Actor Abhay Deol Undergoes Stem Cell Therapy for Pain; Experts Cite Experimental Status

Actor Abhay Deol shared that he underwent stem cell therapy in South Korea to treat knee pain and sciatica caused by a slipped disc, describing the procedure as natural and safe. Stem cell therapy uses a patient’s own cells to potentially regenerate damaged tissue and reduce inflammation. However, experts note the treatment remains experimental, lacks US FDA approval, and may be costly, with limited evidence on its effectiveness for all patients.
