justsayin Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi all, does anyone know if there are any doctors in the Ajijic area that do stem cell therapy on knees? I heard there is but I don't remember who told me. Any contact info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorn Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'd also be interested in hearing about the availability, costs, and prevalence of stem cell or PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections around the area. Might still be more of a Guadalajara thing. No problems that would currently warrant them, but give my neck and shoulder about 10 years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Berca Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 There is a female doctor in West Ajijic who is doing some type of stem cell injections for 2500 or 3500 pesos each. A friend has reported a much higher energy level and a lessening of joint pain almost immediately. I do not have additional info. Sorry. Near Dental Express.

Dr.Santiago Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 We will be doing these therapies starting next month at our office in Ajijic. Not only for knees but for many other applications such as facial rejuvenation and diabetes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 BUYER BEWARE w/stem cell treatment. Do your homework, ask questions. EVERYONE is on the bandwagon and some are either not qualified or using a proven approach. This is true NOB too so this is not just a bash Mexico post. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toots2 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I received stem cell treatment to both knees from Dr Aceves last April. It was a huge disaster resulting in intense inflammation, swelling and excruciating pain that was so severe, I had to be admitted to hospital twice. From my personal experience I would strongly advise against this procedure. My knees took months to recover and are still giving me problems. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside7 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Having knee pain in both knees and 1 ankle I recently went to see Dra Justina , her office is located just west of Dental Express. She first recommend that I obtain xrays..which when ready I returned to her. We had a consultation and concluded that I was not a candidate for Stem Cells but I could possibly find improvement with Bovine/Plaques injections, at a cost of 1,000 pesos an injection. There was no charge for the consultation or pressure..or in retrospect no "Claims" for success. I elected to go for the BP treatment, receiving the "recommended" 4 injections into each knee and 3 into the ankle. Sadly for me there was no improvement and if anything a slightly worsting on the right knee after the course of treatment. Over the years I have received cortisone injections in the ankle and the improvement was immediate..but we all know the limits recommended for this treatment.
