The Benefits of Umbilical Stem Cell Treatment
The Regen Life works with doctors who utilize stem cells that are exclusively derived from donor umbilical cord tissue (from what would otherwise be discarded tissue), resulting in the production of young and healthy stem cells. As opposed to other extraction methods that may contain embryonic tissue or adult stem cells derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue, stem cells are derived from the safest and least invasive method available.
Umbilical cord cells offer the greatest regenerative properties, offering both stem cells and growth factors to help aid in tissue healing and repair. The stem cells do not contain any proteins that would cause rejection in the body or pose a risk of susceptibility to malignant transformation.
We use the highest quality standards to produce its regenerative medicine products including FDA cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) and GTP (Good Tissue Practices) standards.
Stem Cell Therapy Research & Applications
Stem cell therapy is currently being used to treat a number of medical conditions. The most common use in clinical practice is to help joint function such as the knees. In addition, published clinical studies have found stem cell therapy to be successful for the following conditions:
- Arthritis
- Bone fractures
- Intervertebral disc degeneration (neck and back pain)
- Heart disease including coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, congestive heart failure, and ischemic cardiomyopathy
- Autoimmune conditions including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
Umbilical cord cells offer the greatest regenerative properties, offering both stem cells and growth factors to help aid in tissue healing and repair. The stem cells do not contain any proteins that would cause rejection in the body or pose a risk of susceptibility to malignant transformation.
As research in the field of stem cells continues to grow, it is bringing great hope to people suffering from a wide array of chronic and degenerative diseases. Whether it is for activating cartilage repair in the knees for osteoarthritis or restoring normal function to beta cells in the pancreas in patients with diabetes, stem cell therapy holds promise for those looking to improve their health and quality of life.
What to Expect During Stem Cell Treatment
Stem cell treatment at any of our partnered facilities is a simple, in-office procedure that requires no anesthesia or downtime. Preceding your stem cell therapy session, you will meet with a dcotor to discuss your health concerns to determine if stem cell therapy is the most suitable treatment option for you.
If umbilical stem cell therapy is elected, the doctor will inject the donor umbilical cord cells into the area requiring regeneration. We routinely add PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to all our stem cell injections to enhance the outcome. The stem cells and growth factors immediately go to work, helping to regenerate and repair tissue. It can take 2-3 months for full regeneration to occur; however, results may vary. Our doctor may recommend complementary therapies (Nitric Oxide (Neo 40)/ Stemkine) or lifestyle modifications pertaining to diet and physical activity in conjunction with stem cell therapy.
