Stem cell therapy, also referred to as regenerative medicine, is an outpatient procedure that targets the underlying source of pain without medication, surgery or long recovery times. This procedure utilizes the body’s own healing ability to regenerate damaged tissues, decrease chronic pain and heal injuries more effectively. Stem cells can transform into bone, cartilage or fat cells to stimulate the body’s healing process.

Stem cell treatment is considered a regenerative therapy because it helps affected areas repair themselves when they are injected with stem cells. The stem cells used for this type of therapy can: • Develop into whatever cells the body may need to help repair the affected area.

• Self-renew once they are injected, meaning they will continue working to repair and heal the body.

• Reduce pain by acting as an anti-inflammatory agent on damaged tissue.

Arthritis, or inflammation of the joints, is a common pain most people face throughout their lifetime. Most of us will experience this because as we age, our bones and joints begin showing signs of wear and tear from our daily activities.

Additionally, arthritis is common in those who play sports, as their joints experience high impacts.

BONE FRACTURES

Some bone fractures have trouble healing on their own. Undergoing a stem cell treatment can give your fracture the help it needs to begin the healing process and properly grow back together.
