Self-assessment · 10 questions · About 2 minutes

Before you call a clinic,
find out where you stand.

You've probably been reading about stem cells for weeks and still can't tell whether this is worth a phone call. Ten questions about your situation, what you've tried, and what you're hoping for. At the end, one of four next steps matched to where you actually are, including the one that says not yet.

Ten questions.
None about your diagnosis.

If you scrolled past the quiz to read this first, good. Here is every question it asks, so nothing in there surprises you.

The quiz does not ask what is wrong with you. It asks how much the problem is affecting your days, how long it has been going on, and what you have already tried. That last one is a ladder most people recognise: nothing yet, then rest and stretching, then physical therapy or a chiropractor, then medications or injections, then multiple approaches and still looking.

The other half is about you, not the joint. What you are hoping for. How soon you want to decide. Your biggest hesitation. How open you would be to a call if a clinic seemed credible. Whether you would travel. Where you are right now, anywhere from gathering information casually to looking for the right clinic to speak with.

Your imaging, your history, and your diagnosis stay with you. The first person to read those is a physician.

Questions 5 to 10

About you

  • What you are hoping for
  • How soon you want to decide
  • Your biggest hesitation

What the quiz
cannot tell you.

It cannot tell you whether you qualify. Only a physician reading your imaging can.

Candidacy is decided by Celva's physician team at Hospital Angeles, Tijuana, reading your imaging and history. A quiz cannot see a Kellgren-Lawrence grade (the scale radiologists use to stage arthritis) or the joint space on an X-ray. Some of the people the physicians evaluate are told that surgery is the right tool. The quiz cannot know that in advance, and it does not pretend to.

It also scores exactly what you tell it. Answer as the person you are today, not the version of you having a good week.

What it is for is smaller and more useful: a gut check on whether this is worth two more hours of reading, a walk through the treatment day, or a phone call. That is the whole job.

A Celva patient, in his own words

“Look into it, do your homework.”

Scott M., 68 · Low back pain · Panama City Beach, FL. A real patient, not a script. Individual results vary.

Who decides

Coordinators gather. Physicians decide.

If your result is a call, the call is with a patient coordinator who collects your imaging, history, and goals. The physician team reviews independently and answers in writing.

Questions people ask
before they start.

Q.01 Does the quiz tell me whether I qualify for treatment?
No. It tells you whether a conversation is worth having yet. Whether you qualify is a physician decision made from your imaging and history, and the physician team declines some of the people who ask.
Q.02 Do you save my answers?
No. Your individual answers stay in your browser. The site records that a quiz was completed and which of the four results it reached, as an analytics event with no name attached, and nothing else. No name, no email, no phone.
Q.03 Can I take it again?
Yes, as often as you like. The early-research result asks you to come back once your reading has moved on, because a second pass usually lands somewhere different.
Q.04 I already know I want to book. Do I need the quiz?
No. Book a call → The quiz is for the person who cannot yet tell whether a call is the next step.
Q.05 Is it a diagnosis or medical advice?
No. It is a self-assessment for education only. It does not diagnose, and it does not replace an evaluation by a licensed physician.

Two minutes.
Then you know your next step.

Ten questions, no personal details, one next step matched to where you are. If that step is a call, the call is with a patient coordinator, and the physician team decides candidacy after reading your case.
