Simple things like walking the dog, climbing stairs, or sitting at your desk can feel impossible. Chronic spine or joint pain can really take over your life. At Cary Orthopaedics, Dr. Sameer Mathur is changing that. Using stem cell and regenerative medicine therapies, he helps patients reduce pain, heal damaged tissue, and regain the life they want—without jumping straight to surgery.
Dr. Mathur is not your typical orthopedic surgeon. He’s incredibly thorough, combining compassion with top-notch expertise. He earned his MD at the University of Pennsylvania, completed his residency at the State University of New York, and then went on to a fellowship in spinal surgery at Rush Presbyterian Medical Center in Chicago. He focuses on minimally invasive procedures for complex spinal and joint conditions. Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Mathur has done extensive research—from studying cell growth at Dana Farber Cancer Institute to exploring spinal cord injury treatment and the genetic causes of scoliosis.
So, what exactly is stem cell or regenerative therapy? In simple terms, it uses your own cells—or biologically active substances derived from them—to help repair damaged tissues. For people dealing with degenerative discs, arthritis, or other joint injuries, these treatments can reduce inflammation, support natural healing, and restore mobility. In many cases, they’re an alternative to surgery.
At Cary Orthopaedics, Dr. Mathur and his team offer a full range of non-surgical solutions. Their state-of-the-art spine center includes digital X-rays, on-site MRI, dedicated physical therapy, orthotics, bone growth stimulators, and more. They also perform cervical, thoracic, and lumbar injections, facet injections, discography, spinal cord stimulator trials, and EMG/nerve conduction studies—all designed to get patients moving and living pain-free.
Surgery is always a last resort. In fact, Dr. Mathur’s data shows that fewer than 10% of patients at the center actually need spinal surgery. Most patients find relief through a combination of regenerative therapy, physical therapy, and personalized treatment plans. Stem cell injections, in particular, can help people delay or avoid surgery while promoting long-term joint and spine health.
Patients’ experiences speak volumes. One said, “Stem cell injections made a huge difference in my life.” Another shared that their disc replacement recovery went exactly as Dr. Mathur predicted. Everyone praises not just his expertise, but also his dedication, follow-up care, and willingness to answer questions—even outside office hours. That’s the kind of attention and care that makes a real difference.
Dr. Mathur’s professional accolades are extensive, but what matters most to patients is his ability to combine cutting-edge science with a human touch. He’s board-certified in spinal surgery, a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and affiliated with the North American Spine Society, among others. He’s also led research at UNC Chapel Hill and contributed to advances in spinal cord injury treatment.
