Stem cells are cells that have the potential to develop into a range of different cell types. They are found in all tissues in the body and assist in healing after injury.
Stem cell therapy uses your own cells to repair or reduce inflammation within your body. Stem cells are injected into your damaged joint or areas of pain. They can also be injected into the blood stream or spinal fluid to treat certain medical conditions.
The repair of the area can usually be felt within weeks and many studies show significant reduction in pain that may last for many years, for a variety of injuries.
Following a stem cell procedure you may experience some mild soreness and heavy exertion should be avoided during this time.
