Everything You Need to Know About Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional, or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives.
This cutting-edge stem cell technology has been shown to be of benefit, according to the Mayo Clinic, in a multitude of conditions, including
- leukemia
- lymphoma
- heart failure,
- Type 1 diabetes
- Parkinson’s disease,
- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Alzheimer’s disease
- heart disease
- stroke, burns
- cancer
- osteoarthritis.
There is a large body of evidence that suggests that stem cell injections can restore damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and intervertebral discs.
The procedure itself usually involves about an hour of your time, in which we will first harvest bone marrow from your hip bone under imaging guidance under local anesthesia and/or light sedation if needed. Then after concentrating the stem cells, we will inject these into the areas of your damaged tissues, again under imaging guidance. You should start to notice the effects in 1-2 weeks, and these improvements should continue for the following 3-6 months as the tissue is restored closer toward its original architecture. This has become a highly requested option due to short procedure times and recovery results that get you back to living and enjoying life to the fullest quickly.
