Knee OA Grades 1–3: Candidacy, Dosing & Expected Outcomes
If you’re living with early to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA), you’re not alone. At Cellular Regeneration Clinic (CRC), we specialize in advanced knee osteoarthritis stem cell therapy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Our treatments aim to reduce pain, restore mobility, and delay or avoid surgery.
✅ Who Is a Candidate for Knee Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is ideal for individuals diagnosed with Grade 1 to Grade 3 knee osteoarthritis—conditions where cartilage loss and inflammation exist but there is still some joint space preserved.
- ✅ Mild to moderate cartilage thinning
- ✅ Pain with movement or stiffness
- ✅ Failed conservative care (physical therapy, NSAIDs)
- ✅ Trying to avoid knee replacement surgery
Patients with Grade 4 (bone-on-bone) may still benefit but require individual assessment. Visit our clinic page to learn more about our facilities and approach.
💉 Dosing & Administration: What to Expect
At CRC, intra-articular injections deliver stem cells directly into the knee joint. Our team uses ultrasound guidance for precision.
Dosing typically includes:
- 50–100 million umbilical cord-derived MSCs per knee
- Combined with 1–3 billion exosomes for enhanced effect
- Optional IV for systemic support and inflammation control

🚀 Outcomes You Can Expect
Results vary by patient, but most experience:
- ✔ Pain relief within 2–6 weeks
- ✔ Reduced inflammation
- ✔ Increased mobility and walking tolerance
- ✔ Delayed or avoided joint replacement
Our clinical team, featured on the Medical Team page, includes physicians with over 10 years of experience in regenerative medicine.
📊 Understanding the Progression of Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that worsens over time if left untreated. In Grades 1–3, inflammation, cartilage thinning, and limited joint lubrication begin to cause functional limitations. Early intervention is key.
With MSCs, our goal is to:
- ➤ Slow joint degradation
- ➤ Improve cartilage density and quality
- ➤ Enhance synovial fluid production
- ➤ Promote long-term joint health
Unlike painkillers or cortisone, which mask symptoms, stem cells aim to address the root causes of degeneration and inflammation.
🧬 The Role of Physical Therapy After Stem Cell Therapy
To maximize the benefits of stem cell therapy, our team may recommend post-treatment physical therapy. Guided exercises improve joint mechanics, build supportive muscle tissue, and prevent re-injury.
♻ Sustainable Lifestyle Changes That Support Regeneration
MSC therapy is more effective when paired with holistic lifestyle adjustments. We encourage patients to commit to:
- ✓ Anti-inflammatory diets (rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and collagen-building nutrients)
- ✓ Low-impact exercises (like swimming or cycling)
- ✓ Weight management
- ✓ Supplement protocols (glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin D)

🧵 International Patient Support
CRC is located just minutes from the U.S.–Mexico border, making travel simple and secure. Our international coordinator assists with transportation, accommodations, pre-travel screening, and post-treatment guidance.
We regularly serve patients from California, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and Canada. Many combine their treatment with a rejuvenating stay in beautiful Baja California.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Expanded)
Can I receive more than one round of injections?
Yes, follow-up rounds are often beneficial, especially if you have bilateral knee OA or additional orthopedic issues like hip degeneration or back pain.
Are the stem cells from my own body?
No. We use ethically sourced, highly potent umbilical cord-derived MSCs. These cells are more youthful and biologically active than older autologous (self-derived) cells.
What if I’ve already had a partial knee replacement?
In some cases, patients with partial replacements may still benefit. However, those with full artificial knees are not eligible for intra-articular injections. A consultation is required.
