“I wish it was like this everywhere…We got off the plane, we were immediately greeted, we were whisked through Customs. It was so easy – it was fabulous.”

What to Expect at the Stem Cell Institute’s Clinic

Our approach to stem cell treatment keeps the best research and science in mind without sacrificing our patients’ safety, comfort and experience in Panama. When you arrive at our clinic for treatment, our expert team is there to guide you through the entire experience and make you feel at home.

One of the first steps when you check-in is a physical evaluation. After your evaluation is complete, our medical team will prep you for treatment! 

At Stem Cell Institute, stem cells are administered in several ways depending on the protocol recommended by our Doctors for you, and also your actual physical condition. Each patient usually receives at least three treatment sessions during each visit to Panama for stem cell therapy. The stem cell treatments may include one or more of the following:

Intravenous (IV)

The safest and simplest method for delivering the stem cell throughout the body. Anesthesia is not required. We may use a Lidocaine topical spray to the needle prick area beforehand.

IV administration usually takes about 20 – 30 minutes.

Intramuscular (IM)

The stem cells are injected directly into the muscle. Intramuscular implantation is very safe* and does not require anesthesia.

Intra-articular (IA)

The stem cells are injected directly into the affected joint. This method is commonly used for arthritis. Intra-articular implantation is quite safe and does not require anesthesia.

Intrathecal (lumbar puncture)

Intrathecal administration is ideal for certain neurological conditions because the stem cells are injected directly into the spinal fluid past the blood-brain barrier. This enables them to reach the spinal cord and brain.

During the lumbar puncture procedure, an experienced anesthesiologist injects the stem cells into the spinal canal through the lower vertebrae under local anesthesia. Once inside the spinal fluid, the stem cells are able to gain access to the spinal cord and into the brain.

Lumbar puncture usually takes about 30 minutes.

For each method of administering stem cells, the adult stem cells themselves are processed and tested in our local laboratory, Medistem Panama.

Medistem Panama

Thanks to our laboratory, Medistem Panama, our clinic is always at the forefront of applied stem cell research. Medistem Panama is responsible for making sure we provide only the very best types of stem cells for our patients. The laboratory was founded and is still owned by our own Neil Riordan, PA, PhD.

Adult Stem Cells

Different Cell types can be extracted from most tissues in the body, including bone marrow and fat. Our founder, Dr. Neil Riordan, published the first scientific article on treating humans with adipose-derived stem cells. Over the years, his research has determined that umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells work even more successfully than adipose-derived and other types of adult stem cells. Dr. Riordan’s special cells are called Golden Cells™ and are what we exclusively use as treatment options for our patients for conditions such as multiple sclerosis and other chronic diseases. This is why the cells we use in all of our treatments come directly from human umbilical cords that have been donated following normal, healthy births.

You deserve the world’s leading adult stem cell therapy and research center. Take the first step towards the opportunity to change your life.
