Stem cells are one of the most talked-about frontiers in medicine—but how much of it actually applies to runners dealing with tendon pain?
In this episode, I’m joined by orthopaedic surgeon and researcher Chukwuweike Gwam to break down the latest evidence on stem cells and tendon healing. We unpack what stem cells actually are, how they work in the body, and whether they live up to the hype when it comes to treating tendinopathy.
We also explore the real-world limitations, risks, and costs—alongside what the future might hold for regenerative medicine in running injuries.
If you’ve ever considered injections, biologics, or wondered if stem cells are “the next big thing”… this episode will bring you up to speed.
