What Is Stem Cell Injection Therapy?
Stem cell injection therapy is a novel approach to pain management. It utilizes stem cells to repair a damaged area through a minimally invasive injection procedure. Stem cells are used to successfully treat patients with osteoarthritis in the knees, Achilles tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, and degenerative arthritis. Pain derived from these conditions can be debilitating for many, significantly lowering their quality of life.
Chronic pain can be frustrating as many treatment options only provide temporary relief. Through stem cell injection therapy our goal is to provide you with a more long-term solution to help manage your pain. Stem cells are the building blocks of the human body as they are utilized to create all other cells. due to their nature, they have healing and repairing properties to help rebuild a damaged area.
How Does Stem Cell Injection Therapy Work?
Stem cells are their most powerful during embryonic development as they transform themselves into any other cell needed to form a human. As an adult, we still have stem cells located in our bone marrow and blood, however, not in the quantities necessary to fully rebuild and repair. This procedure utilizes the body’s natural healing process by redirecting the stem cells located in your bone marrow and placing them where you need them most.
During the procedure, one of our interventional pain specialists will ask you to lay on the examination table. After proper sterilization of the area, a local numbing agent is then administered to minimize discomfort at the injection site. With the aid of fluoride, a type of x-ray guide, the physician will then proceed to insert a small, hollow needle into the impacted area. The goal is to help repair damaged tissue and lower inflammation.
