At First Choice Integrated Healthcare, we want to help our patients feel their best. Regenerative Medicine treatments can be a great way to accomplish that goal. Stem cell therapy is just one of those possible regenerative treatments. This is just one interesting form of integrated medicine that our chiropractic team is happy to speak with you about.
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine, also called stem cell therapy, uses a type of cell that is undifferentiated or hasn’t chosen a “job” in the body yet. When placed into damaged joints and tissues, it helps aid your body heal. It is not a form of primary care, but when paired with other therapies in the office it can assist repairing damage that has been done.
Is Stem Cell Therapy Safe as a Major Medical Procedure?
Stem cell therapy is safe. There have been over 100 years of documents recorded looking into the safety of using amniotic treatment using stem cells from a donor. In that time, there has been no reported incident of rejection, because the amniotic tissues do not have HLA-type antigens. Stem cells have been shown to have anti-tumorigenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties.
What Conditions Can Be Treated with Stem Cell Therapy?
Some conditions that stem cell therapy can treat include:
- Joint problems
- Tissue damage
Primarily, regenerative medicine is used in the joints, such as the ankles, shoulders, wrists, hips, and knees to repair damaged tissues, but physicians can evaluate you and decide if a certain area of pain or discomfort would benefit from stem cell therapy.
