Since most, but not all patients exploring stem cell strategies are older and have far fewer stem cells, it usually means millions of cells must be extracted just to capture a few hundred stem cells.
Extracting stem cells from bone marrow can be painful, cause additional damage and leave the patient at risk for infections and other complications.
There are also ways to use lipo-suction techniques to extract fat from the body, spin and separate the tissue to extract stem cells. The downside, as mentioned earlier is that those older cells lack the various performance capabilities offered by more youthful cells.
Plus as a person’s body gets older and degenerates, there are advantages to adding new stem cells rather than extracting them from their own body’s already finite and dwindling supply.
The transplant tissue we’re talking about from umbilical cords, can be used to reduce or eliminate pain. It can be used to help grow cartilage, ligaments and nerves. It also serves to minimize scar tissue and inflammation.
You can add these to the long list of reasons why top stem cell therapy providers prefer a different approach, like adding millions of youthful and vibrant stem cells, without painful bone marrow or lip-suction based extractions instead.
As a recap, stem cells which don’t come from a patient’s own body can be procured from umbilical cords following live births. They are carefully screened for diseases. And, these fetal tissues are “transplant friendly” and easily welcomed by the immune systems of other people, so rejection is almost never an issue.
Plus, as part of the process of transplanting stem cells, patients can be given millions of stem cells, not just a few hundred.
The focus and specialty of our practice is around diagnosing and addressing orthopedic issues. By that I mean pain and discomfort of the neck, back, knees, ankles, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands.
