Introduction • Stem cell therapy uses a patient’s own stem cells to help repair damaged tissues and repair injuries. This therapy is a part of the regenerative medicine field that is rapidly growing. A few of the many things stem cell therapy is used for include reducing joint pain, increasing motion and flexibility, and treating tendon and ligament tears.
Benefits of stem Cell therapy • Reduced Pain and Fewer Medications • Better Mobility and Sleep • Additional Advantages • Treatment for Spinal Cord Injuries • Hair Regrowth • Treatment for Eye Disorders
Reduced Pain and Fewer Medications •
In this advantage of stem cell therapy is its ability to reduce pain, and it’s even effective for patients who suffer with chronic joint pain. By reducing pain and discomfort, stem cells can eliminate the need for many medications. If you have chronic joint pain and want to do something about, it might be time to consider stem cell therapy.
Better Mobility and Sleep •
Stem cells can work well for reducing pain, but they’re also effective for increasing mobility. Many patients have problems with flexibility, and due to intense pain, many limbs don’t have a full range of motion, which can be very debilitating. Since stem cells can transform into specialized cells and repair joint damage, they can increase your flexibility and range of motion. Depending on the situation, stem cells might even improve your sleep quality.
Additional Advantages •
A major advantage of stem cell therapy is its ability to reduce muscle compensations, and it’s especially beneficial for athletes because it can help to prevent future injuries. Another advantage of stem cell therapy is decreased nerve damage, and it’s also useful for increasing collagen. For some patients, stem cells are used to regenerate new heart tissue and reduce hair loss.
Treatment for Spinal Cord Injuries •
During clinical trials, stem cells contribute to spinal cord regeneration by renewing the neurons that died because of the injury, reforming myelin and acting as a support column across the injury, protecting cells from damage by the release of growth factors and bonding with free radicals, and relaxing the inflammation from the injury.
Hair Regrowth •
Stem cells to create new cells that can regrow hair. Stem cells provide an unlimited source of cells for transplant treatment in patients suffering from baldness.
• Embryonic stem cell trials to recover from blindness was a success for Jules Stein Eye Institute of University of California. After injecting retinal cells produced from stem cells into the eyes of patients, they reported improvements in their vision saying that it made a huge difference.
• Stem cells are usually taken from one of two areas in the patient’s body: bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue in their upper thigh/abdomen. Because it’s common to remove stem cells from areas of stored body fat, some refer to stem cell therapy as “Adipose Stem Cell Therapy” in some cases.
