Stem Cell Therapy at Revitalize Life Center
Stem cell therapy is a form of alternative medicine used to accelerate healing, stimulate tissue growth, and relieve pain. The stem cells that naturally regenerate tissues inside your body can be extracted and used in stem cell therapy.
Revitalize Life Center is a cutting-edge provider of regenerative medicine, offering Stem Cell Treatment and platelet-rich plasma to effectively heal many types of injuries and diseases. If you have questions or you’d like to learn whether you’re a good candidate for Stem Cell Therapy, call us to book your appointment.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability to regenerate and convert into differentiated cells, producing various types of tissues. Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be found in a person’s blood, bone marrow, or adipose tissue (fat). Adipose fat tissue is an abundant source of Stem cells. The best quality adipose cells are derived from the use of collagens to breakdown the extracted fat. Autologous cells from a person’s own fat are easy to harvest safely under local anesthesia and on average produce quantities up to 2,500 times those seen in bone marrow. Bone marrow stem cell extractions are quite painful and carry a higher risk of infection.
How Can Stem Cell Therapy Benefit Me?
The higher the number of cells, the greater the probability of patient success treating anything ranging from antibiotic tendon damage to fibromyalgia. Once these adipose derived cells are given back into the patient through IV infusion or joint injection, they have the potential to repair damaged human tissue by influencing healing. Examples of these cells are bone, cartilage, nerves, fat, muscle, vessel walls, ligaments, and organ tissue. Stem cells’ ability to form bone and cartilage makes them potentially highly effective in the treatment of degenerative orthopedic conditions. Their ability to form new blood vessels and other tissues makes them suitable for modifying a large number of traumatic and degenerative conditions. In a recent study research showed that cells from adipose tissue, injected with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), could regenerate cartilage-like tissue in human osteoarthritis (OA) patients.1
Multiple case studies show significant improvement in patient pain and mobility levels after stem cell administration in the joints. Mesenchymal cells have resulted in pain and functional improvement in a number of preclinical and clinical trials. Importantly, recent limited case series evidence has shown regrowth of cartilage volume and disease modification following cell injections.2 A case series of 339 patients, reporting that of those patients requiring total knee replacement (69 %) only 6.9 % still required replacement surgery after cell therapy. Sixty percent of patients reported greater than 50% pain relief and 40% reported >75 % pain relief at 11 months.3 Base on this clinical data, we believe in offering cell therapy to minimize the need for surgical intervention in Osteoarthritic patients.
More About Stem Cell Therapy
Cell Research Information:
Several studies have demonstrated that stem cells can improve functional recovery after a stroke in rats. This recovery occurs when the MSCs are delivered by IV infusion 24 hours post-stroke. In addition, delayed delivery of cells, even up until one month post-stroke, can also improve long-term functional outcome. Multiple studies are making the association with improved motor function, improved memory, neural cell replacement, & anti-inflammatory effects. Mesenchymal Stem Cells have been shown to be still effective when administered 1 week after Traumatic Brain Injury.
Four major studies on Mesenchymal Stem Cells and wound healing show histological findings with enhanced wound healing compared to control treatment. This can be beneficial for millions of individuals suffering from chronic ulcers and wounds.
In recent case studies, cells showed good therapeutic potential for treatment of Multiple Sclerosis with Lyme Disease. Improvement in walking ability, muscle strength, balance, fatigue, and MRI imaging were all noted within this study. cells show promising results in the treatment of Lyme Disease and Multiple Sclerosis combined with a comprehensive approach to natural medicine.
Our network has anecdotal and experimental evidence that stem cell therapy can be effective in healing and regeneration. Stem cells look for damaged tissues, which naturally heal the body. In an effort to provide symptom relief for patients suffering from certain degenerative diseases that are not improving from common modalities of treatment, our network has launched investigational studies of treatment effectiveness with adipose stem cell harvesting. This technological breakthrough allows patients to safely receive millions of their own autologous cells. All of our sterile procedures are non-invasive and done under local anesthesia. Revitalize Life Center in collaboration with The Cell Surgical Network is proud to be a world-class facility offering Stem Cell treatment for patients looking for cutting edge therapies to improve their lives.
What Can Stem Cell Therapy Do?
Stem cells therapy can help treat multiple sclerosis, hair loss, and more. have the unique ability to self-replicate and differentiate, or develop, into many different cells. Throughout your lifetime, adult stem cells maintain your health by replacing old cells and repairing damaged tissues. Some types of adult stem cells produce specific cells and tissues. Others, such as mesenchymal stem cells, can divide and replicate into multiple tissues.
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?
When you have a disease or injury, stem cells travel to the damaged area and release substances that rebuild the types of cells needed for your body to heal. Cell injections take advantage of this regenerative ability.
When a concentrated amount of stem cells is injected at the site of your injured tissues, the injected cells jump into action, doing their natural job: triggering new cell growth to heal the area.
Mesenchymal stem cells are often used during stem cell therapy because they:
Replicate to produce diverse tissues such as bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles
Reduce inflammation and relieve pain
Promote new cell growth
Increase blood vessel growth
Secrete growth factors
Trigger protein growth
The combined effect of stem cells results in accelerated wound healing and regeneration of damaged tissues.
Where Do Adult Stem Cells Come From?
The adult stem cells used for your therapy come from your own body. Fat cells are rich sources of mesenchymal stem cells. Revitalize Life Center can remove a small sample of your fat, process it in the office to remove mesenchymal stem cells, then use those cells for your injection.
What Conditions Are Treated With Stem Cell Therapy?
Cell therapy is frequently used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, such as damaged cartilage; muscle, ligament, and tendon tears; and inflammatory joint conditions like arthritis and bursitis.
Facial Rejuvenation using stem cells has led to incredible transformations. Many studies are testing the efficacy of stem cell therapy for treating illnesses such as fibromyalgia, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, inflammatory bowel disease, complex regional pain syndrome, and chronic pelvic pain.
Stem Cell Therapy Studies
In a study conducted by the team at the Cell Surgical Network, preliminary results show dramatically improved brain cognition in rats receiving IV stem cell therapy deployment after a traumatic induced brain injury. Multiple studies are showing improved motor function, improved memory, neural cell replacement, & anti-inflammatory regulation. Mesenchymal Cells have been shown to be still effective when administered 1 week after Traumatic Brain Injury.
Combining cells with lipid lowering supplements significantly enhanced vessel-to-tissue ratio in animals treated with a combination therapy. Newly proliferating vascular endothelial cells are known to produce an array of growth factors, which can promote the survival of mesenchymal cells. These published and recognized studies show significant improvement post-concussion and can be made available to professional athletes in the UFC and NFL for instance that are prone to concussions.
