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 parts of the body where you experience the most pain and limited mobility. This area could be your upper or lower back, shoulders, knees, ankles, or anywhere else in the muscular or skeletal system. The injections are meant to be minimally uncomfortable. However, many patients are anxious about them anyway.

Before the injections are put in, the physician may use a numbing agent to prevent you from feeling any sensation. Without this agent, the injections could be painful. When the last injection is finished, your nurse will observe you for a few hours to watch for signs of distress like bleeding or pain. You could be discharged and permitted to go home to rest within a few hours after your treatment is finished.

Most patients go on to recover quickly and without any complications at all. Still, their success depends greatly on their overall physical condition and the absence of illnesses that could impede their recuperation. Despite being taken from your own body, the cells cannot be given to women who are expecting or nursing a baby, for instance.

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.
