5 Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy

 

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.

 


What is a stem cell?

 

Before we explain some of the benefits of this therapy, it may be helpful to know a little bit more about stem cells in general.

Adult stem cells (also known as Somatic stem cells) are undifferentiated cells found throughout your body. In some adult tissues, such as bone marrow, muscle, and brain, discrete populations of adult stem cells generate replacements for other cells that are lost through normal wear and tear, injury, or disease. They multiply to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues.

Scientific interest in adult stem cells is centred on their ability to divide or self-renew indefinitely and generate different cell types.

Stem cells act as mother cells that have the potential to become any type of cell. Every organ and tissue in your body grew out of a cluster of stem cells early in development.

They are the foundation cells and your own bank of self-healing.

At Medica Stem Cells Clinic we only use Adult Stem Cells.

 

5 Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy

 

With so many options out there, you may be wondering what benefits choosing stem cell therapy provides.  Overall, because stem cell therapy utilizes biologic material harvested directly from the patient’s body, the general benefits include minimal risk, minimal recovery time and minimal worry.

 

Here are 5 benefits to be aware of:

Avoid surgery and its risks and many complications

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure. The stem cells are harvested from the patient’s bone marrow from the iliac crest (pelvis).

 

Same day procedure

After comprehensive examination and review of your case, blood tests & radio-imaging scans are done to establish a baseline for your pre-existing condition.

This is a same-day procedure, where the Consultant will decide which line of Regenerative Therapy is most suited to your case. In certain cases it may be a combination of more than one treatment protocol.

For some patients however, the complete protocol is a series of injections in several treatment sessions.

 

Minimal post-procedural recovery time

One of the most time consuming factors of any injury is not always the treatment itself, but actually the recovery time. With stem cell therapy, recovery time is minimal.

 

 

 

No use of general anesthesia

Anaesthesia causes anxiety in many people. In Regenerative Treatment a topical anaesthesia is used thus there is no side-effects usually felt after.

 

Regenerative Treatments help body’s own natural ability to repair itself without the use of any medication.

 

No risk of rejection and No communicable disease transmission

Due to using biologics extracted from the patient, there is no risk of rejection. And as the cells originate within your own body, there is no risk of spreading disease from or to another person.

Heal Tennis Elbow With Regenerative Treatment

  The lateral epicondyle is a bony bump on the outer side of the elbow. Lateral epicondylitis, also known as Tennis elbow, is an inflammatory condition that causes pain if tendons in the elbow get injured due to overuse of the arm and the wrist. Unlike the name, athletes are not the only ones who develop this disorder. Painters, plumbers, butchers, carpenters, and repetitive computer mouse users are also prone to lateral epicondylitis, as their jobs involve the overuse of both arm and wrist. The muscles of the forearm and tendons get damaged due to their repetitive overuse. This intense pain may also spread to the wrist and forearm. The symptoms of Tennis elbow include: Pain on the outer part of the elbow Tenderness over the lateral epicondyle (prominent part on the outside of the elbow) Weaker range of motion Stiffness The following actions may aggravate the symptoms of Tennis elbow: Shaking hands Griping an object Turning a doorknob Holding a coffee cup Lifting or bending arm Mov...

Will cracking your knuckles leads to osteoarthritis? – Ask Our Medical Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland

  Are you the knuckle cracker? Did anyone warn you by saying that this habit will lead to osteoarthritis? Don’t worry! There’s no evidence to back up that saying.   Cracking your knuckles is not the cause of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage, which coats the ends of the joints, breaks down. As the cartilage continues to tear over time, the bones rub each other, which hinders your movement and causes pain. Remember that the causes of osteoarthritis include wear-and-tear, repeated hand movements, past trauma and a genetic predisposition if any.  How does the popping sound arise during knuckle cracking? Your finger joints consist of synovial fluid that helps in moving around the joints smoothly. This fluid has gas bubbles. Whenever you crack your knuckles, you extend the space between the joints. Hence, the bubbles will burst, followed by creating a popping sound. Since it takes time for the bubbles to accumulate again, you can’t crack the same kn...

Heal Jumper’s Knee Naturally with Medica Stem Cell Therapy

  Are you a runner or a competitive jumper? Do you overuse your knee repetitively? Check whether you have a Jumper’s knee condition? Jumper’s knee can be referred to as Patellar tendonitis. Your physician may recommend surgery, especially if the non-surgical methods don’t provide any significant relief. This condition requires treatment, but that need not be surgical. Medica Stem Cells Clinic in the UK recommends Medica Stem Cells therapy and PRP therapy as the best alternative to treat Jumper’s knee. Before knowing the importance of Medica stem cell therapy , let us learn what patellar tendonitis is. What is Jumper’s knee/patellar tendonitis? Patellar tendonitis occurs when there is an injury to the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone. It arises due to the stressed patellar tendon. The repeated stress of the tendon causes micro-tears that become inflamed over time. The risk factors may include: Partaking in sports or other physical activities that involve running or ...
