uestions

Regenerative medicine treatments, such as adult stem cell therapies, bolster our bodies natural healing processes, helping them to work more rapidly and more effectively.

What is adult stem cell?Two types of adult stem cells exist in our bodies in order to replenish dying cells and regenerate healthy tissue. These cells have the capability to de-velop into many types of cells including bone, tendon, muscle, cartilage and blood cells.

How do adult stems work?When tissue injury occurs, molecular signals are sent out. These signals are responsible for guiding the stem cells to the area of injury and instructing them to copy themselves and develop into the cells required to repair the injured tissue.

How are adult stem cells collected, processed and delivered back to the patient?Bone marrow is a rich source of adult stem cells, as well as, anti-inflammato-ry proteins and molecular signals. The pelvis (hip) is one of the most con-venient locations for the physician to perform an aspiration. Once the bone marrow aspirate is col-lected, it is processed in a specifically designed medical device that sepa-rates and concentrates the cells. They are then delivered back to the patient at the point of injury.

Will my body reject the adult stem cells?Because these procedures use the patient’s own cells, there is little to no risks associated with its use.

Common Treatment Sites

- Rotator Cuff Injuries- Tendonitis / Tendon Injuries- Muscle Injuries- Ligament Sprains or Tears- Bursitis- Osteoarthritis- Tennis / Golfer’s Elbow

- Plantar Fasciitis- Shin Splints- Ankle Sprains- Achilles Tendonitis

What is a Stem Cell?Mesenchymal stem cells are early stage cells that are able to self replicate; and under the right conditions are able to develop into other types of cells which have the potential to regenerate damaged tissues.
