Stem Cell Treatment

What is Stem Cell Treatment?

OPTIMISE YOUR JOINT & MUSCLE HEALTH

Stem Cell Treatment is an interdisciplinary field where doctors and scientists work together towards the repair of diseased or damaged tissues using biological or cell based technologies. Stem Cell Treatment is a rapidly growing area of clinical research that encompasses genome engineering, nanotechnology and tissue engineering and stem cell biology.

Stem Cell Treatment at Opus focuses on bringing cutting edge research from the laboratory bench to clinical application.

Working with our partner laboratory we focus on the longevity of your joint using mesenchymal stem cells to repair the diseased or damaged tissue of osteoarthritis under the regulatory rigour of the UK’s Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The Stem Cell Treatment team works with the Performance team at Opus to make sure that any treatment you have is integrated with the best rehabilitation, bespoke to you and your injury or condition.

Our goal is your goal, whether that’s playing a particular sport, exercising in the gym or kicking a ball in the park with your kids.

Comprehensive Treatment at Opus

In the heart of London, Opus stands out for its exceptional dedication to the highest standards in Stem Cell Treatment, offering tailored treatment to meet the unique needs of each patient. We have worked for years with the regulatory bodies, GMP accredited laboratories and world recognised scientific experts and clinicians from a wide background to bring the UK the only private allogeneic cultured stem cell treatment that is certified by the regulators (HTA, MHRA).

OUR STEM CELL TREATMENT SERVICE INCLUDES:
  • Mesenchymal Stem Cell Injections: We offer allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell injections, licensed for the treatment of both traumatic and non-traumatic osteoarthritis.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP injections are available as an option to promote healing and reduce inflammation in osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Comprehensive Rehabilitation: We provide tailored rehabilitation programmes both before and after stem cell or PRP injections to optimise your body’s response to treatment and support your recovery.

At Opus, we are committed to providing evidence based Stem Cell Treatment services in London, using advanced techniques and a patient-centred approach to care.
