We harness the power of your own cells to deliver personalized medicine for life

In our state-of-the-art facilities, our scientists meticulously extract mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from your fat tissue. They then grow those stem cells to create a formidable asset.

Within 60 days, your cells multiply exponentially, reaching tens of millions, ready and waiting to support your health when you need them most. It’s a custom-tailored journey, utilizing the most personal source: your own cells.

Harnessing the power of stem cells

We’ve meticulously reviewed thousands of research studies, conducted two human trials, and published multiple papers to bring you the most scientifically supported stem cell therapy information.

Regenerative Properties

Mesenchymal Stem cells are renowned for their ability to regenerate and repair damaged tissues. In orthopedics, these cells can differentiate into necessary cell types, including bone, cartilage, and connective tissues.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Stem cells release anti-inflammatory molecules that help reduce swelling and pain in injured or degenerated areas. This is particularly beneficial in joints affected by osteoarthritis or other inflammatory conditions, where inflammation plays a key role in pain and functional limitations.

Promotion of Healing

Stem cells secrete various growth factors that promote healing of the damaged tissue. These growth factors enhance the tissue repair process by stimulating local cells to proliferate and rebuild the damaged structure, especially important in tendons and joints where healing is typically slow and can result in reduced functionality.

Why Patients Trust PSC

"As a veterinarian who has seen thousands of animals treated by stem cells, when my shoulder was stricken with a rotator cuff tear, I turned to the same technology.  Prior to treatment, I was completely debilitated with essentially no use of my left arm.  I tried pain medications and could not really even get started with physical therapy.  Two weeks after the injection of my own stem cells in my shoulder, I was able to enter real physical therapy and by 90 days, my shoulder was back to normal strength and with no pain.  My MRI showed healing of the tendon tear!  It has now been over 10 years and no recurrence of pain or injury."

Bob Harman, DVM
CEO Vetstem and PSC

"I know the potential of innovative medical therapies. That's why I chose StemReady for my own osteoarthritis treatment. Banking my cells with PSC allowed me to utilize cutting-edge science to manage my condition effectively."

Dr. Peter Hanson, MD
Voted San Diego Best Orthopedic Surgeon for 11 years

"After years of service as a fire captain, my body has been through a lot. Thanks to multiple stem cell treatments with StemReady, I've felt significant improvements. I recently had my second round of StemReady doses, and the decision to bank my cells has given me continued access to these life-enhancing treatments."

Gary W.

"As the wife of an orthopedic surgeon, I understand the importance of advanced medical treatments. Choosing StemReady from PSC for my osteoarthritis was a no-brainer. It allowed me to bank my cells and use them for treatment when I needed them most. The process was streamlined and professional, providing me not just relief but a restored sense of mobility."

Shawn H.

"As Chief Business Development Officer at Personalized Stem Cells and an avid tennis player, I turned to our own StemReady treatment to address my osteoarthritis and joint pain. Banking my stem cells not only resolved my pain but significantly improved my game, helping me reach the number one ranking at my tennis club."
