What Is Human Cellular Tissue Therapy?
Human Cellular Tissue Therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses biologically rich tissue derived from donated umbilical cord material—specifically Wharton’s Jelly.

This tissue is ethically collected after full-term births and processed under strict safety and quality standards in FDA-compliant tissue banks.
The material is packed with healing compounds such as:
- Growth factors
- Cytokines
- Hyaluronic acid
- Collagen
- Exosomes
- Proteins and peptides
These elements help stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and support the restoration of healthy tissue, all without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
How the Treatment Works
HCT therapy is minimally invasive and performed right here in our Austin pain management clinic.
After evaluating your condition, Dr. Richard administers the tissue injection directly into the area of concern, such as a joint, tendon, or soft tissue injury.
Once delivered, the regenerative elements in the cellular tissue begin to support healing at the source by:
- Encouraging new tissue growth
- Reducing inflammatory response
- Aiding in repair of damaged cartilage, tendons, or ligaments
- Promoting better joint function
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and the treatment is typically completed in under an hour with little to no downtime.
Conditions That Benefit from HCT Therapy
Our pain management clinic uses HCT therapy to address a wide variety of musculoskeletal and degenerative conditions, including:

- Knee pain and osteoarthritis
- Hip and shoulder degeneration
- Sciatica and low back pain
- Rotator cuff tears
- Ligament injuries
- Tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Chronic joint pain & inflammation

If you’ve been told your only options are pain medication or surgery, HCT therapy may provide a new path forward—one focused on healing, not just symptom relief.
