Can I Do Regenerative Therapy Instead of Surgery?

If the thought of surgery and recovery for a joint replacement makes you cringe, you can likely try regenerative therapy instead.

Many doctors suggest medication or temporary procedures to numb or mask pain, but there are other methods to help treat what is causing the pain.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a form of regenerative therapy, though different than receiving stem cells. PRP uses the patient's blood to concentrate growth factors promoting healing. The drawn blood sample spins at high speed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma protein and then is injected into the area of injury or pain.

We all have stem cells but utilizing umbilical cord tissue or amniotic fluid, ensures strength and quantity.

Exosomes are unique because they can talk to other cells and help the body heal by telling other cells what to do. With some time, exosomes can help heal injured areas of the body by stimulating healthy tissue growth.

This powerful form of regenerative medicine is a possible solution for repairing and regenerating tissue damaged by arthritis, injury, or degenerative joint diseases. Exosomes also show promise in helping to battle cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other chronic illnesses.

While PRP or stem cells can be very effective for pain, other neurological disorders can also be treated. Infusing stem cells through an IV will deliver them directly to the blood and immediately start circulating throughout your body. This method has helped manage symptoms associated with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), Parkinson's Disease, and stroke.

Other conditions treated with regenerative therapies include:

· ACL injuries

· Ankle sprains

· Back/ neck injuries

· Knee, shoulder, or hip osteoarthritis

· Plantar Fasciitis

· Joint and muscle tears/ injuries

· Ligament sprains

· Pelvic/ Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

· Rotator cuff tears

· Tendinitis/ Bursitis

· Tennis/Golfers' elbow

Regenerative therapy can be a viable alternative to surgery for many people suffering from joint pain and chronic illnesses.

You can get back to living without pain with the right treatment plan. To learn more about regenerative therapy, call 815-412-6192 to see if it is an option for you.

Stem Cell Banking: Securing The Future of Health

Link to article: https://www.shawlocal.com/the-herald-news/sponsored/2023/09/12/chicago-stem-cell-therapy-pain-management-institute-10215532/ The Benefits of Stem Cell Banking: Securing the Future of Health By Chicago Stem Cell Therapy & Pain Management Institute [sponsored] In recent years, stem cell banking has emerged as an innovative and groundbreaking way to store and use stem cells for future medical treatments. Stem cell banking, which utilizes cryogenically frozen stem cells, has been made possible thanks to the advancement of modern science. By banking your stem cells, you can take advantage of their regenerative capabilities. Known as “health insurance for the future,” you can be prepared for any potential medical conditions or need for medical treatment that may arise down the line. Stem cells derived from autologous (your own body’s) tissue are ideal for those looking to bank their cells. Research shows that telomeres, the protective end caps on DNA that shorten with age, are longer on your own adipose (fatty) tissue than bone marrow. This makes your fatty tissue an ideal and less painful source for preserving stem cells. Exosomes, derived from placental or umbilical cord tissue, are often recommended for older adults or those with other medical issues. However, banking your stem cells would be the best option if you have a younger and healthier body. Parents can also choose to bank tissue of their newborns, to culture expand the mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) stored in the tissue. This banking is different than cord blood because doing so can provide up to 500 million live MSCs available to their children in the future, ensuring they have access to regenerative treatments and therapies as needed or desired. The potential benefits of stem cell banking are endless. You might use your banked cells for back or arthritis pain in joints, injuries such as a torn ligament or inflamed tendon, accelerated healing of more severe fractures, or even aesthetic treatments.
