Dr. Thomas Youm is a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon who specializes in the treatment of athletic injuries and performs arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the shoulder, knee, and hip. He has a special interest in joint preservation surgery for the active patient.
Utilizes the patient's own cells, reducing the risk of rejection and promoting natural tissue repair.
Offers novel treatments for diseases and injuries by regenerating functional cells, tissues, and organs.
Provides a non-surgical alternative that naturally reduces inflammation and decreases recovery time.
Aids the body in repairing, regenerating, and restoring itself, leading to improved health and quality of life
Stem Cell Therapy offers a promising frontier for sports injuries, harnessing the body's own regenerative capabilities. By injecting stem cells into damaged areas, it promotes tissue repair and accelerates healing. This innovative treatment targets tendons, ligaments, muscles, and cartilage, potentially reducing recovery time and improving functional outcomes for athletes facing both acute and chronic sports-related injuries.
