What Exactly Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are your body’s master builders. In fact, they can turn into bone, cartilage, or muscle when needed. Moreover, they release chemical signals that tell nearby cells to repair damage. For example, when we inject stem cells into an arthritic knee or aching shoulder, they may help calm inflammation and support natural tissue rebuild.
Furthermore, at Axis Medical Center in Virginia Beach, we place these cells using live imaging, so accuracy improves and discomfort drops. Because of that, there’s no general anesthesia and no overnight stay. Most importantly, most patients are back to daily life within a day or two.

Stem Cell Therapy FAQs (Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads)
How long do stem cell injections last?
Typically, many patients report relief for 6–24 months. However, some see benefits for two years or more. Results vary based on joint damage, health, and activity level.
Learn more
In general, early or moderate arthritis responds best. Because of this, some patients return for maintenance injections every few years. Ultimately, we personalize your plan after reviewing your history and imaging.
Who makes the ideal candidate for stem cell therapy?
Generally, adults in good health with mild-to-moderate joint wear are strong candidates. On the other hand, severe bone-on-bone joints, active infections, or blood cancers may disqualify you.

Therefore, we review your imaging, prior treatments, and lab work. Moreover, realistic expectations and following post-care instructions boost your chance of success.
How expensive is stem cell therapy?
Typically, single-joint plans range $4,000–$10,000. However, complex cases can be higher. We post pricing up front and offer in-house payment plans.

Because each case differs, cost depends on the number of injections, imaging, and rehab add-ons. During your consult, you’ll get a written quote—no surprises.
What is a full-body stem cell treatment?
Sometimes called a “stem cell makeover,” it mixes IV infusion with targeted joint injections. Nevertheless, it’s still under FDA review.

Therefore, we’ll explain current research so you can decide if a whole-body approach makes sense. In many cases, patients treat the most painful joint first.
Are stem cells a good thing?
Yes, they’re the only cells that can become many tissue types and signal repair. In medicine, they’re already used for certain blood disorders.

Still, orthopedic use is expanding and results vary. Consequently, a proper exam matters to set expectations.
Can stem cells cure bone-on-bone arthritis?
They may ease pain and slow wear, but once cartilage is fully gone, results are less predictable. Thus, we review your imaging first.

Sometimes, another approach—like a different injection type or a surgical consult—is better for end-stage joints. We’ll always be honest about your options.
What other diseases can stem cells help?
Currently, stem cell transplants are standard for certain blood cancers. Meanwhile, research is underway for diabetes, heart disease, and neurological conditions.

Because many therapies outside orthopedics are in clinical trials, we focus on joints, tendons, and ligaments here at Axis Medical Center.
What should I avoid after stem cell therapy?
First, skip heavy lifting, twisting, and NSAIDs for the initial four weeks. Next, during weeks 4–8, add resistance slowly under our rehab team’s guidance.

Additionally, stay hydrated, eat clean, and avoid smoking—your cells need a healthy environment. We’ll provide a custom post-care plan tailored to you.
