Qualifying For Stem Cell Rejuvenation Therapy

By Steven Cook


The orthopedic medicine specialty has benefited from the newest technology and treatments in recent years. Procedures that were once invasive and painful are now relatively easy and fast thanks to innovations like laser technology and three-dimensional printing. Out of all of the advancements, the use of stem cell rejuvenation therapy stands out as one that perhaps has helped the most patients. You can decide if this treatment is right for you by learning what it is and what qualifications you are expected to meet as a patient.

When used correctly, this treatment has the ability to improve the way that you move and carry out everyday functions. It begins with your doctor taking a sample of your blood or bone marrow tissue from the hip bone. This sample is then put into a centrifuge machine that will separate the blood from the cells that are needed for the procedure.

These cells are then injected into the patient's body in the area where improvement is most needed. These areas can include the spine or vertebrae as well as knees, ankles, shoulders, and skin tissue. The injections are minimally painful and rarely cause complications because the material being used comes from the patient's own body.

To relieve your distress, the doctor doing the procedure may numb the area first with a gel or ointment. Once you are numb, you may then receive anywhere from one to three or four injections of cells combined with saline solution or steroid medication. You will stay in the operating room or doctor's office for an hour or less to make sure you do not have any complications to your recovery.

However, your total recovery depends significantly on you meeting the outlined patient criteria. To start, the ideal candidate for the injections should not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Women who are pregnant or nursing are generally encouraged to wait until after they have given birth or weaned their babies before going through the treatment.

Likewise, patients are required not to suffer from underlying conditions that could complicate their recoveries. These conditions range from high blood pressure to heart disease and diabetes as well as bleeding disorders like hemophilia. If you have these illnesses, you may be denied for treatment and instead advised to consider other procedures.

This overall good health extends to your mental and emotional capacities as well. It is likely that you will be totally cured with the injections. You may notice rapid improvement in the range of motion you have as well as the amount of pain you experience each day. Still, you will continue to suffer from conditions like MS or osteoarthritis despite the procedure. Your physician will expect you to acknowledge this fact before approving you for treatment.

Stem cell therapy could be your answer to feeling better each day. This procedure calls for you to be in good overall health. You can check the criteria before you undergo the treatment and find out if you have a good chance of recovering well without any complications to your body or overall wellness.
