TREATMENTS

There are two problems with this scenario that stem cell therapy can fix. The first is the time frame. Stem cell therapy may halve the time necessary to heal these injuries.

The second problem is that ligament injuries, when allowed to heal naturally, do not heal back to 100%. The same goes for tendon injury. With repetitive injury, the chances for it continuing to occur increase. With stem cell therapy, the injury may be able to heal back to 100%.

Regenerative treatments may permit patients to avoid or delay the need for surgery when it comes to rotator cuff tendonitis, Achilles tears, degenerative arthritis and more. Surgery requires considerable rehabilitation and the potential for complications.

With such a low risk, outpatient stem cell procedures offer a tremendous upside. Make your appointment at Optimize Medical Group today!

Umbilical cord stem cell therapy in Beverly Hills has significant potential for providing pain relief, by significantly reducing inflammation, bringing in new blood flow and providing structural support for damaged tissues. Umbilical derived stem cell material offers three properties that are beneficial to the injured area:

1) A very high concentration of stem cells
2) Anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors
3) Hyaluronic acid which is a great lubricating factor for joints

When the umbilical cord stem cell therapy is performed, it comes from consenting donors who have undergone elective c-sections. The material is processed at an FDA registered, cGMP compliant lab, and is checked for a full slate of diseases. The umbilical cord tissue has been used worldwide in over 22,000 procedures by R3 with no significant adverse events reported.

During your procedure, the stem cell doctor will inject the umbilical cord tissue after sterilizing the area. Along with the umbilical cord tissue, numbing medicine is included.

Initial studies are showing that umbilical cord stem cell injections work well for the following indications:

1) Tendonitis
2) Ligament Injury
3) Arthritis
4) Sports Medicine Injuries
5) Cartilage Defects
6) Degenerative Disc Disease
7) Spinal Arthritis
8) Neck & Back Pain
9) Nonhealing wounds from diabetes or other conditions

However, as we age, our native stem cells become much less active, and also there are a reduced quantity available to assist in tissue damage repair.

Exosomes are not cells. Rather, they are byproducts of mesenchymal stem cells that assist with cell to cell communication. In essence, they help to facilitate healing as a supervisor, or foreman is a good term.

Exosomes

Exosomes are 1000 times smaller than stem cell cells. Their focus is on paracrine signaling, which is the medical term for cell to cell communication. They are able to tell a cell “hey look you are sick, you need to reprogram yourself, and here’s how to do it.” So they are very helpful in facilitating the body’s OWN healing response, whereas, it would not occur otherwise!

Exosomes have become incredibly popular because they are being shown to be very effective, safe and reliable. While they are not FDA approved, they are legal to use and the decision to incorporate them is made between the provider and the patient. 

Why Use Exosomes?

Tissues such as muscle, ligaments, tendon, cartilage, and vertebral discs show limited capacity for endogenous repair, unlike bone. This is the main reason why the push for regenerative injections exists. Exosome therapy is being developed to improve the efficiency of repair and/or regeneration of damaged musculoskeletal tissue. The target is to introduce growth factors and pull stem cells into the affected tissues to promote regeneration of the affected area.

Also, exosomes have been great for aesthetics due to their ability to facilitate hair growth, collagen production and promote new blood flow.

The Bottom Line

Exosome therapy in Beverly Hills with R3 has been incredibly effective. To find out how exosome therapy can help you or a loved one, call today to set up your free consultation.

How is PRP being used in Orthopedics?

When there is injury to one of the soft tissues, ligaments, or muscles within the body, the body sends what is known as platelets to the damaged area. When the platelets reach the damaged area, they work to repair the structure and regenerate new cells within it. While the body performs this task on its own, it can occur at a much faster rate when PRP is applied to the area in its compressed form.

Studies being done on PRP in orthopedics have shown that this type of therapy can be beneficial in many body regions for the patient, especially when the platelets are placed correctly within the areas that need to be treated. There are over 30 bioactive proteins in PRP, which are extremely active for healing damaged tissue.

About the Repair Response

The first phase of healing involves inflammation. When PRP is administered to a damaged joint or soft tissue area, it sparks up the inflammation and hence, the healing cycle.

PRP includes concentrated platelets (billions of them) along with a dozen different growth factors. They are instrumental in calling in the body’s own stem cells for repair. This is called “chemotaxis”, and helps to repair damaged cartilage, ligaments, tendons.

Questions about PRP in Orthopedics

While PRP therapy has shown to be effective, it is not appropriate for use in all patients. Prior to using this form of therapy, the patient’s case must be evaluated, and the therapy benefits must be weighed with the pros against the cons. For patients who do make good candidates for the therapy, PRP therapy can be extremely effective in offering pain relief, and also providing long-term healing, which could lead to successful recovery.

End Results of PRP

For those suffering with issues with soft tissue injuries to tendons or ligaments, cartilage defects or degenerative arthritis, PRP therapy can be effective for treating these problems.
