Jennifer Sieracki

LifeStem changed my life! I had two knees I thought I would never run on again and after treatment, I am now running pain free. I’m so grateful I used a non surgical option to treat my pain. I also sent my Mom for her back and sister for her shoulder and both are pain free now. Dr. Adams and Destin were a pleasure to work with. Both extremely knowledgeable and patient in explaining how it all works I highly recommend LifeStem.

Ryan Cronsberry

Dr Amy is a life saver. Being from Canada, I was dealing with insane wait lists and never ending pain for 18 months. The doctors here couldn’t fix my nerve pain. One phone call, and a few days later, I was in Houston and haven’t had any nerve pain since! The entire teams is caring, genuine, professional and have saved my life!!!

Craig Ford

My experience at life stem regenerative medicine was amazing. I was diagnosed with severe arthritis and my lower 1234 and five vertebrae. I basically lost my ability to walk after being diagnosed. I did platelet rich plasma.(prp) and my outcome has been amazing the healing that takes place is unbelievable. I have done a total turnaround and I feel that my quality of life is back. The professionalism in this office is amazing

Elia

Stem cell therapy truly gave me my life back! Little things like going on small hikes was becoming impossible but within a few months of treatment, I no longer experience any knee pain. The procedure was surprisingly less painful than expected and recovery time was quick. I'm now able to enjoy an active lifestyle again and work on my feet daily without any pain. I am so happy with my decision and wish I would’ve done it sooner, I highly recommend Dr. Adams!

Hunter Chase

This absolutely changed my life! One month pain free in the back. No more sciatica pain! Plus the staff was extremely nice. Highly recommend!

Mellisa Hodges

Dr Pearson is one of the most compassionate and caring physicians I have ever met. She treats each of her patients with kindness and respect. She has a true passion for helping others live as close to a pain free life as they possibly can.

William Lukens

Dr. Pearson is a life saver for both my wife and I. She uses all the tools at her disposal to include cutting edge Life Stem injections. She is competent, caring, and Compassionate. He work with Life Stem enhanced quality of life.

Pierce Rough

Had years of pain from multiple dislocations in my shoulder. Being in my 20s I did not want to go under the knife. Decided to try stem cells. After treatment I have no pain and full mobility again! Couldn’t ask for better care from these ladies!

Jordan Morrow

Cannot recommend LifeStem enough! Dr. Pearson and Destin are professional, compassionate, kind, full of integrity, and they genuinely care about meeting the needs of each of their patients. Do not hesitate to go see them!

Yoselin Reyes

After 10 years of failed treatments, my father has finally found lasting relief thanks to LifeStem Regenerative Medicine! He recently underwent PRP therapy for his lower back, and he keeps telling our family how happy and incredibly grateful he is. Dr. Adams has made a massive, positive impact on his quality of life. I also want to give a special thank you to Ms. Elsa, who translated everything from English to Spanish. Since Spanish is my father's primary language, her help provided an extra layer of reassurance and comfort that meant the world to us. Thank you, LifeStem, for your incredible care and compassion!

Isaac Golf

Great experience from start to finish! Everyone is friendly and professional and the results exceeded expectations. Would recommend to anyone.

Mimi Pooley

After meeting with an orthopedic doctor, and being told I needed a hip replacement, an acquaintance shared her personal experience of stem cell treatment on her knees and being very pleased with the outcome. So, I booked my appointment with Dr. Adam’s. We discussed the process and the potential results. My BMC treatment was preformed on July 28th, with a follow up PRP treatment on August 11th. August 16th was the first time in 3 years that I was able to walk 1.38 miles without pain. The few minutes of feeling uncomfortable during the treatment, and for several hours after, in my opinion is well worth not having to go through a hip replacement surgery. Fair warning, my pain tolerance as well as my recovery time is different than yours. Doctor Adam’s, and her staff , are knowledgeable, friendly and genuine. Hopefully I won’t have to do my other hip, but if I do, I know who to call first!

J H

The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Dr. Adams thoroughly explained the procedure and everything to expect. I am two weeks out from having my procedure done and I am already feeling relief from my back pain. I highly recommend Lifestem.

Brian Brewer

Fantastic group. Dr. Adams and her team are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. If you are just considering alternative solutions for joint pain and want to know more, don't hesitate to meet with them. I learned alot during my first consultation, and was not rushed or pressured into a decision. It was the most enjoyable Doctor's visit I've had in years, and the procedure I decided on gave me noticeable relief.

Harrison Croxford

Amazing experience with exceptional results. Both Dr. Adams and the PA, Destin were so informative and walked me through the whole process start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with my decision. If you are hesitating, make the move to see them as they are very honest and I have nothing but positive things to say about them. Thank you for giving me my active life back.

Joe Lee

I have a deteriorated meniscus that was treated with arthroscopic surgeries and steroid shots for years to treat inflammation. I hit bone on bone last December and was looking at a left knee replacement. I looked into PRP and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Adams. After my consultation, I decided to proceed with Stem Cell Therapy. I'm on my third month after therapy, and I rarely have any pain in my knee now. I recommend this procedure for anyone who wants an alternative to knee replacement.

Robert Park

LifeStem is an amazing place, that has a knowledgeable staff and provide solutions that helped my pain in a way that is truly miraculous. I highly recommend Dr. Adams and her team.

Jenny Watford

After a year of experiencing increasing knee pain I was prepared to have a total knee replacement. I decided instead to try stem cell treatment. I had PRP/stem cell treatment at Lifestem several months ago. My results have been phenomenal. I am pain free and able to move easily. My treatment at Lifestem was truly life changing.

Lonnie VanTyle

I recently received treatment for my low back, and the results have truly exceeded my expectations. I went from daily pain in my back/down my leg (sciatica) and limited movement to being able to do so many things I couldn’t do before. My mobility has completely improved, my pain is no longer existent and I feel like I have my life back. I am so grateful for this treatment and highly recommend it.

Chelsey Lynn

I have been dealing with herinatied discs for a few years. I've had three steriod back injections. We decided to try Lifestem when the last steriod injection wore off and I had trouble walking. Its been four weeks since I had Prp with platelet lysate and I have noticed a lot of improvement. I feel like it has helped tremendously. Dr. Amy Adam's is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything.

nat0613

So glad I took the time to investigate Lifestem Regenerstive Medicine and Dr. Adams. Money well spent to avoid a knee replacement. Could not be more pleased.

Frank Chapman

I have had the PRP procedure twice. The first time was for tennis elbow which was extremely painful, but the treatment worked so well I came back for a herniated disc from falling off a horse. The tennis elbow is almost 100 percent and really not noticeable any longer. I am extremely pleased and today I received a PRP treatment for my herniated disc. I would recommend these treatments as nothing else helped and I wanted to avoid drugs such as steroid shots. Contact me if you have any questions. Back in the saddle again!

Gigi Myung

After 15+ years of not being able to run or ride my bike, I chose to explore regenerative medicine versus surgery. Brought my MRI of lumbar and right knee to Dr Adams, who determines that surgery was not the 1st option, she recommended PRP in my lumbar and stem cells in my knee would resolve my issues. Of course I asked "how many treatments?" She said, "one each." Since we were using my own blood and cells, and the cost was less than my deductible, I went for it. Five months later, I'm just jogging without pain!

Judith Oyen

Platelet lysate therapy was the exact alternative to continued use of pain medication or the possibility of cervical surgery. It is helping to reduce the number and severity of migraines I experience. Dr. Adams provided the science and readily answered all questions. She is approachable and very kind. Dr. Adams’ NP checked on me the days after each injection day. For a natural, regenerative alternative to meds and surgery, I am very pleased.

Mark Peasley

Dr Amy and her team are 1st rate. They are consummate professionals from initial meeting, procedures and follow up. Thank you!

Zachary Cayou

So happy I was referred to this clinic. Destin and Dr Adams are the absolute best! I was a little skeptical at first, but their care and the results speak for themselves! Highly recommend!

Reese Ford

I am a 21 year old who has been dreading treatment on my knees after surgeries on both my hips. I found LifeStem and I can honestly say it has changed my life. I had stem cells into both knees and can now live a normal life again without pain. Every orthopedic doctor was telling me I needed surgery on my knees and I took the chance to do stem cells and can say it has been one of the best decisions. Both Dr. Adams and the PA, Destin, were amazing. Thank you for getting me back to a pain-free life.

Erika Gonzalez

We absolutely recommend this place to anyone! Dr. Amy and PA Destin are the BEST!! They took great care of my mother. She had work done on both knees. She was in so much pain and she is already feeling better 2 weeks after her treatment. We are thankful I found this place.

Ryan Erxleben

I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Pearson and Destin for my knee, and am coming back to get my back treated as well. Dr. Pearson has been in the space for almost 3 decades, and her extensive knowledge and experience is beyond impressive. Destin has a very practical approach to medicine, which a guy like me appreciates so much. I feel confident every time I talk/get treated by them because they are real people that give you real results and expectations! They are about fixing your issue, not just putting a band aid on it. Can’t wait to see you guys again!

Sandy Odom

Dr Amy Pearson is an excellent physician. She is intelligent and well-versed in her expertise as she is a continued learner of medicine. As a healthcare professional myself, I have never met anyone more compassionate, empathetic and caring. She is devoted to her patients as she is to her staff. She is a Christian who truly loves God and that love does manifest in the way she treat her staff and patients. I know firsthand how competent, passionate, and trustworthy she is. I could not recommend her enough. If you are in need of regenerative therapy/care , look no further. You are in Blessed hands!!

Dana Reeves

Dr. Pearson is the best!! She has the highest ethics and will always tell you the truth about your options…what will and won’t work. One of the most caring doctors I’ve ever known.

FAQs

Choosing a treatment option can come with a lot of questions. From PRP and BMAC to recovery timelines and candidacy, our team is here to help you better understand your options. Explore answers to some of the most common questions patients ask before beginning regenerative treatment.

What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine uses the body's natural healing processes to support the repair of damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve function. Treatments may include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC).

What conditions can regenerative medicine help treat?

Regenerative treatments may be used for joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, sports injuries, and certain spine-related conditions. Treatment recommendations vary based on each patient's diagnosis and goals.

What is BMAC?

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is created by collecting bone marrow (the body’s cell factory) and concentrating the cellular components before treatment. There are many important types of cells, including mesenchymal stem cells, and proteins in BMAC that can support the body’s natural healing process.

What is PRP therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses concentrated platelets that contain growth
factors and other important proteins from your own blood that are instrumental in
initiating the body’s natural healing process. A precise injection of these concentrated platelets supports more rapid healing.

Am I a candidate for regenerative treatment?

Candidates often include patients experiencing orthopedic or spine problems who are looking for non-surgical options. Because regenerative medical treatments rely on your body’s natural systems to support the healing process, the best way to determine candidacy is a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Adams, during which we will perform a thorough evaluation, including a review of your imaging and assessment of your
overall health with a goal of optimizing the chances of a successful regenerative
medicine treatment.

How long does a treatment appointment take?

Most regenerative procedures can be completed in the office and generally take one to two hours, depending on the specific treatment.

When can I return to normal activities?

Many patients return to daily activities shortly after treatment, although activity restrictions may be recommended during the healing process. Recovery recommendations vary by condition and treatment area.

How do I know if regenerative medicine is right for me?

The first step is a consultation and evaluation. Our commitment to you: No sales pitch. Just clarity. Our goal is to help you understand your condition, explain all of your treatment options, answer your questions, and give you the information you need to make the decision that's right for you.
