What is Regenerative Medicine?
When you break a bone or scrape your knee, the body is able to heal itself. However, certain diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease, prevent this from happening. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously irreparable organs to heal themselves.
Regenerative medicine treatments uses your own cells and tissues to improve body parts that need help healing, which allows us to use them to lessen chronic pain with little to no side effects. The idea behind regenerative medicine is this: Signals are sent to areas of your body in pain letting it know that healing is needed. When the regenerative product is administered, the signaling will go through a series of stages that end in regeneration.
Because each patient is unique, several sessions may be required before full results can be appreciated. When you visit us for an appointment, we’ll be able to better examine your current state, needs and goals. As always, your care with us will be custom and tailored to you-we’ll always have your best interest at heart.
What Are the Benefits of Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine refers to therapies that use the body’s own natural healing agents to help tissue repair, and growth factors to restore tissues and organ functions. These therapies include stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy in which doctors extract these agents from blood and concentrate them at the site of an injury.
It’s designed to restore functionality to damaged areas, helping the human body work exactly as it was designed.
It may be ideal for many patients dealing with:
- Knee pain
- Hip or back pain
- Shoulder problems
- Sports injuries
- Age-related problems
- And more
Use of Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine
With regenerative medicine, there is a possibility of repairing an organ using a patient’s own stem cells, eliminating the need for donor organs and subsequent immunosuppressive treatments.
Stem cells are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types and a variety of sources, including your own fat or bone marrow, placental tissue, and umbilical cord tissue, among others. This can also range from muscle cells, or fat cells to brain cells. In some cases, they can also fix damaged tissues. Researchers believe that stem cell therapies may one day be used to treat serious illnesses such as paralysis and Alzheimer’s disease.
Where do Stem Cells come from?
Stem cells are divided into 2 main forms.
Embryonic Stem Cells. The embryonic stem cells used in research today come from unused embryos. These result from an in vitro fertilization procedure. They are donated to science. These embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that they can turn into more than one type of cell.
Adult Stem Cells. There are 2 types of adult stem cells. One type comes from fully developed tissues such as the brain, skin, and bone marrow. There are only small numbers of stem cells in these tissues. They are more likely to generate only certain types of cells. For example, a stem cell that comes from the liver will only make more liver cells.
Slowly over time, humans have grown to understand regenerative medicine, and how it may change the way we treat diseases. It’s been only relatively recently that adult stem cell therapy, has gathered fast momentum.
