Thank you for your interest in our Regenerative treatment. We offer Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) which are autologous Bone Marrow-Derived MSCs (self-donated, not cultured or expanded).

Regenerative treatments utilizing Mesenchymal Stem Cells do not require FDA approval and are available outside of a study. The following is just a brief summary of our Regenerative treatments.

Quarterly rate of suspected opioid overdose, by US region
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.10

This issue has become a public health crisis with devastating consequences including increases in opioid misuse and related overdoses, as well as the rising incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome due to opioid use and misuse during pregnancy. The increase in injection drug use has also contributed to the spread of infectious diseases including HIV and hepatitis C. As seen throughout the history of medicine, science can be an important part of the solution in resolving such a public health crisis.

ABOUT REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

Stem Cell Institute Regenerative Treatment Options

The use of stem cells holds the promise of making regenerative medicine a reality for the treatment of degenerative and traumatic conditions. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote the formation of bone, cartilage, ligament/tendon, and dermal tissues. MSCs are available from many sources including autologous (self donated) bone marrow aspiration, adipose-derived and dental pulp (the center part of the tooth made up of connective tissue and cells).

Autologous Bone Marrow-Derived Cells (BMC)

The use of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (BMC) as a stem cell preparation is a simple and safe way of utilizing the regenerative potential of stem cells to affect tissue regeneration. This is a 30 minute office-based procedure utilizing the patient’s own cells harvested through the iliac crest (hip). The bone marrow aspirate is run through a centrifuge during which the cells are separated and captured. Once separated, the concentrated cells are injected into the painful disc or joint.

PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelets – obtained by a simple blood draw – are tiny cells that contain thousands of growth factors that control and regulate your natural healing process by recruiting stem cells to the injured site. By concentrating the growth factors (cytokines) and injecting them at the site of injury or pain, healing can be achieved over the span of two to three months. We call this procedure platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which takes fewer than 30 minutes to conduct at our facility.

Benefits of having follow-up treatment with PRP

Platelets stimulate the regeneration of the stem cells. This treatment would be beneficial two to six weeks following stem cell injections to provide your body with a natural boost to continue the stem cell signaling process.
