Regenerative Cell Therapy Studio City
Regenerative medicine uses cutting-edge technology to harvest mesenchymal stem cells that give the body additional tools for the healing process. The team at ProHealth Physical Medicine in Studio City, California offers regenerative medicine to assist repair of damaged tissues and decrease inflammation. Patients around the greater Los Angeles area are encouraged to make an appointment to discuss if regenerative medicine can benefit them.
Regenerative Cell Therapy Q & A
The cells used in regenerative medicine come from perinatal tissues of healthy, full-term pregnancies who are pre-screened for health. Once these tissues are harvested, they’re taken to a lab where the requested cells in the tissues are isolated, prepared for use, and stored until they’re needed. These cells can include endothelial cells, pericytes, active biologics, growth factors,cytokines, and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).
ProHealth Physical Medicine uses products from a company with an FDA registered tissue bank to obtain a reputable product. They use proprietary methods to preserve their products which promotes cell survival and viability. The products are safe, effective, and appropriate for patient use.
Stem cells are a special type of cells found in almost all tissues of the body with two essential properties. First, they can self-renew, continuously dividing to create exact replicas of themselves. Unlike typical cells, which have limited lifespans, stem cells persistently regenerate. Second, stem cells can differentiate into specialized cell types to replenish or repair specific tissues. They exist throughout the body and play a crucial role in maintaining and repairing tissues after injury. For instance, hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow produce all blood and immune cells, while basal stem cells support skin cell regeneration. Researchers study stem cells to understand disease development and explore regenerative medicine applications.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are essentially blank slates: they can differentiate into various cell types, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat cells, depending on the signals they receive from the environment. MSCs can also secrete anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory factors that can reduce inflammation, prevent tissue damage, and promote tissue regeneration.
With regenerative medicine, a specially formulated combination of cells and growth factors is injected into an injured area of your body. This can stimulate the creation of your natural tissue matrix and establish a regenerative microenvironment.
There are many possible benefits to using regenerative medicine over traditional methods. Regenerative products have been used over the last century on damaged tissues. Other possible benefits of regenerative medicine may include:
- Allowing for the avoidance of steroids
- Allowing for the reduction/dis-use of pain medications
- Delaying surgery
- Reduction of inflammation
- Immunomodulatory factors reducing the risk of infection
- Hyaluronic acid
- Reduction in recovery time
Regenerative medicine is safe in almost every situation related to joint and muscle pain. If you want to avoid taking medications or having surgery, make an appointment to learn how regenerative medicine may help you.
ProHealth Physical Medicine is well-versed in the advantages of using regenerative medicine products for patients who suffer from chronic pain.
