Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a regenerative medicine used to treat osteoarthritis, as well as other injuries, to bones, joints, tendons and spinal cords. The goal of stem cell therapy in dogs is to regenerate tissue in the part of a body that has been damaged from a disease, or is losing function. It is a relatively common procedure and its use is actually increasing. Stem cell therapy is the most effective when it is done early in the disease process.

Stem cell treatment is a two step process. In the first step, fat is collected from the patient, and the stem cells are isolated by a very sophisticated and specialized laboratory procedure. 48 hours later, the stem cells are delivered for injection directly into the affected joint, affected organ, and/or intravenously.

Over 80% of dog owners report improvements after stem cell therapy, making it an effective treatment option. There are alternatives to stem cell therapy. Traditionally vets have been treating degenerative joint diseases with supplements and anti-inflammatory medication and/or surgery. Stem Cell therapy offers a viable alternative to those treatments.

"We recently traveled from Palm Springs to have our 15 y.o. pup receive specialized treatments for her arthritis from Doctor Gordon and his team at Arch Beach. We really appreciated his willingness to do the consult and procedure in the same day given our geographic challenges.In speaking with others in the reception area, we weren't the only ones who made the drive for the outstanding care here. Without exception, everyone we encountered in two visits was compassionate, gracious, and conscientious. I only wished we lived closer and this could be our full-time vet.We took note of how present Dr. Gordon is with each of his patients and their families, making it a point to check in with you, even if you're just there for a moment. Sadly, encountering folks who still really care about what they do is too rare these days; it was deeply appreciated. Thank you to the entire Arch Beach team, with love from Scout!"
