The HiQCell treatment, which aims to reduce inflammation and repair damaged tissue is carried out under the supervision of the treating medical practitioner. HiQCell has been used to treat more than 500 patients and over 1,000 arthritic joints. The cell therapy procedure is supported by safety data from a randomised controlled clinical trial and long-term safety and efficacy data is tracked through Australia’s first Joint Registry for stem cell therapy.
