If you’re experiencing persistent joint pain, soft tissue injury, or early degenerative changes that haven’t responded to conservative care, adipose tissue injections may offer a regenerative, natural path to healing

What Are Adipose Tissue Injections?

Adipose tissue injections use your body’s own fat, rich in mesenchymal stem cells and healing factors, to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery.

How Do Adipose Tissue Injections Work?

Adipose tissue treatment utilizes a powerful source of regenerative cells and growth factors. A small amount of fat is collected, typically from the abdomen or thigh, then processed and re-injected into the site of pain or injury. Once injected into damaged tissue, fat cells can help decrease inflammation, promote tissue remodeling and regeneration, support the body’s natural healing process, reduce pain and improve function.

Most individuals benefit from a single injection, though outcomes can vary based on the severity of the condition, individual health factors, and healing response. Some patients may benefit from a series or combination with other therapies for optimal results.

What Conditions Can Adipose Tissue Injections Help?

  • Chronic joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle)
  • Tendon or ligament injuries (rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, etc.)
  • Osteoarthritis (mild to moderate stages)
  • Bursitis or joint instability

It’s a minimally invasive treatment option that uses your body’s own resources to support healing from the inside out.

What To Expect During Treatment?

  • Adipose tissue injections are an in-office treatment
  • Fat is harvested using local anesthetic
  • Fat is processed and re-injected into the target area
  • Most patients return to normal activities within 24-28 hours
