Torn Meniscus Treatment
A non-invasive, naturally regenerative torn meniscus treatment without surgery.
We have 60 Years of Combined Experience & Over 30,000 Procedures Performed
What Causes Torn Meniscus?
Surrounding your kneecap and shin bone is a rubbery cartilage called the meniscus, which acts as both a stabilizer and shock absorber to the knee. The torn meniscus is when the knee is forcefully twisted like from a sports injury. While, thankfully, not a dislocation of the knee, it does occur when pressure is applied to the knee (like shifting your body weight to that side) coupled with a vigorous twist.
Symptoms
Your knee is essentially a hinge joint, so when that joint becomes locked, it is a telltale sign that something is wrong. Other symptoms of a torn meniscus can include swelling, pain in a specific area (or multiple areas) throughout the knee joint, abnormal popping and sudden difficulty walking or moving the knee as you normally would.
Get a non-invasive treatment
For the different types of elbow pain, you have about the same number of options for a treatment, but not all of them will actually work. For instance, surgery was shown to be as ineffective as placebo while steroids and physical therapy were not much better. As an alternative, stem cell and platelet therapies target the problem areas the most accurately and are able to fully regenerate your damaged cells without invasive surgery.
Stem Cell Therapy Explained
As is the case with a number of injuries, stem cell injections are one of the most universally praised treatments for a torn meniscus. Not every tear is able to heal on its own, and not every tear can be surgically repaired, so a procedure that repairs the meniscus naturally is your best option. With nearly 30 years of using the procedure to treat professional athletes, injections of the body’s natural stem cells have proven to be the most accurate, effective and non-invasive solution for torn or damaged meniscus tissue through the process of stem cell therapy.
How Does It Work?
- Stem Cell Extraction
- Concentration and Activation
- Stem Cells Transplanted to Problem Area
- The Cells Reduce Pain
PRP Therapy Explained
PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. These injections are an in-office procedure, and the entire procedure from start to finish takes about 30 minutes.
How Does It Work?
- Take a Blood Sample
- Separate Blood into Various Components
- Removes Platelets and Stem Cells
- Platelets Injected into Injured Area
Doctor Examination + Tests
While the condition commonly renders the knee joints immobile, a simple physical examination will determine the problem areas more precisely and directly. Your doctor will likely ask you to curl your toes to test how far the knee can still move as well as rotating your leg as you hold it straight forward, examining both the lateral and the medial meniscus.
Preparing for your appointment
After the physical examination with your doctor for your tailored treatment, you can expect to have the procedure fully finished as early as the same day. Making this procedure as smooth and effective as possible requires nothing more than drinking water (64 ounces a day for at least 2 days), stopping blood thinners and anti-inflammatory meds the week before and a light, natural sedative taken only once, shortly before your procedure.
The procedure itself avoids pain and can be done in less than a hour, resulting in a number of patients literally walking out of the operating room once it is finished.
Rehabilitation
The recovery is just as easy as the procedure itself while only being a few weeks longer. You could actually be able to walk back into your job after about a day, but it is advised not to engage in strenuous exercise until about 5 weeks (on average) after the procedure.

What REAL People Are Saying About Us Online
Never followed up with my son after his procedure to answer his questions or follow up with additional treatment. They also have a sign in their office that states you will receive a free Starbucks card for a good review.
Was helped at the desk by Eden, they were very nice and help me understand the paper work. Doctors Justin DeAndrea was very nice, explained my condition well, and Nicole Gilberts helped work out paperwork at the end, very nice, and a great help
Very attentive and nice. I'm definitely coming back for my son and also for myself. Nice clean office and really nice staff as well. Check them out if you have any pain
Eden was so helpful at the front desk. I love Cellaxys for curing my husband’s back pain! Thank you so much Dr. Mohajer
Everyone was super nice! Eden, Hailey, Ashley, Nicole ands Dr. De Andrea
I'm not going to this clinic because they made me sit through paperwork and two separate appointments along with an MRI on my meager days off just to tell me it was going to cost $10,000. This is not a medical center, it's an alacart boutique day spa for the crippled affluent and desperate. I'm two of those things, thank you for wasting my time.
Nicole, and Dr. Justin were very informative today. Taught me a lot showing a lot of patience while Iv asked questions even some questions I brought up more than once. First time coming to this office the parking lot was clan; the office inside was clean and quiet. I didn’t have to wait to long to be seen. I’m on schedule to come back in one month, can’t wait for the next step. Looking forward to it.
I dont see where anyone has said there was and absolute improvement of their condition and that its working , only that staff is friendly
A fantastic office! The office staff is super friendly and welcoming. They explain everything in detail and are very helpful. Dr. DeAndrea took his time with me and went over all the information and answered all my questions. Chas and Ashely were incredible and took great time with me. Great office!
I’ve had a couple of appointments so far in an effort to get stem cell therapy and the office and Dr have been very accommodating. He was transparent that it would be a treatment to improve quality of life.
I appreciate the professional and caring staffs. Great people with life changing information. Justin, Ashley and Nicole

Tracie is awesome! Very thorough on our first visit. The entire staff was super friendly!
I saw them for PRP for my ankle and Dr Otten was great, the other provider who consulted for a stem cell treatment was dismissive, rude and implied that I’m fat, he appeared shocked that I was not on heart medicine or statins at age 40. I wear medium clothes, I have perfect blood pressure, I’ve not felt gaslit by a provider in a long time, but that experience was one for the record booksWell, for the first time in my life, I had a major joint injury: a grade 2 sprain of my anterior talofibular (ankle ligament)Let me tell you, I cannot believe the results to this day, I did PRP with HGH into the most injured part of my ankle, 4 total injection sites, and within that 48 hours of hopping around I became pain-free and stable on my ankle, no issues since
Had my first consultation with doctor DeAndrea he was amazing took his time did a full evaluation and explained everything in details to me. All the staff is so nice especially Ashley and Chas is who I got a chance to meet and work with! Highly recommend this place I am here for PRP injection will decidedly recommend to friends and family!
I would definitely recommend cellaxys it helped myself emensly also chaz and Ashley are the best
Tracie is very profecional and nice ladyDr Justin d Andrea supper nice and explained everything to my cuestions thank you so much
The possibility of avoiding knee surgery is a huge advantage to having this procedure. The staff was amazing especially Tracie.
Tracie Austin Was very informative, lovely accent? Can't wait to see again.
Absolutely love the staff absolutely amazing and treatment has been life changing.
Loved talking to Tracie! She explains treatment very well and doctor Andrea is amazing!!
Ale was not able to schedule me appointment with the doctor very bad communication and poor people skills.
Chas was amazing..she was so helpful and kind…the place is very clean..
Great experience from the start. Friendly and competent staff. The doctor put me at ease and I felt he understood and was sympathetic to my problem. I left feeling thoroughly informed and that I’m in great hands with the process.
Cellaxys is awesome!!Great customer service! The Doctors and nurses are super attentive to your needs! They take time to make sure you understand the process and everything that will take place!! So excited for the full results. I have already felt great relief in my knees! I am able to sleep pain free!!Thank you!!!
Never felt more comfortable and cared for. Soon as I walk in the door I’m greeting with a big smile and warm welcome by Chas and that gives me great satisfaction mentally that this is the place where I need to be and that I will be cared for in the best way. They are very through with everything you need to know And they are really helpful in reminding you of upcoming appointments which is really helpful for me because of my busy schedule. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family.
This was the best experience I ever had I would highly recommend such nice and friendly staff. My mom is in great hands being here.
Very Beautiful Atmosphäre. The staff and Dr is very Informative and patient. They were able to see me quick and urgent.
Came to Cellaxy to find out if I would be able to get my knees done. The entire time I was there was a very pleasant experience. I found out that how the procedure was going to take. Answered all the questions that I needed. Would highly recommend getting the procedure done.
Cellaxys is a great facility, my father has been treated here with 5 star service. The Cellaxys office has given my father the ability to walk easier and remove his shoulder pain that has been bothering him for years. Did i mention, my father is 87 years old.
It’s been about 6 months of seeing multiple Dr’s with no relief for my pain. Seeing a Dr today that said “I know exactly what’s going on here” who has given me hope that healing is possible rather than just symptom management, is really amazing. Thank you Dr. Bady! Staff were all very professional and the environment is relaxing.
It was an amazing experience at this office. From the Moment I walked in, I was greeted as if we knew each other for ever , like Family! Chas at the front desk was full great energy and so vibrant, and extremely friendly! Dr. Bady was also amazing and made us feel very comfortable, took his time, & very explanatory. This place really cares about you as a human being!!! 10 out of 10 for me! Highly recommend;
The staff was very pleasant front desk receptionist Ms Chas Xtra friendly. Dr. Bady very nice and informative I haven't started treatment yet but I will soon
I would recommend Cellaxys and their Doctors to anyone dealing with chronic pain. The staff is thorough, pleasant, thoughtful and very knowledgable. I always have a great experience whenever I am there for my appointment. They have helped me with my chronic pain over the years and they actually listen.
I have had back pain for decades. I have been able to reduce it to with Ibuprofen, Tylenol, TENS unit, applying ice, voltaren gel, biofreeze, and lidocaine patches - which has allowed me to function during the day. I have also done physical therapy, chiropractic care, trigger point injections, dry needling, massage and cupping - which have also helped tremendously.But in the end, the disc degeneration, disc bulges, and facet arthritis are still there and need extra treatment. I finally decided to proceed with PRP injected into my lumbar spine and I can't even describe how happy I am with the results!! I did not have any sedation during the procedure, had about 10-15 minutes of "pressure" in my low back after the procedure, and maybe a little bit of discomfort that evening. But I have not had any back back since the morning after and am absolutely amazed at how much my activities and quality of life improved!!I respect Dr Mohajer, Dr Bady, and Dr Justin very much and am very appreciative of their knowledge and skills. Chastity, the front desk lady, is always so pleasant and helpful. Ashley, the MA, is also very skilled and always very pleasant. I will definitely be continuing care with Cell Axys!
Excellent job. I am now able to do things I couldn't prior to the procedure. Dr. Brady and Dr. Mohajer are both amazing. They absolutely know what they are doing.
The PRP has been amazing to help mobility in my neck! My husband got stem cells, and is doing so much better!!!
Very professional in every aspect of care! The receptionist were so effective and courteous. Thank you for everything!
I had adipose stem cell last year. PRP after 3 months. Came back to follow up this year. I am pain free for a year. No swelling any longer since the procedure. Have not taken Ibuprofen for my knee. Been hiking again between 3-7 miles with no swelling afterwards. Wanted to get PRP again today, thinking it will make it better than what I already have. Already on the table, Dr Mohajer, send me home. He said, No need. You don’t have pain, then No need for the procedure. This Clinic is full of Honesty. Dr Padi did the same thing. I will definitely come back, not even for my knee but face prp.
I was having some issues with a shoulder joint and coming to Cellaxys has been a fantastic experience. We had a minor confusion at the beginning, but everything since that initial visit has been absolutely smooth sailing. Highest possible recommendation! Professionalism, kindness, efficiency. A+.
Very beautiful center state of the art, staff really warm and friendly, stem cell procedure offered for my arthritic knee. Costly procedure payment plan offered.
I was referred to doctor Bady by a friend and got a free consultation. My experience was wonderful. The office is clean , staffs are warm and kind and welcoming. Dr came in on time and he listened to everything I wanted to say and ask him. He told me my options and all the pros and cons on each case . I need to get an MRI so he can determine which treatment is the best for me. I really loved it here . Did I mentioned the staff are so helpful? 😉 I will recommend this office and Dr Bady to everyone who can benefit from him .
How did I not hear about this place sooner?!?! Staff and providers are friendly and helpful. Pain in the right knee has improved tremendously.
Amazing doctors and great staff. They provide great care for their patients and very driven to get the best results possible as far as pain relief. I highly recommend cellaxys to whoever is looking to actually heal their joints and spine.
I went to Cellaxys for my knee pain. Doctor Bady is amazing. He extracted the fluid in my knee and injected with PRP which gave me a lot of relief. He then sent me for an MRI and I'm going back for stem cell procedure. Everyone at this office is professional and very helpful. They go out of their way to truly help the patients which is not easy to find in Vegas.
I've dealt with shoulder pain for years but refused to do shoulder surgery. Tried everything from chiropractor to physical therapy but nothing helped until I came across Cellaxys. They did a stem cell procedure on my shoulders and my pain is GONE! Only a few short weeks and my pain went down to 0. I'm so happy with my results and recommend cellaxys to everyone who's looking for an alternative to surgery.
Im not finished with my treatnent yet,Positive that by the end, i won't need surgery!
Dr. Bady is excellent! So knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He is so understanding and takes time to listen to concerns and answer all my questions. Also, Thank you so much to Ashley, Parisa, and front office staff who are always so welcoming and kind. I had PRP injections a few months ago and my knees feel great! I have been able to travel, go for daily walks and even ride my bike. I am so grateful to you all for helping me. I highly recommend Cellaxys!
amazing staff!! Dr. Bady and Dr. Mohajer are so compassionate and takes their time with you. I also loved how clean and neat the office was.
The staff and Dr. Mohajer were great ! Everyone was very friendly and I got so much information.
Great office. Dr. Mohajer is fantastic. My procedure took away my pain and has restored my ability to be as active as I need and want to be. I cannot imagine life without getting his help!
The staff and the doctor was very friendly and professional. I was seen quickly and efficently. THE OFFICE WAS SUPER NICE AND COMFORTABLE. THEY ALSO HAD GREST COFFEE AND GOOD WATER.
I definitely recommend Cellaxys for knee issues - their team is first class, doctors are excellent and very very knowledgeable. I Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
I've learned a lot and I find it interesting and the staff and the doctor were helpful!
I had a great experience. The doctor is very informative about everything the was being done. Have had a great inprovement overall. Would recomend to anyone with knee problems well worth it
Dr. Bady was very knowledgeable and gave me several options to treat both my cervical spine issues as well as my lumbar spine. I would highly recommend their office.
Great experience! Dr. Bady took good care of my knee and explained everything and answered all my questions. The front office follows through and is very attentive. I definitely will return as needed and highly recommend Cellaxys.
I love, love, LOVE the staff and their compassion and the doctors and the treatments but more than that, I LOVE the pain relief. I'm so glad I found this office. I'm so overjoyed that I and finally feeling back to normal. I highly, truly and totally, recommend this facility and its staff. I can't say enough about how great I feel after I leave their office! Thank you CELLAXYS, Thank You so much!!!!! I'll be back for more PRP and I'll have my mom come in when she's done with her surgery in L.A.
I love the alternative medical treatment, the team was knowledgeable, kind and expressed true concern.
Caring and kind. Surgery was over quickly and I am recovering nicely. Too soon to tell how much improvement I will get, but improvement was noticed quickly.
Love this office! They did a great job on my husband’s back. The staff and doctors is always professional and caring!
Had five knee operations. Surgeons just kept cutting torn meniscus, grinding arthritis. Knee hurt all the time, misery. Saw ad about Stem Cell from Cellaxys. Took my MRIs into Dr. Otten. I’m 65 and been active all my life. My knee was making it unable to do anything. Dr. Otten said I was a perfect candidate for stem cell. I was skeptical, but knee replacement only thing left. Had Stem Cell procedure done at end of October 2021. Had major swelling which isn’t always normal. Gradually my knee started feeling better and better. Range of motion improved. Today is Jan 6, 2022. Just walked 3.5 miles. Pain FREE! Have a booster PRP shot coming up which is included in the price. Dr. Otten returned several calls when I was having swelling, unheard of from other Doctors. Stem Cell isn’t covered by insurance, but, it’s absolutely amazing. A big Thumbs up to Dr. Otten and Staff. Best money I’ve ever spent.
I was greeted warmly the moment I entered. Doctor Otten is charming and very thorough in explaining the procedure. Carlos explained the finances involved very carefully and is most courteous, professional and patient. I have confidence in CELLAXYS and this will be the first time in my life I eagerly await having a medical procedure done!
Dr. Otten is the best!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My wife had several procedures done on her knees and back from a traumatic fall and with the help from Dr. Otten and Biologics…she has benefitted greatly from the treatments. Because of her recovery and the incredible care Dr. Otten gave her…after I tore my Achilles Tendon I knew Dr. Otten was the phone call I needed to make. Although I live in Florida now, it was worth the travel back to Las Vegas for treatment with Dr. Otten at Cellaxys. The care is unparalleled. I am still in the recovery process but can attest to the confidence that the biologic therapy is helping with my healing. Dr. Otten is the most caring, thoughtful and empathic doctor that has you and your recovery as a priority. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Dr. Mohajer answered all my questions and concerns. No sales pitch or unrealistic promises. Just the facts when it comes to the treatment, science, and what to expect! He is a caring man that wants to help people get rid of their pain.Steve
The entire staff from the second I walked in, was warm and friendly and caring. No waiting, imagine that! I was escorted into a room where the doctor had already been reviewing my x-rays and had them up to share with me. No secrets here. The doctor himself sat down with me immediately and listened to my history and my pain and then discussed my X-rays and showed me how he could help. He explained the three types of stem cell Therapies and let me choose what I wanted and then he explained to me the process from the moment I would walk in until the moment I would leave Plus he was very candid on my recovery time and what I could and could not do. I will have a two-week follow-up and then a booster in 3 months. I feel like everyone there is my friend.
Grateful to have found the team at Cellaxys. Office runs very efficiently and the Dr is fantastic. Highly recommended!
The doctor was very professional, knowledgeable and took the time to explain all the different options available to me. I like that he took the TIME to know exactly what was going on with my knees. He didn't rush through the appointment, which was refreshing considering that's how it is with a lot of doctor appointments these. days.Every step of the way he explained what was going on. I've had zero issues all the way through to the end. And now a year or more after I'm still doing well. It was well worth the money. The entire team is professional.
CELLAXYS is incredible! I’ve been suffering with extreme pain for a long time and was starting to feel helpless. Then I found CELLAXYS. The treatment was extremely effective and got me pain free with 110% mobility. The staff was amazing! They were kind, courteous and helpful! Dr Matt Otten is AMAZING! He was gentle, thorough and extremely compassionate! He was honest and made me feel at ease the entire time. Going to CELLAXYS was the best decision I ever made!!!
I felt very safe and well cared for. This was not an easy procedure and I am doing far better and quicker than anyone thought I would!! Thank you for the wonderful care!!!
