5 Things You Need To Know About Stem Cell Therapy

November 20, 2017

If you’re into baseball, it’s quite likely that is the first time you heard about stem cell therapy. Last year, professional baseball pitchers, Andrew Heaney and Garrett Richards, underwent stem cell therapy for treating torn ulnar collateral ligaments.

But, this innovative medical procedure isn’t designed for treating sports injuries only. In fact, stem cell therapy can be used for a number of minor and major health conditions.

For those new to stem cell therapy, here is some basic information about it:

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

The human body has numerous stem cells. Think of them as your body’s raw materials. The cells are responsible for promoting the healing of torn or damaged tissue. They also reduce inflammation and restore the balance of the tissues.

Stem cell therapy is essentially a non-invasive medical procedure involving the stem cells. During the procedure, a patient’s own stem cells are used for repairing, treating or preventing a disease.

Stem cells are derived from one part of the body and then injected into another part.

Where Are Stem Cells Extracted From?

Stem cells can be removed from one or two areas of the body, such as the upper abdomen. Depending on the stem cells a doctor uses, they can determine the extraction location.

The extracted sample is then injected into the damaged body part.

Who Needs Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cell therapy is designed to repair damaged tissue and promote natural healing of injuries. Apart from  muscular and generalized pain, stem cell therapy can be used to treat a wide range of health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Dementia) and breathing and lung problems.

Is It Safe?

As a non-surgical procedure, stem cell therapy doesn’t have any side effects. It can alleviate chronic pain and injuries. The procedure can be performed in about 1-2 hours.

How Long Should You Wait to See The Results?

In most cases, patients tend to notice favorable results a couple of days after the procedure.

But, it’s extremely important to choose a reliable stem cell therapy clinic to ensure successful outcome.
