Quick answer

Can stem cells help recovery from a sports injury?

Stem cells and growth factors are applied to support the recovery of injured muscles, tendons and joints, combined with physical therapy and training. Ideally the evaluation takes place between 2 and 6 weeks after the injury, although older injuries that did not heal well are also evaluated.

Step by step

1
Initial evaluation
A consultation with Dr. Guerrero Silva. He reviews your history and tests to decide whether you are a candidate and what to aim for with treatment.
45-minute consultation, virtual or in person
2
Protocol design
A plan made for you: type of stem cells, concentration, delivery route and complementary therapies such as IV therapy, laser or magnetotherapy.
Depending on your case: IV therapy, laser or magnetotherapy
3
Treatment
Performed in facilities licensed by the Bogotá Health Department. The cells are processed in biosafety level II laboratories.
Continuous medical supervision
4
Follow-up
Medical check-ups after treatment to verify how you respond and adjust the protocol.
We don’t promise cures: we pursue real, sustainable, measurable results

How many sessions and what results?

Every case progresses differently: these are the usual milestones of follow-up. We do not promise cures; we aim for real, sustainable and measurable results.

When to start: Ideally between 2 and 6 weeks after the injury.
Physiotherapy: It is compatible and enhances the results of the regenerative treatment.
Sessions: The number is set by the medical evaluation.

First weeks
- Reduced inflammation
- Less pain
1 to 3 months
- Progressive functional improvement
- Gradual return to training, between 4 and 12 weeks depending on the injury
6 months or more
- Repaired tissue
- Return to sports performance, depending on each injury

Frequently asked questions

How soon after the injury can I start treatment?

Ideally between 2 and 6 weeks post-injury, though it also works for chronic, poorly healed injuries.

Is it compatible with physical therapy?

Completely. Physical therapy enhances the results of regenerative treatment.

Can I treat old injuries that haven’t healed well?

Yes. It’s one of the scenarios where regenerative medicine shows the best results.

Do professional athletes use it?

Yes. It’s a standard in elite sports medicine internationally.

When can I get back to training?

Progressive return between 4-12 weeks depending on the injury, coordinated with physical therapy.

Does stem cell therapy work for a torn meniscus?

Yes. Meniscus tears are one of the sports injuries we treat with regenerative medicine — stem cells are applied directly to the injured tissue to stimulate repair, often avoiding meniscus surgery depending on the severity and location of the tear.
