What Is Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine?
Stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine are some of the hottest topics in the medical field. You may have already heard of these revolutionary options for treating pain, but do you really know how these procedures work?
While it may sound a bit like science fiction, regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy make it possible for your body to heal itself using cells you already have.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a revolutionary treatment that supports the regeneration of cartilage. Stem cells are harvested and mixed with platelet-rich plasma and extracellular matrix. The mixture is injected at the site of the injury. Stem cell therapy is commonly used to treat:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Labral tears of the shoulder
- Ligament and meniscal tears
- Arthritic Joints
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Like stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine uses your own adult stem cells to treat chronic and acute pain. Conditions commonly treated using regenerative medicine include herniated discs, osteoarthritis and compression fractures in the spine.
What are the Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine?
In cases where other pain management techniques have failed, stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine often provide significant pain relief. The potential benefits of these treatments include:
- Significant pain relief and repair and renewal of tendons, joints, and ligaments
- Minimal pain and discomfort during treatment
- Limited downtime
- Non-surgical, no incisions or general anesthesia
- Minimal risk of allergic reactions and adverse effects
