Nonsurgical pain management for joint arthritis, such as in the knee, shoulder or hip, has so far consisted predominantly of pain suppressing medicines. This usually entails steroid injections, topical analgesic creams and medications by mouth such as anti-inflammatory medications. What has really been necessary, though, is a treatment that truly alters the underlying problem. Stem Cells are like a blank slate and can differentiate into all types of cells for regeneration. Regenerative medicine provides the opportunity for a real cure with stem cells, platelet rich plasma and growth factors to heal damage. One of the foremost procedures at TeleHealth Medical Group that continues to increase in popularity is bone marrow derived stem cell injections. A persons own bone marrow contains a substantial amount of the stem cells and additional biologic materials necessary for regeneration, with the added benefit of being low risk and outpatient. What are bone marrow derived stem cell injections? The main reason that stem cells are used as therapy for arthritis and other conditions that experience joint pain is that they maintain regenerative properties with the potential to repair and reverse damaged joints. Bone marrow is a spongy tissue contained inside ones bones, and makes cells that … Continue reading →

Click on the Treatments on the Left Tabs for more information. Stem Cell Treatments at Colorado Clinic Traditional therapies for osteoarthritis, ligament injury and tendonitis maintain certain commonalities. They help provide excellent pain relief, however, they do not alter the condition or help with the healing process. They act as an excellent band aid, but they do not REPAIR the problem! The newest treatments for helping repair the damage involve Regenerative Medicine. The therapies are cutting edge and include stem cells, platelets, growth factors and cytokines. Here is an example of what regenerative medicine offers. When a football player sustains a rotator cuff tendon injury, it may heal by itself in six to 10 weeks. Healing of damaged tendons or ligaments may occur naturally. However, it does not reach 100% strength like it was before. With regenerative medicine, this situation may be very different. Healing of the rotator cuff injury may occur much faster, and it may reach … Continue reading →

For many patients with debilitating knee osteoarthritis, treatment options are limited: steroid injections, joint replacement surgery (and replacement alternatives), physical therapy, etc. At Hedley Orthopaedic Institute, new cutting-edge treatment options like amniotic membrane stem cell injections may be used to successfully treat patients with knee osteoarthritis, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff tendonitis, and degenerative arthritis. For clarification, this type of stem cell comes from the amniotic sac not an embryo. While some people may have ethical issues with embryonic stem cell therapy, most everyone agrees that the use of amniotic stem cell therapy raises no ethical or moral questions. Stem cell treatment takes advantage of the bodys ability to repair itself. With amniotic stem cell therapy, the sports medicine physician injects stem cells from amniotic tissues into your body. These stem cells have anti-inflammatory properties, similar to cortisone and steroid shots. However, stem cell therapy goes far beyond the benefits of standard injection therapy. While cortisone and other drugs only provide temporary pain relief, stem cells actually restore degenerated tissue while providing pain relief. The growth factors in amniotic stem cells may replace damaged cells in your body. Additionally, stem cell injections contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates joints and tendons, easing … Continue reading →

SOUTH BEND, Ind.--- Mike and Katie have been a couple since college, but they've known each other much longer. "We've been together forever," said Mike. "I've actually known Mike since I was 5-years-old," said Katie. A marriage and three kids later they've been through good times, and bad. The worst came nine-years-ago when Mike found out he had Huntington's disease. Huntington's is a deadly, inherited disease that affects about 30,000 Americans; 150,000 more are at risk. Until now there has been no hope for these patients, who typically die of the disease within 15 years of diagnosis. "My father had it, said Mike. He died from it." Huntington's causes uncontrollable movements and mental decline, there is no cure. "Unfortunately, it ends in death, said Dr. Vicki Wheelock, a neurologist at UC Davis Health System. It's a fatal disease." Now researchers are gearing up for a new trial in humans. Continued here: Doctors think stem cell injections could provide hope for Huntington disease patients … Continue reading →
