Frequently Asked Questions What Stem Cell Therapies are available? Local Stem Cell Injections are used in orthopedics to target specific sites that are inflamed (i.e. arthritic joints or damaged ligaments). Applications currently include: Knee Stem Cell Injection- Alternative treatment for ACL, MCL, Meniscus, and Cartilage Damage. The MetroMD approach to degenerative joint disease may help knee injuries without the use of traditional surgery. Great question, and two big reasons stand out: 1. We perform autologous stem cell treatments, meaning that the donor and recipient are the same. In other words, we extract stem cells from your body and inject or infuse them back to you directly on the same day. We dont give you stem cells from other people so we eliminate the risk of rejection and other complications. 2. Some providers try to extract stem cells from adipose (fatty) tissue via liposuction. We extract stem cells from the bone marrow located inside your hips iliac crest. Bone marrow aspirate contains a richer source of bioactive stem cells and essential growth factors. We then concentrate the regenerative cells and supporting factors in their natural plasma to retail cellular viability and proliferative potential. Optimal healing and patient outcomes are achieved when … Continue reading →

Orange, California (PRWEB) December 09, 2013 Top California stem cell clinic, TeleHealth, is now offering five nonsurgical treatments for joint arthritis. The treatments offered are all outpatient, low risk and have the potential to help patients avoid joint replacements. For more information and scheduling, call (888) 828-4575. Regenerative medicine offers treatments that are meant to restore and repair damaged joints. Conventional treatments for joint arthritis have been excellent at pain relief, however, they have not been able to alter the course of the disease. Stem cell injections, on the other hand, are administered for both pain relief and altering the course of arthritis. Initial published studies have demonstrated their benefit. Stem cell treatments at TeleHealth include either bone marrow, fat derived, or blood derived stem cell injections. The risks are extremely low with these procedures since the material is harvested from the patient, processed immediately, and then injected into the target area. Additionally, the clinic offers platelet rich plasma therapy. Known as PRP therapy for short, the treatment involves a simple blood draw. The blood is then spun down into concentrated platelets and growth factors and injected into the arthritic joint. One additional treatment offered by TeleHealth is prolotherapy. The … Continue reading →

Orange County, California (PRWEB) December 02, 2013 Stem cell treatments for back pain from arthritis are now being offered at top West Coast stem cell clinic, TeleHealth. The outpatient, low risk treatments are provided by Board Certified doctors with extensive experience in stem cell therapy. For more information and scheduling call (888) 828-4575. Traditional treatments for arthritic spinal joints involve interventional procedures that do a great job at reducing pain, however, they do not alter the course of the condition. They act as a proverbial "band aid", and are necessary every so often once pain returns. Stem cell injections, on the other hand, have the potential to provide pain relief while possible regenerating some of the damaged tissue. Initial small studies have shown this potential for cartilage regeneration in animals, while small human studies have demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes. TeleHealth offers these stem cell injections in an outpatient setting with Board Certified doctors. The injection material is processed from a persons own fat or bone marrow, so there is very little risk of infection or adverse event. In addition to offering stem cell therapy for back pain, TeleHealth also offers the treatments for extremity joint arthritis in the knee, shoulder, … Continue reading →

Published on October 31, 2013. More research is appearing discussing the use of Stem Cell Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis Stem Cell Injectionsare part of our treatment plan for joint injuries and chronic pain. We have specialized, since 1999, in the non-surgical treatment of joint injuries, using techniques such as prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma therapy, and stem cell therapy to regenerate joint tissue. We have performed tens of thousands of procedures. This experience allows us to take a dual approach to joint injury with the use of stem cells and PRP to treat within the joint, and the use of prolotherapy to strengthen and regenerate the supporting structure of the joint. A holistic view of orthopaedics is also followed in several ways, as we look not only at the injured joint, but at where the problem originates, whether that is with a tilt in the pelvis, abnormal gait (walking cycle), spinal misalignment or, for example, with acquired weakness in the foot leading to excessive pronation and a drop in the arch. Furthermore, the whole person is treated at the Magaziner Center, where a full discussion of diet, exercise, lifestyle, and supplementation is reviewed. We employ medical weight management programs if necessary … Continue reading →

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) November 25, 2013 The top Phoenix stem cell treatment clinic, Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute, is now offering regenerative medicine treatments for knee arthritis and cartilage defects. These stem cell injection and PRP therapy treatments may help patients avoid the need for surgery and are administered by Board Certified Phoenix pain management doctors. For more information and scheduling, call (602) 507-6550. Over the past few years, there has been rising interest in regenerative medicine which may help alter the course of one's arthritis, as opposed to simply masking pain like a "band aid". Treatments with stem cells and platelet rich plasma therapy have the potential to do just that, by alleviating pain and re-growing deficient cartilage. Small published studies have shown promising results for the stem cell treatments, which include using amniotic derived, stem cell rich material for the injections. Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute also uses bone marrow derived and fat derived stem cell injections, which harvest the stem cell substance from the patient. The procedures are low risk, outpatient and performed by Board Certified pain doctors. The additional treatment is platelet rich plasma therapy, known as PRP therapy for short. The treatment involves a simple … Continue reading →

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 08, 2013 The top stem cell injection clinic in Phoenix, Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute, is now offering a back pain research study with amniotic derived stem cell injections. The research project allows the treatment for back pain to be subsidized, with patients receiving the Phoenix stem cell treatment at a significantly lower cost than available at other clinics. For enrollment consideration, call (602) 507-6550. Back pain affects ninety percent of individuals at some point, with an unfortunate few developing chronic pain. Most pain management to date has involved treatments designed to mask pain, but not actually change the course of the condition. Stem cell therapy for back pain has the potential to alter arthritis while reducing pain as well. Amniotic derived stem cell injections do not involve fetal tissue or embryonic stem cells, so there are no ethical concerns. The material is processed at an FDA regulated lab, and has been used over 10,000 times in the US with no adverse events noted. For the stem cell back pain research study at Arizona Pain, the project is prospective but nor randomized, so each patient obtains the stem cell injection. The treatments are administered by Double … Continue reading →

One of the most exciting recent developments in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal conditions is the use of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Drs. Tortland & Kozar were the first in New England to offer this treatment and they remain the region's leaders in office-based stem cell treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to become other, more specialized types of cells. Stem cells are broadly categorized as either "embryonic" or "adult." As the name implies, embryonic stem cells are derived from human fetuses, whereas adult stem cells are obtained from, well, adults! Currently there are over 70 proven therapies using adult stem cells, while there are none using embryonic stem cells. This is in part because scientists have had tremendous difficulty controlling how embryonic stem cells differentiate; they have a nasty habit of causing tumor formation, including teratomas. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, do not suffer from this pitfall. Mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs, are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including: osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells) and adipocytes (fat cells). This has been demonstrated in ex vivo cultures and in vitro or in … Continue reading →

Top ranked UFC womens bantamweight contender Cat Zingano lost her opportunity to coach opposite champion Ronda Rousey on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. Her spot on the series instead went to Miesha Tate, whom Zingano defeated in her last trip to the Octagon. Now, several months later, Zinganos right knee is healing well, but shes dealing with an injured meniscus in her left knee due to overcompensation during her rehabilitation. Zingano has a strong distaste for the crutches she was supposed to be utilizing while her right knee healed, and it cost her some damage to her left knee. Zingano recently had a stem-cell procedure done on her left knee to help speed recovery without the invasive nature of traditional surgery. My physical therapy is going super well, she told MMAWeekly.com on Monday. Everything is right on track. About a month ago, I had some stem cell injections. They took fat out of my body and they spun it and they shot it back into my knees and I feel really, really good. The procedure, known as Regenerative Injection Therapy, uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections with … Continue reading →
