Are you considering stem cell therapy for multiple joint issues and want to avoid surgery?
When you’re an active person who loves to bike, hike, ski, and stay outdoors as long as the daylight allows, joint pain can feel like a ticking clock. It’s true that, whether it’s from years of sports, wear-and-tear, or it’s from a family history of joint degeneration, many active men (and women!) who are 50+ start to feel the early signs of breakdown in their knees, hips, shoulders, or back. And joint pain is no fun.
But what if degenerated joints didn’t have to mean slowing down—or surgery?
At NW Regen, we specialize in regenerative therapies, including stem cell injections, that are helping men (and women!) extend their active years without going under the knife.
“If you’re dealing with multiple joint issues or early-stage arthritis, regenerative medicine
~ Dr. ryan wood
offers a science-backed option to heal—not just mask—what’s going on inside your body.”
What Exactly Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative injection treatment that uses your body’s own repair tools—stem cells—to help damaged tissues recover.
These cells can be harvested from your own fat tissue and re-injected into areas of injury or degeneration.
At NW Regen, we work with adipose-derived MFAT cells that are autologous (taken from your own adipose (fatty) tissue), which means your body won’t reject them.
Once injected into a painful joint, these regenerative stem cells may help:
- REDUCE inflammation
- STIMULATE tissue repair
- Encourage GROWTH of cartilage and soft tissue
- SLOW the progression of degenerative joint disease
You can learn more about adipose-derived stem cells and how the therapy works on our website, here.
“Stem cell therapy is not just symptom relief—it’s literally about healing from the inside out.“
~ DR. RYAN WOOD
Who Is Stem Cell Therapy For?
We often see patients who are:
- Former athletes with lingering injuries
- Outdoor enthusiasts feeling the wear of decades of activity
- Experiencing chronic pain in more than one joint (e.g., both knees and a shoulder)
- Hoping to avoid joint replacement surgery
- Genetically predisposed to joint degeneration
(like, parents or aunts/uncles had early arthritis or replacements)
If that sounds like you, regenerative stem cell therapy might be worth exploring.

He’ll review your history, your health goals, and explore the best treatment options for you via our personalized wellness approach.
Why Choose Regenerative Therapy Over Surgery?
Surgery can be a game-changer—but it’s not always the best first option.
Stem cell therapy offers a less invasive alternative with shorter downtime and fewer risks.
Especially for people with pain in multiple joints or who aren’t quite ready for a replacement, regenerative orthopedic care provides a middle path.
Benefits include:
- No general anesthesia or long recovery times.
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.
- Uses your own biology—no foreign materials.
- Can treat multiple joints in one visit.
“I Want to Keep Skiing with My Kids…”
