ViviStem recovery protocols are intended as general guidance and may not address every patient’s unique medical needs. Individuals should always follow provider or physician approved instructions, which take their specific condition and treatment plan into account.
Stem Cell Therapy Patient Care Protocols
Pre-Treatment Care
• Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen) for at least 1 week before treatment unless approved by the provider.

• Notify staff of any active infections, fevers, or recent illness before treatment.
• Review all current medications and supplements with the clinical team.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care

• Mild soreness, stiffness, or swelling may occur. Rest and icing may be recommended.
• Avoid strenuous physical activity for several days and gradually resume activity as tolerated.
