Regenerative Medicine
That Changes Lives.
Harnessing Your Body's Own Healing Power
Stem cell therapy harnesses the body’s own regenerative capacity — using autologous or donor-derived cells — to repair damaged tissue, modulate inflammation, and promote healing at the cellular level, often where conventional medicine has reached its limits.
Our partner centers in Colombia are led by physicians with advanced training in regenerative medicine, offering MSC (mesenchymal stem cell), PRP, and exosome protocols administered under strict evidence-based clinical guidelines.
A note on transparency: Regenerative medicine is an evolving field and results vary by patient and condition. novvacare exclusively partners with centers that follow evidence-based protocols and rigorous ethical standards. We encourage every patient to complete a thorough medical evaluation before committing to any protocol.
What Can Be Treated
Joint Degeneration
Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle — progressive cartilage loss and chronic inflammation addressed through targeted regenerative protocols designed to restore mobility and delay or avoid surgical intervention.
Sports Injuries
Tendon damage, ligament partial tears, meniscal injuries, and muscle strains — regenerative protocols designed to accelerate tissue healing and support a confident return to performance.
Spine & Disc Conditions
Herniated and degenerated intervertebral discs, chronic lower back pain, sciatica, and lumbar instability — approached through non-surgical disc decompression combined with targeted regenerative protocols.
Tendon & Ligament Damage
Rotator cuff injuries, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and other chronic soft-tissue conditions — supported with autologous regenerative therapies that stimulate healing at the cellular level
Cartilage Repair & Joint Preservation
Early-stage cartilage damage and chondropathies — addressed through individually designed protocols that aim to preserve joint function and delay the need for prosthetic replacement.
Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Persistent joint, tendon, or soft-tissue pain that has not responded to conventional treatment — approached with combined regenerative and integrative interventions tailored to each patient.
The Regenerative Tool Kit,
Each protocol is individually designed. Many patients benefit from a combination of therapies tailored to their specific condition.
Stem Cell Therapy
Mesenchymal stem cells sourced from bone marrow or umbilical cord — the foundation of regenerative orthopedics. Designed to support tissue repair, modulate inflammation, and promote joint healing at the cellular level.
Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF)
A highly precise autologous therapy. Your own blood is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then injected with image guidance into the target area to stimulate natural healing.
Exosome Therapy
A next-generation, cell-free regenerative approach using nano-sized extracellular vesicles to deliver targeted biological signals at the cellular level — indicated for inflammation modulation and tissue recovery.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Targeted intra-articular injections that restore joint lubrication, reduce friction, and support cartilage health — particularly indicated in early-to-moderate osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, and shoulder.
High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT)
A non-invasive deep-tissue therapy using high-energy laser to reduce inflammation, accelerate cellular healing, and relieve chronic musculoskeletal pain — without medication and without downtime.
Intervertebral Disc Decompression (IDD)
A precise, non-surgical spinal therapy that reduces pressure on damaged intervertebral discs, alleviates nerve compression, and supports rehydration of disc tissue — for herniated and degenerated discs.
Intravenous Therapy
Customized infusion protocols delivering anti-inflammatory and regenerative compounds directly into the bloodstream — used to support overall recovery, cellular hydration, and systemic tissue repair.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Pressurized oxygen sessions that accelerate cellular oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration — used to enhance recovery in combination with other regenerative protocols.
Minimally Invasive Bariatric Embolization
Beyond regenerative orthopedic therapies, our partner specialist also offers advanced image-guided, minimally invasive procedures for non-surgical weight loss and medical weight management. Designed for patients seeking an effective alternative to bariatric surgery, these personalized treatments combine cutting-edge technology with expert physician care to support safe, sustainable results.
Left Gastric Artery (LGA) Embolization
A minimally invasive, image-guided interventional radiology procedure. Embolic materials are delivered via catheter into the left gastric artery — the primary vascular supply to the gastric fundus — reducing the production of ghrelin, the body's primary appetite-stimulating hormone, and supporting sustained weight loss without surgery.
Designed for adults with overweight or obesity (BMI 25 and above) seeking a less invasive alternative to bariatric surgery. Published systematic review evidence from the Johns Hopkins group reports approximately 8% mean body weight loss (≈8.85 kg) at 12 months post-procedure, with limited complications during short-term follow-up.
The procedure is performed in a single outpatient session under local anesthesia with conscious sedation. Most patients are discharged the same day.

Stem Cell FAQs
Is stem cell therapy safe?
When administered by certified physicians following rigorous, evidence-based protocols, stem cell therapy has a well-documented safety profile. novvacare exclusively partners with centers that meet the highest ethical and clinical standards — and we are fully transparent about the evidence supporting each protocol we offer.
Is it approved by the FDA?
Colombia’s regenerative medicine sector is regulated by INVIMA, the national health authority. Some therapies remain in investigational stages, while others are fully approved. We provide complete transparency about the regulatory status and evidence level of every protocol we offer — so you can make a fully informed decision.
How many sessions do I need?
When will I notice improvement?
Regenerative medicine works at the cellular level, which means results often unfold gradually. Some patients notice meaningful changes within the first few weeks; for others, the most significant improvements emerge over 3–6 months as the regenerative process progresses. Your physician will set clear expectations based on your specific condition and protocol.
