Stem Cell Therapy
Your body already knows how to heal. Stem cell therapy simply helps it do that better and faster. From targeted joint repair and injury recovery to systemic whole-body regeneration, our advanced regenerative medicine program is designed to work with your body's own natural healing mechanisms to deliver powerful, lasting results. For women during and after menopause this is especially significant as declining hormones directly accelerate wear on bone and joint health.

MSCs are the body's natural repair cells. Found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cord tissue, they are capable of regenerating bone, cartilage, and fat cells precisely where your body needs them most.
At Total T Clinic, we use a specialized placental tissue matrix allograft. This concentrated blend of MSCs, growth factors, collagen, and biologic components is designed to deliver targeted, effective tissue repair with the highest standard of clinical precision.
Clinically compliant, high-concentration viable cells
Rigorous donor screening and testing
FDA-registered processing facility
50+ years of combined clinical experience

Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses your own blood, concentrated to contain 5 to 10 times more platelets than normal, to deliver the growth factors your body needs to heal faster and more effectively. The process is straightforward. A small amount of blood is drawn, spun through a centrifugation process to concentrate the platelets, and injected precisely into the painful joint or area. Fast, minimally invasive, and powered entirely by your own biology.
-
The procedure is simple. Through an outpatient needle aspiration performed under local anesthetic and light sedation, blood and tissue are harvested from the bone marrow space of the hip and concentrated into a powerful injectable. BMC delivers everything PRP offers and then some. The addition of pluripotent stem-like cells amplifies your body's natural regenerative response for even greater healing potential than PRP alone.
-
IV Mesenchymal Stem Cell therapy takes regenerative medicine beyond the joint and into your entire body. Rather than targeting a specific area of damage, IV delivery allows a concentrated infusion of MSCs to circulate systemically, reaching tissues, organs, and cells throughout your body simultaneously. For women this is particularly powerful as systemic MSC delivery supports hormonal balance, reduces whole-body inflammation, promotes healthy aging at the cellular level, and enhances immune function in ways that targeted treatments alone cannot achieve. The same clinically compliant, rigorously tested MSCs used in our targeted treatments are delivered intravenously under full medical supervision for a safe, comfortable, and profoundly restorative experience.

Here’s What To Expect
-
Your journey begins with a comprehensive one-on-one evaluation with our experienced medical team. We take the time to truly understand your symptoms, review your medical history, and listen to your goals, whether that's finding relief from chronic joint pain, avoiding surgery, or reclaiming the freedom to move and live fully again. We also consider how hormonal changes may be contributing to your condition, ensuring we see the complete picture before making any recommendations. From there, we determine the right regenerative therapy for your specific needs. PRP, MSC, and BMAC each offer distinct advantages and our team will guide you toward the option best suited to your body and your goals. No pressure. No guesswork. Just a clear, compassionate path forward.

No two women experience joint pain the same way and no two treatment plans at Total T Clinic are the same either. Based on your consultation and evaluation, our providers design a customized regenerative therapy plan built around your specific condition, hormonal health, and recovery goals. Whether your plan calls for PRP, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, BMAC, IV Stem Cell Therapy, or a powerful combination approach, every decision is made with one unwavering goal in mind. Delivering the most effective, lasting relief possible for your body and your life.
-
All regenerative treatments at Total T Clinic are performed in-office and are minimally invasive. There are no hospital stays, no general anesthesia, and no lengthy recovery periods. Here's what each procedure involves:
PRP — A small sample of your blood is drawn, concentrated, and precisely injected into the targeted area
BMAC — Bone marrow is collected from the hip under local anesthetic and light sedation, concentrated, and re-injected for powerful regenerative healing
MSC — Specially prepared biologic material is carefully and precisely administered to the treatment site
IV MSC — A concentrated infusion of Mesenchymal Stem Cells delivered intravenously under full medical supervision, allowing regenerative cells to reach your entire body simultaneously for a comprehensive whole-body regenerative response
No hospital stays. No general anesthesia. Just a streamlined, in-office procedure with our team focused on your comfort, confidence, and care from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
-
Regenerative therapy is designed to work with your body, which means results build gradually and meaningfully over time. Most women return to normal activity shortly after their procedure with minimal downtime. Improvement typically begins within 4 to 6 weeks, with continued healing and tissue regeneration progressing over 3 to 6 months. Every body responds differently and every recovery timeline is uniquely your own. Our team is with you every step of the way, providing personalized follow-up care, monitoring your progress, and adjusting your plan as needed to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.

Stem cell therapy for women at Total T Clinic is a regenerative treatment that uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the body's natural repair cells, to help heal damaged tissue and support whole-body health. MSCs are found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cord tissue and can regenerate bone, cartilage, and fat cells precisely where your body needs them most. At our San Diego clinic, we use a specialized placental tissue matrix allograft, a concentrated blend of MSCs, growth factors, collagen, and biologic components designed for targeted, effective tissue repair.

While our targeted regenerative treatments deliver MSCs directly to a specific joint or area of damage, IV Mesenchymal Stem Cell therapy takes a whole-body approach. A concentrated infusion of MSCs is delivered intravenously, allowing regenerative cells to circulate systemically and reach tissues, organs, and cells throughout your entire body simultaneously. For women this is particularly meaningful as systemic MSC delivery supports hormonal balance, reduces whole-body inflammation, and promotes healthy aging at the cellular level in ways that targeted treatments alone cannot achieve. Like all regenerative treatments at Total T Clinic, IV MSC therapy is performed under full medical supervision using clinically compliant, rigorously tested biologic materials.
