Stem Cell Therapy
for Knee Pain
Knee pain from arthritis or chronic injury can limit your ability to work, exercise, travel or enjoy life.
At Arthritis and Rheumatology Care Bahamas, we offer stem cell therapy options using your own biologic material, including:
- Bone marrow aspirate
- Microfat therapy
These treatments are designed to support the knee joint environment and are used in regenerative medicine for patients who want advanced options under physician supervision.
- Physician-led care
- Ultrasound-guided precision
- In-office procedure

What does “stem cell therapy” mean in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine?
In musculoskeletal regenerative medicine, “stem cell therapy” commonly refers to using biologic material from your own bodythat contain “mesenchymal stem cells” to support healing, reduce inflammation and improve function.
The goal is to help:
- reduce pain
- improve mobility
- support joint health
- delay progression where possible
Your plan depends on your symptoms, imaging findings and goals.
Bone Marrow
Aspirate Therapy
Bone marrow aspirate is collected using a sterile technique and contains a combination of:
- Regenerative cells
- Growth factors
- Supportive healing signals
Microfat
Therapy
Microfat therapy uses a small amount of your own fat tissue, processed to create a biologic treatment option that may support tissue recovery and joint function.
Microfat contains supportive components that may play a role in:
- INFLAMMATORY MODULATION
- TISSUE SUPPORT
- REGENRATIVE SIGNALING
Microfat is considered in selected cases depending on your clinical needs and goals.
What happens during the procedure?
Most patients go through:
1 / CONSULTATION
We confirm diagnosis, review any imaging and discuss your candidacy
2 / PROCEDURE VISIT
Your biologic material is collected and prepared using sterile technique Microfat is collected via mini-liposuction procedure Bone marrow aspirate is collected by bone marrow aspiration
3 / IMAGE-GUIDED INJECTION
The injection is performed with precision guidance
4 / RECOVERY GUIDANCE
You receive a clear aftercare plan and follow-up schedule
Recovery varies by patient and what is performed.
Most patients experience:
- Mild soreness
- Temporary stiffness
- Gradual improvement over time
We provide step-by-step instructions on activity modification, exercise timing and follow-up.
Biologic treatments typically work over weeks-not overnight.
Common timeline:
WEEK 1–2
Early post-procedure recovery
WEEK 3–6
Gradual improvements may begin
WEEK 6–12
Stronger results often emerge
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Chronic knee pain affecting function
- A desire for advanced regenerative options
- Interest in delaying surgery when appropriate
- If you wish to avoid surgery or are not able to have surgery
A medical evaluation is required to determine if this option fits your knee.
