Stem Cell Therapy in Michigan

Perhaps you have been intrigued about stem cell therapy. How can this natural powerhouse of healing potential help with your chronic pain? Did you know that your own stem cells can actually heal your own injuries? It’s all true. You can learn more at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, where we specialize in stem cell therapy in Michigan.

As a leader in these advancements in the local community, we see more and more patients looking outside traditional treatments like surgery and pain medicine to address their chronic orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions. They’ve become fed up with the medical community’s insistence that their painful condition can only be managed with Band-Aid fixes such as cortisone shots, medications and invasive surgery.

In order to get relief from pain and avoid addictive medications for your chronic pain or progressive disease, there is a safer, more effective and more affordable alternative. It is called stem cell therapy in Michigan. This is a virtually painless, straightforward process that involves injecting the cells right at the injury site to harness the most benefit.

Focusing on bone marrow aspiration procedures because those cells work best for the types of conditions we treat, The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine does all it can to remain in compliance with the FDA, which restricts techniques aimed at isolating fat cells. That’s why we work with bone marrow rather than fat, which also happens to have stem cells in it.

Essentially, stem cells from your own body can be used to heal your own injuries, ranging from plantar fasciitis and spinal disc herniations to osteoarthritis and tendonitis. It can even help with bursitis and rotator cuff damage. Bottom line is, there’s an alternative out there that can bring you great comfort without reliance on addictive medication and expensive surgery.

Wil H.
I was told by a orthopedic surgeon that I needed surgery for a tear in my meniscus, fortunately I found Dr. Farhat at regenerative medicine. I recieved PRP and almost immediately the pain started to go away. This is the future of medicine.
Lise S.
Dr. Robert Farhat is extremely professional, educational & most of all cares about his patients. I went there for a tear in my shoulder, had platelet replacement therapy/surgery. (I had struggled for 6 months before this, going to PT, etc. no luck,
and I did not want regular surgery.)
I am back to lifting weights as prior to my injury, hiking etc. I am a True believer in this type of medical procedure!
Judith S.
Dr. Nabity is awesome! He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!
M F.
I’ve been coming here to bring my wife since the other builder an to my surprise it was a guy there Name Joe! His badge said lead receptionist. His hospitality customer service was simply outstanding. He offer me, coffee water, and even asked me would I be interested in some services which was great because you all have services geared towards men and it’s just a little bit more comfortable talking to a guy. So Thank you Sir I hope the Doctors give u a hi five for a awesome Job
Mary B.
These doctors really listen to you, and they give you different opinions to help with pain management. My sister told me about them, one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time.
Anthony K.
Dr farhat is an amazing doctor that actually cares about his patients. The surgery team like the nurse and anesthesia Dr were phenomenal. I highly recommend this doctors office. Everyone from the front office staff to the medical assistants are so friendly and knowledgeable. 5/5
James G.
This is only a review for the first consultation. I met with Dr. Santa Anna and I was very impressed with his ability to explain my options after looking at my previous MRI's and also doing ultra sound on my shoulder. I did not feel any pressure and he gave me multiple options with his opinion on what would be the best option. I have not gotten any procedures yet and will update after I do. This is for those that might be nervous about going here for their first consultation.
Jason B.
I have been seeing Dr. Farhat for almost 5 or six years now. Was in an auto accident that has given me problems which led to five surgeries over the last six years. He is one of the only people that I believe that has helped my pain from my back and from my neck. He joined a wonderful group of doctors that I had seen before and I would have nothing but good things to say about every single one of them and highly recommend any of these physicians to anybody that needs care to get out of the ailment’s they have. You should have every bit of confidence in the care that they provide. They have put the care back in healthcare that has been so deeply diminishing with our insurance companies. See these guys first before you do any major surgery!
Burger W.
Thank you doctor Farhat! Before visiting the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. I had been dealing with a herniated disc for over a year. At times it was debilitating, and made doing most things unbearable. I am 4 weeks post stem cell and PRP injections and the difference I feel is unbelievable. My back pain is gone and I feel amazing! I am so thankful to have gone to the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. It is 100% worth it.
Derek V.
I saw Dr Nabity for an ankle issue I had been dealing with for a year. Dr Nabity was very personable and really listened to me about my issue. He then offered a solution and explained why this he suggested this particular solution. 3 months after the procedure I’m having great improvements and am well on the way to full recovery.
Charlotte D.
I’m grateful for the care and attention I received by Dr Farhat and his staff pertaining to an auto accident injury I sustained. He was extremely helpful in my recovery! I did not feel pressured into anything and everything was explained to me in detail so I knew what to expect. I received a PRP procedure on my neck and EMP. He also helped coordinate with other doctors to make sure I got the help I needed. He went above and beyond and for that I am truly grateful and highly reccomend this practice to others. 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
samie L.
I am very happy with my stem cell therapy. I can now walk without a limp most days and it's only been 12 weeks. I would and do recommend this office and procedure to everyone.
John F.
They did an excellent review of my symptoms to determine the best treatment plan for me, which resulted in a great outcome! No high pressure sales, just first class medical consultation to assist with making my own choices!
Jody D.
Dr. Farhat and his team are fantastic! After he helped me through resolving some lower back pain last year, I returned this spring for PRP in both knees. This procedure greatly improved my everyday activities: getting up from a chair, getting in and out of a car, and so much more! An added bonus is that I had been taking pain reliever once or twice a week for achey knees, but I haven't needed it even once since. A total win!
Carol F.
I had been suffering with a lumbar herniated disc for two years and did not want pain injections when I saw Dr. Nabity. After reviewing my MRI he told me I would be a candidate for stem cell injections. He explained everything and I had the procedure. It has been 3 months and my pain has reduced and my mobility has increased. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabity and MCRM.
Teresa R.
I highly recommend this clinic! I'm Canadian, and went there for prolotherapy injections for tailbone pain and knee hypermobility. Doctor Santa Ana was thorough, heard me out and even adjusted his treatment plan to target a particular ligament, as I requested. I have found the treatment very helpful and my pain is much much improved. Dr. Santa Ana went above and beyond . Thank you so much!
Trisha W.
It has been 3 months since I had my bone marrow/PRF & PRP treatments. I had my left knee, both hips and L-3,4,5 transplant-injections. Before treatment my pain level was unbearable. I couldn’t get through a day or night without pain. I couldn’t sleep on my side (hips), my knee woke me up many times each night. I tried Physical Therapy twice, acupuncture and was told to try cortisol shots. I did not want to just have a temporary solution, if that would have helped at all. I do not have any pain in my knee now. My hips and back pain is a One to Two on the pain scale now because I now can exercise twice a day for 20-30 minutes. The procedure was not painful at all. I am thankful for the Doctors and Nurses at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. My body is only three months into this journey of healing, I will continue to heal and improve over the next three months. Many thanks Dr. SantaAna.
Sherry W.
After years of enduring excruciating pain and sleepless nights, I found relief at the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. Chronic back and shoulder discomfort had taken a toll on my well-being, leaving me fatigued and irritable. My family even nicknamed me "Shrek" due to my constant agony. However, thanks to the expert care I received at the center, I've experienced a remarkable transformation. Following treatment for my back and shoulder, I am now able to lift my arm over my head—a simple task that had eluded me for years. Today, I am no longer plagued by pain and misery, and I finally find myself living a life filled with happiness and comfort. (from Tom Lints)
Kris P.
I was having serious SI joint flares for a few months and was having a hard time working because of the pain and inability to walk very well. I then started physical therapy but was not able to do my exercises very well because of the pain. I heard about PRP and contacted the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. I was able to get PRP done the next week and it was a life saver! I truly thought I was never going to be the same again. All the staff and Doctor Santa Ana were super kind and helpful during the procedure. I felt better right away and have not had a flare since the procedure. I am so thankful and recommend this to anyone with severe pain!
Art D.
I was told a year ago that I would need a complete reverse shoulder replacement surgery. This was due to the arthritis, eating away at my cartilage in my rotator cuff. I elected not to have surgery, instead, I looked into stem cell injections. To my surprise I found an amazing doctor and his name is Dr Tom Nabity at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. Upon my first visit with Dr. Nabity and doing a thorough examination he gave me the impression that stem cell therapy would be a great option for me. Now, after 9 months I am 90% recovered with the possibility of getting to or close to a 100%. Dr. Nabity is a blessing to the medical industry. He is very professional, personable and thorough with every client he sees. He treats everyone just like they are family. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is suffering from joint pain of any kind.
God bless you Dr. Nabity for all you do and your determination to make this a better world!

Andrew M.
My partially torn rotator cuff didn’t respond to PT, rest, steroids or injections. Did PRP with Dr. Nabity and I’m so glad I did! I’m back playing tennis 3 days a week. Highly recommend Dr Nabity!
Leonardo Neves de F.
Michigan Center for Regen is an AWESOME place!!!! There are multiple solutions and alternatives for your issues and they always suggest the right ones!!!!!
Dr. Nabity and team do everything to help and accommodate your needs both in the professional and personal levels!
Always available to help you when you are struggling and going to those painful moments!
I recommend this place all the time and trust myself and my family to Dr Nabity’s office!!!!
Patti E.
I found Dr. Santa Ana very helpful. I had a condition that is rarely seen and he did research on his own to make sure that I would receive the proper treatment. He’s very kind and his bedside manner is very spectacular. You can tell he really cares.
Christopher N.
Great experience, first time patient. Dr. Santa Ana was a pleasure to work with. Very informative, explained diagnoses and treatment plans at length, and walked me through my treatment step by step. Front office staff were pleasant and easy to work with. Looking forward to my future treatments.
Eric G.
Dr Nabity and the team at Michigan Center for Regenerative Health helped repair my torn rotator cuff without surgery!! From consultation through followups, the team there was friendly and explained every part of the process to me. Highly recommend a consult here before getting surgery.
Ana B.
My journey was a 17-year battle to find the right help. Living with chronic pain impacts one’s entire life, including the relationship between others and one’s self. Nothing was a long-term solution after trying everything from laser therapy, chiropractic care, physical therapy, caudal epidural injections, and RfTCs (Radio Frequency Thermography).

When I couldn’t sleep, I would use the internet and social media to look for scientific advances that might achieve my goal of pain relief. One of those late-night scrolls is how I became acquainted with the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine.

Before finding MCRM and Dr. John Santa Ana and the team, I had researched the therapies they provide, but there were no clinics in Michigan up to that time. So, I was well informed and eager to give it a shot. What is the worst that can happen, that I end up in the same position, was my reasoning.

Luckily, the therapy has been highly effective. I still have some issues that I am working with others to address, but thanks to Dr. Santa Ana and the entire MCRM, I am closer than ever to fulfilling my goal of reduced pain and increased mobility.

For those experiencing similar struggles, I will let you know that it takes time for your body to get the full benefits of stem cell or platelet therapy. You will not go in, have the procedure, and be jumping rope or walking five miles the next day. It took me about 5-months to really begin seeing results (I also started stem cell wave therapy to help the healing progress). And it has only been this summer that my mobility and pain level has reached nearer to the standards I seek to achieve.

Sorry for the length, but I know how much the testimonies of others and peer-reviewed research have encouraged me to try new avenues. It has been an exhaustive journey for me. If there is anything I learn or experience that can help someone else in a similar situation, I am willing to share it in hopes that no one will have to endure some of the more horrific and disheartening parts of this journey.

To those struggling, I wish you luck and well-health.

To Everyone at MCRM, Thank you! My every success, in part, will forever be because of your kindness and willing pursuit of medical progress.
Tony F.
Dr. Nabity is awesome. My son was left with chronic knee pain after a football injury and 3 surgeries. He could not do normal daily activities without being in pain. His surgeon told him he may have to live with the pain. Not accepting that answer we had his surgeon try Cortisone and PRP injections. Neither of those worked. His surgeon said the only option left was a 4th surgery.

Reluctant to have a 4th surgery we looked for other options. We decided to give Regenerative Medicine another try. This time with Dr. Nabity and the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. After 2 PRP treatments his knee pain has improved significantly and he is able to lead a normal life once again. Thank you Dr. Nabity and staff.

Stem Cell Therapy: The Many Benefits

Stem cell therapy in Michigan is gaining momentum among patients who are tired of treatment plans that only mask the pain. Yes, there is still a place for pills, surgery and cortisone injections in traditional medicine. However, we’re offering a better way to achieve relief from pain in many cases, through stem cell therapy in Michigan that addresses the underlying cause of the problem.

This therapy can be used for symptoms related to joints and spine, all musculoskeletal injuries such as auto injuries and work-related injuries.

Stem cell treatments can also:

  • Reduce or prevent the need for unnecessary surgery and long, painful recovery times. Repair and replace diseased or damaged tissues.
  • Generate healthy cells to replace diseased ones.
  • Reduce reliance on opioid medications, which are highly addictive and feature severe withdrawal symptoms.

Our Process: At a Glance

When you visit us at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine for your consultation on stem cell therapy in Michigan, Dr. Thomas S. Nabity, Jr. will go over the process in detail. He is board-certified in physical medicine, rehabilitation and pain medicine, leading the whole team here.

When planning, set aside two hours for the visit. If you want IV sedation, we will give it to you but most people only need a local anesthetic for mild discomfort. We will:

  • Harvest your cells within our on-site lab, using a centrifuge and flow cytometer to gain the highest concentration of cells.
  • Place the stem cells in a syringe and re-introduce them into the targeted tissue.

That’s all there is to it!
