Celva Bio/ IV longevity/ Joint therapy add-on
§ 001 · Combined visit

IV and joint
in one visit.

For joint-therapy patients, a same-day systemic IV is often the right add-on: targeted cells to the joint, supporting dose to the system. One trip, one recovery, coordinated.

Logistics
One visit

Concierge transport, joint procedure, systemic IV, overnight, home next morning.

Rationale
Local + systemic

Joint targets the structure. IV supports systemic inflammatory environment.

Priced as
Bundle

Combined pricing is lower than two separate visits. Published in full.

§ 002 · Why combined

Two axes
of action.

Joint injection addresses the specific target. IV MSC addresses the systemic inflammatory environment in which that joint lives. The case for combining is biologic, not commercial.

Joint OA is rarely an isolated finding. Systemic inflammatory burden influences the rate of degeneration and the response window of any intra-articular therapy.

A same-day IV supports the systemic environment while the joint processes its local dose. Two mechanisms, one visit, one recovery curve.

Clinical call

Not every joint-therapy patient needs the IV add-on. Some do. The physician evaluation decides, your systemic inflammation markers, other joint complaints, and recovery priorities inform the call.

§ 003 · Day-of flow

What the
combined visit looks like.

07:00

10:00

Joint procedure

Image-guided injection to the target joint. Fluoroscopy for hip / spine, ultrasound for shoulder / knee.

~45–90 min
12:00

Infusion suite

Systemic IV dose delivered in the infusion suite. Continuous monitoring. Lunch.

~60–90 min
14:00

Observation & discharge

Post-procedure monitoring. Same-day discharge with overnight nearby. Physician accessible.

Day 2

Return to San Diego

Morning pickup. Direct return home. Structured follow-up begins immediately.

§ 004 · Who benefits

When the add-on
earns itself.

The patients who get the clearest benefit from combining have more than one axis in play: joint pain plus systemic inflammation, joint pain plus recovery demands, joint pain plus metabolic load.

Case 01

Multi-joint drift

Primary joint target plus secondary joints trending the same direction. IV supports the systemic environment.

Case 02

High systemic inflammation

Elevated CRP, metabolic inflammation, or post-illness residuals. Joint response benefits from systemic reset.

Case 03

Active recovery demands

Athletes and high-output professionals managing joint recovery alongside training load.

§ 005 · Questions

Combined
questions.

Q.01Is combining safe?
Yes, and commonly done. Total dose is adjusted to account for both routes. No increased adverse event profile in our clinical experience or published literature.
Q.02Does the IV accelerate joint response?
It doesn't accelerate the curve, the response window remains weeks to months. It supports the systemic environment in which that local response unfolds.
Q.03What's the price difference?
Combined pricing is published in full on the pricing page. It's less than two separate visits, but not dramatically so, because the biologic materials themselves are the dominant cost.
