Cellular Therapy

Stem cells are the foundation for every organ and tissue in your body. An increasing number of professional athletes are turning to joint rejuvenation therapies as safe and effective methods to heal their bodies and return to their sport. Fortunately however, these therapies are available to everyone from high school athletes to weekend warriors to those simply looking for an alternative to surgery.

More people are discovering that their joints are not holding up to the amount of activity they are accustomed to doing, and athletes are looking for non-surgical routes to keep them active. Instead of signing up for multiple joint replacements, stem cell treatment is appearing promising.

Although there are valuable options available, non-surgical medical care has its limits. Experiencing joint pain doesn't automatically mean that you should have a joint replacement. Most joint causes for joint pain never require surgery. The use of stem cells in medicine has advanced greatly in the last few decades. Stem cells are capable of long-term division, thus renewing themselves and replenishing other cells. Stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they have the ability to supply cells in many tissues throughout the body. When applied to a site of injury, the pluripotent cells utilize the body's innate healing mechanisms to initiate their regenerative action. These properties give stem cell treatment an immense therapeutic capacity.

Since stem cells contain natural growth factors, they have the power to do more than just heal damage. They have been found to reduce pain, reduce stiffness and improve mobility. Many patients start experiencing better overall functionality with just one treatment. Furthermore, the incidence of adverse reaction is very low because the cells are derived from biological components that already exist in the human body.

With more than 600,000 knee replacements performed in the United States yearly, the potential applications of regenerative medicine are truly profound. Whether patients that have spent years skiing, running marathons, walking golf courses or just battling chronic arthritis, various surgeries can be avoided by alternatively choosing a stem cell procedure. Cellular therapy translates to less pain and a decreased risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.

Stem cells have emerged as a key element of regenerative medicine therapies. Stem cells assist in repair of tissues that are damaged by disease, injury or normal wear and tear. The array of benefits related to stem cells is related to a beneficial blend of cytokines, growth factors and cells that ensure a rich micro-environment to foster tissue regeneration and cellular growth. Your body has the natural ability to heal itself with stem cells and other derivatives. As we age, the amount of stem cells in the body are reduced and are not as efficient or viable. Stem cell injections have the power to do more than just heal damage. They have been found to reduce pain, reduce stiffness and improve mobility.

Stem cell injection therapy is performed as a simple in office procedure. They are a safe and effective non-steroidal, non-surgical therapy. Since stem cells contain natural growth factors they can reduce pain and reproduce quickly. Many patients start experiencing better overall functionality with just one treatment.

You may be a good candidate for stem cell therapy if you have been suffering from joint pain and want to improve your quality of life while avoiding complications related to invasive surgical procedures. If you have already tried conventional treatments including Physical Therapy, steroids, narcotics and anti-inflammatory medications, Regenerative medicine/Stem Cell therapy is a safe and effective option.
