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.

This therapeutic approach to improving one's range of mobility and physical functions involves the use of cells that are harvested from a patient's own blood or bone marrow. Before the procedure begins, the doctor will take a sample of blood or marrow directly from the patient. This sample will then go through a centrifugal process to separate the cells.

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.

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.

Similarly, you cannot go through the treatment if you have an illness like diabetes or hemophilia because you could bleed uncontrollably and develop an infection or lose a lot of blood. High blood pressure that is not controlled and heart disease likewise may disqualify you from the procedure. You generally are expected to be in relatively good overall health.

Last, the ideal patient for the injections must be in good overall mental health and have realistic expectations for his or her recovery. These injections do not have the ability to reverse debilitating and disabling illnesses like multiple sclerosis. However, it could relieve the worst symptoms of ailments like arthritis. You could regain much if not all of your former range of movement without suffering pain, stiffness, and other aches and pains you currently suffer from now.

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.
