Clinical map
Start with the diagnosis, stage, and treatment context
Your joint, severity, biomechanics, and goals all shape the product, route, and outcome plan we recommend.
Established care comes first
- Therapeutic exercise: Strength, aerobic capacity, mobility, and joint-specific function, built into an individualized plan.
- Symptoms and load: Education, weight support, topical or oral medicines, braces, and conventional injections used appropriately.
- Surgical pathway: When pain and disability stay severe, we compare our program honestly with joint-preserving or replacement surgery.
- 01
Lower-limb joints
Knee, hip, ankle, and foot symptoms are shaped by alignment, gait, strength, and prior injury — we map each factor before treating.
- 02
Upper-limb joints
Hand and shoulder osteoarthritis affect grip, reach, and daily tasks differently, and get their own tailored plan.
- 03
Alternative diagnoses
Inflammatory arthritis, crystal disease, osteonecrosis, and tendon disease can mimic osteoarthritis — we screen for these first.
Direct answer
What the current evidence says
Osteoarthritis evidence is strongest for the knee, and we're upfront when hip, hand, shoulder, ankle, or spine involvement calls for a different approach. Every plan starts by confirming your joint, grade, and mechanics, then matching you to an image-guided injection with a documented product and dose where the evidence supports it. We keep exercise, weight management, and guideline-based care as the backbone of your plan alongside any injection. Request your free medical evaluation and we'll tell you exactly what your joint and grade qualify for.
Evidence position
What is known, what is investigational, and what is not demonstrated
Joint-matched injection protocols
Therapeutic exercise and weight management, where relevant, stay core to your plan across every joint we treat.
Joint anatomy sets the technique
Strong knee trial results don't automatically transfer to another joint or a different cell preparation — we tell you what actually applies to you.
We don't extend local evidence to IV therapy
Pain relief, function, and imaging changes are tracked as separate outcomes, and we report on all of them honestly.
Product and route
A mechanism is not a clinical outcome
- 01
Joint anatomy sets the technique
Deep joints such as the hip require image guidance with different anatomy and risk from a knee injection — we plan for that difference.
BoundaryEvidence applies only to the studied product, population, dose, route, comparator, and endpoint.
- 02
We don't extend local evidence to IV therapy
Systemic infusion isn't established for isolated degenerative joint disease, and we won't sell it as if local-injection evidence applies.
BoundaryEvidence applies only to the studied product, population, dose, route, comparator, and endpoint.
Evidence ledger
Read the actual study, including the result that did not change
Each row keeps product identity, route, endpoint, and limitation together so one trial cannot become a generic treatment claim.
01 OARSI non-surgical osteoarthritis guideline
Open source- Product
- Core and joint-specific non-surgical treatments, not a cell product
- Route
- Treatment-specific established routes
- Design
- Evidence-based guideline for knee, hip, and polyarticular osteoarthritis
- Finding
- The guideline organizes care by joint, comorbidity, exercise, education, weight management, and appropriate symptom options.
- Limitation
- It does not establish a stem-cell class effect, cartilage regeneration, or benefit across every joint.
Outcomes before travel
Decide what meaningful change would look like
A baseline and a time point matter more than an isolated testimonial. These measures should be chosen before any intervention.
