Top 10 Things You Need to Know About Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is becoming more commonplace and provides patients with a viable alternative to surgery that requires very little downtime. It is true that athletes and celebrities alike have shared their own stories of beating injuries and pain by using this treatment. Cristiano Ronaldo, Max Scherzer, Charlie Sheen and Madonna have all had great results from stem cell therapy. They have returned them to their physically demanding jobs without the discomfort associated with surgery.

Although there's a lot of hype about this latest treatment for joint pain that can be used to treat spinal and major joint pain, There is also plenty of false information out in public regarding it. Therefore, it is essential to get reliable information and gather all the information before choosing whether or not this treatment is the right choice for you.

As an experienced expert in regenerative medicine, I've been involved in stem cell therapy and other regenerative medical procedures for more than a decade. In this time, patients have been coming to me with many questions and myths that they seek me out to help them understand and clarify. As I continue to inform my patients about the myriad of Regenerative medicine treatments (including the stem-cell therapy Platelet-rich Plasma PRP and the micro fragmented injection of adipose), I can understand how it could be overwhelming due to all the information available.

Here are the top 10 things you should be aware of Stem Cell Therapy from 2022 

1. What is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells treatment is a non-surgical outpatient procedure that relies on the body's healing process. This effective and safe treatment can:

• Rebuild tissue damaged by injury

• Effectively treat injuries

• Reduce the pain

In taking your stem cells from the bone marrow and injecting them into the part of your body which is damaged or injured, I can create an environment that is natural to heal.

2. What Conditions and Areas of the Body Does Stem Cell Therapy Treat?

Stem cell therapy is utilized to treat many orthopedic and common spinal disorders. Although, we are among the few practices in Virginia to utilize stem cell therapy to treat discs in the spine. Our regenerative medicine experts have developed this safe and efficient treatment for many orthopedic ailments. In general, stem cell therapy is utilized for:

• Conditions that affect the spine include chronic disc degeneration, herniated discs, spinal facet pain, pinched nerves and sacroiliac (SI) joint pain.

• Osteoarthritis of joints, including hip, knee, shoulder, ankle and shoulder joints.

• Partially rotator cuff tears

• Tendon tears that persist, such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and quadriceps and tendon tears in the patella.

• Tears in the muscles

• The knee is a joint that has tears in the cartilage (meniscus)

• Non-healing bone fractures

3. Should I Have Surgery, or Should I Have Stem Cell Therapy?

Many people choose stem cell therapy as an alternative to delaying surgery or eliminating surgery. By focusing on the root cause of pain, stem cell therapy can improve your mobility and function without surgery or medications. It also can reduce the time to recover compared to surgery options. The time between recovery from the procedure and stem cells therapy is unbeatable. The stem cell treatment is carried out as an outpatient procedure, with the entire procedure taking around three hours from the time of preparation until when patients are allowed to return home.

4. How Long Does Stem Cell Therapy Last?

The answer to this question is contingent on the individual's specific disease, the area of the body that the treatment is being administered to and how damaged that region is. This is the last treatment they'll require to treat their injuries for many people. It lets them avoid surgery and go back to their normal life. However, if there's a lot of damage for others or their body is not fast at healing, it may require a couple of rounds of stem cells to get back to non-painful.

5. What Makes a Good Candidate for Stem Cell Therapy?

Every person's situation is unique; that is why our nationally-recognized specialists will determine whether or not stem cell therapy is the best treatment option for your condition. In your thorough consultation, your physician will spend time with you to discuss your general health condition, existing medical issues, lifestyle, job demands, and expectations. In this way, we will create your personalized treatment plan and, in certain cases, mix regenerative treatments to get the best results for you.

6. Is Stem Cell Therapy Painful?

Stem cell therapy is not uncomfortable at all. First, I treat the area with numbing medication to be as comfortable as possible. Then, if patients are experiencing discomfort, I'll add more medication to numb the area to reduce the pain. When the treatment is complete and the patient is comfortable, they take pain medication over the counter for a couple of days.

7. Does The FDA approve Stem Cell Therapy?

Treatment with stem cells is FDA exempt. The FDA is not regulating the procedure since we use the patient's bone, blood and marrow to carry out the procedure. If this procedure was carried out using bone marrow donated by someone else, that could fall under FDA regulations.

8. What Type of Stem Cells Are Used for Stem Cell Therapy?

We use your stem cells in the stem cell therapy process. We don't use embryonic stem cells or stem cells from a patient. Instead, our stem cells have been taken from the bone marrow of your body and precisely inserted within the injury site with the help of an image. The stem cells of your bone marrow are known as Mesenchymal stem cells and are considered the body's repairmen. They possess the ability to repair muscles, cartilage, bone and tendons. It is essential to know that stem cells from these cells do not pose the ethical dilemmas associated with the use of embryonic stem cells.

9. How Soon Can I Get Back to Physical Activity After Stem Cell Therapy?

While some patients experience relief in minutes, We typically allow patients within 4-6 weeks of physical exercise. In this timeframe, your body will have had sufficient healing time and build healthy cells in the area that has been damaged. However, there are many things you can accomplish six weeks after treatment. For example, in just 48 hours, you'll be able to walk with the full range of motion within a few hours and return to work within just a few days after treatment.

10. Where Can I Safely Receive Stem Cell Therapy?

There are many different practices and doctors. Not all are created equal. It is important to choose an office that has a physician with a high level of training and is proficient in performing stem-cell therapy. Regenerative medicine specialists will be familiar with the different kinds of regenerative medical procedures and be able to provide an individual treatment plan to suit your needs.
