The Science, Presented Clearly

Evidence, with appropriate humility.

Our patient guide explains how Wharton’s Jelly hUC-MSCs are being investigated for sports injuries, what the research shows and where it is still early, so you can have an informed conversation with your physician.

“Our goal is not to sell you on a treatment. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge to have an informed, productive conversation with your physician and the Auragens medical team.”

How Auragens Customizes Your Protocol

Five Steps, built around you.

Every protocol is designed for the patient in front of us. Here’s how yours comes together.

1 Medical Intake The process begins with a medical history form. We may request imaging, lab work, medical records or other documentation before a physician consultation.
2 Candidacy Review The medical team reviews your case to determine whether treatment may be appropriate. Not every patient will qualify.
3 Protocol Design Your protocol is built around your condition, goals, health history and the administration routes selected by the medical team.
4 Treatment Week Most protocols take place over five days in Panamá City, with coordinated scheduling, transportation, hotel arrangements and a Patient Experience Executive.
5 Follow-Up Expectations Results vary. Some patients report changes during their stay; others notice changes over weeks or months. No timeline or outcome can be guaranteed.

Sports Recovery FAQs

Your Questions, answered with care.

Who may be a candidate for sports recovery treatment?

Athletes at every level, from professionals to active adults, can submit their history for review. Candidacy depends on your injury, imaging, surgical history, overall health and goals, and is always confirmed through medical review. Not every patient will qualify.

What records should I send?

Recent MRI or X-ray imaging, surgical and operative notes, physical therapy notes and a current medication list. Your Patient Experience Executive will let you know exactly what to send.

Do you work with team physicians and athletic trainers?

Yes. With your permission, our medical team can coordinate with your team physician, athletic trainer, surgeon or physical therapist so your protocol fits into your existing care.

Is treatment compliant with my league’s anti-doping rules?

Every league and governing body sets its own rules. Please check with your team physician or league before treatment. Our medical team will share the details of your protocol so you can confirm.

When can I return to training or play?

Return-to-play timing depends on your injury, your protocol and guidance from both our medical team and your own physicians. Our team will give you specific activity guidance; no timeline can be guaranteed.

Is this an alternative to surgery?

Not in every case. Some injuries require surgical care. For athletes exploring non-surgical options, our medical team will review your imaging and history and discuss whether a regenerative protocol may be appropriate, alongside the guidance of your own physicians.

How soon will I notice changes?

Results vary from patient to patient. Some patients report changes during their stay, while others notice changes over several weeks or months. No timeline or outcome can be guaranteed.
