At Lumm Medical, we address osteoarthritis (shoulder, knee, hip) as a chronic inflammatory process and an imbalance in tissue repair.
We use Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs) to modulate inflammation and guide cartilage repair, with objective monitoring (scales and imaging).
On-site laboratory and process control for WJ-MSC cultivation.
Objective monitoring (scales and imaging)
Comprehensive approach (5 Pillars: Psyche, Movement, Rest, Nutrition, Appearance)
May help postpone or avoid surgery, depending on the stage of the disease.
High-precision ultrasound guidance
Do you see yourself reflected in any of these situations?
Osteoarthritis, commonly known as “joint wear,” is often presented as an inevitable process, forcing many people to accept progressive restrictions in mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Enter a cycle of chronic pain and reduced mobility → sedentary lifestyle, frustration, and impact on daily life, passions, and work.
Chronic NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, prolonged use) with hepatic and renal risks.
“Wait for the prosthesis” as a final solution.
Invasive surgeries that do not always ensure good results and can leave the tissue vulnerable to new injuries / re-ruptures.
Viscosupplementation that does not generate structural changes in the cartilage, only hydrates.
Less mobility → the body no longer responds with the same strength or speed as before (frailty syndrome) and loss of strength and muscle mass (sarcopenia)
Increased risk of chronic non-communicable diseases (hypertension, obesity, diabetes) and neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s).
At Lumm Medical: “taking care of your knees is taking care of your brain.”
Osteoarthritis is not just “wear and tear”: it is chronic inflammation and imbalance in repair. We seek an alternative that addresses the root, repairs, and regenerates tissue to recover mobility, vitality, and quality of life.
We confirm the degree of damage, causes, and general condition.
We define if you are a candidate and rule out risks.
Realistic goals: repair/regenerate cartilage, reduce pain, improve mobility and function (daily/sports).
Mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord that modulate inflammation and direct repair (cartilage, tendons, ligaments).
We measure progress and activate regenerative rehabilitation to enhance results.
Persistent pain due to osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, shoulder, or other joints (associated comorbidities).
Stiffness and loss of mobility that affect daily life or sports, with a desire to regain function and return to activities.
People looking to improve their quality of life with a lasting solution (cell therapy acts in the medium and long term, it is not an immediate relief).
Less pain and greater mobility.
Some people feel an initial phase of relief (“honeymoon”) associated with the reduction of substance P; then the improvement is progressive in the medium and long term.
Recover function in daily and/or sports activities.
It is supported with post-treatment physiotherapy to optimize biomechanics and enhance the effectiveness of the therapy.
Better quality of life with a comprehensive approach.
We work on physical, mental, emotional, sleep, and appearance health.
Times and sessions
They depend on your diagnosis and the indicated protocol.
Not immediate: changes in the medium and long term (from 3 months and, in many cases, 1–2 years).
Everything is agreed before starting, with rigorous selection and clear explanation of benefits and risks.
Keys: NAD/biological age, VO₂ max (ergoespirometry), neurovegetative holter, nutrigenomics, body composition, psychological/psychiatric evaluation.

In situ lab with GMP standards, Wharton’s jelly CMM, batch quality certificate. We adhere to the criteria established by the ISCT for mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).
Not every patient applies; safety first (e.g., exclusions: active cancer, decompensated chronic conditions).
Realistic expectations: medium/long-term improvement
Pre and post physiotherapy, focus on movement and biomechanical correction (preclinical support).
Before/after: pain/function scales, MRI, NAD, VO₂ max, holter, body composition. What is not measured is not managed.
Regenerative medicine is an important decision. That’s why we’ve created this essential and free guide so you can understand its true potential. Discover the science behind cell repair and how an integrated approach can transform your mobility, energy, and vitality.
Specialized content on scientific advances, clinical cases, and education in cell therapies
Regenerative medicine is not for everyone, but if you are the right person, it can completely transform your future.
In a no-obligation exploratory consultation, our team will evaluate your specific case and honestly tell you if we can help you.

What is osteoarthritis? Cartilage wear in joints (knees, hips, shoulders, etc.). Lumm Medical understands it as a chronic inflammatory process due to an imbalance in repair mechanisms (key immune system).
Chondromalacia vs osteoarthritis? Chondromalacia is loss of cartilage integrity; osteoarthritis is a more advanced stage with bone involvement.
Chronic pain in knees or other joints with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis/chondromalacia.
“Trac-trac” and joint noises may be a risk of wear.
You want to avoid or postpone surgery and are looking for a less invasive alternative.
Limitations of conventional treatments: partial relief, side effects, temporary solutions.
Integral 360: evaluation (blood/NAD, ergoespirometry, holter, nutrigenomics, body composition, psychological/psychiatric evaluation) + images (MRI/echo).
Personalized plan: diet, exercise, rest, emotional management, and physiotherapy.
Cell therapies (MSCs): migrate to the site, modulate inflammation, and orchestrate repair.
Homing: detect damage and migrate to the lesion.
Immunomodulate: reduce chronic inflammation.
Induce repair: coordinate cells such as macrophages to generate more resistant tissue.
Less invasive than surgery.
Surgery: resolves the mechanical, but does not always improve the intrinsic quality of the tissue; risk of re-injury.
Viscosupplementation: does not produce structural changes in the cartilage.
Chronic NSAIDs: relieve, but with renal/hepatic risks and without addressing the cause.
High-precision echo-guided infiltration with ultrasound guidance at the point of injury.
Immediate movement and regenerative rehabilitation: total rest is not ideal; movement activates the cells.
Lumm physiotherapists guide pain/mobility from the first moment.
Not immediate: improvements in the medium and long term (from 3 months to 1–2 years).
Objective measurement before/after: pain/function scales, images (MRI/radiographs), and blood parameters.
Evidence of improvements in severe degrees of chondromalacia; cases with cartilage reappearance have been observed after 3 years of follow-up.
Rigorous and ethical selection: pathology, commitment, and habits are evaluated. Not every patient applies.
Active cancer.
Decompensated chronic diseases (coronary, heart failure, uncontrolled pulmonary/renal, autoimmune in crisis).
Anticoagulation or coagulation disorders
Lack of evidence for specific pathologies.
active infection
Advanced stages of the disease
It is part of a journey of transformation: it requires healthy habits (diet, exercise, rest, emotional management).
Lumm accompanies with education and monitoring to maximize and sustain results.
