Whatever the cause of your chronic pain, living with it can be utterly frustrating, especially if it has already deflected you from your athletic or fitness goals and affected your quality of life.
If you’re about to plunge into despair because you think you’ve already tried every treatment out there, but to no avail, don’t give up hope just yet—turn to one of our licensed chiropractors here at Reagan Integrated Sports Medicine. We use regenerative medicine approaches, notably stem cell therapy, to treat chronic pain associated with a vast variety of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.
Read on to learn more about how stem cell therapy can address your chronic pain and the specific conditions and injuries it treats.
Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Pain Treatment
Stem cells are essentially your body’s master cells— they are the building blocks of your blood, organs, and tissues. What sets them apart from the other types of cells in your body is their ability to reproduce and transform themselves into a different type of cell to serve a specific function.
At Reagan Integrated Sports Medicine, we utilize mesenchymal stem cells, which are obtained from donated umbilical cord tissue, specifically from the gelatinous substance inside it known as Wharton’s jelly.
It is worth noting that such type of stem cells is safely and painlessly collected during scheduled cesarean deliveries.
Once we inject the stem cells into the injured or diseased area, they then go to work to promote tissue repair and regeneration, reduce inflammation, and boost blood flow to the area, thereby alleviating chronic pain.
Instead of simply masking your symptoms, stem cell therapy leverages your body’s ability to heal itself and therefore address the problem at its root. The result is long-lasting pain relief.
What Can Stem Cell Therapy Treat?
Stem cell therapy has been used by chiropractors, sports medicine specialists, and other types of practitioners across various healthcare disciplines—either as a standalone treatment or an adjunct—for a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, many of which are culprits in chronic pain. These include:
- Arthritis (both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
- Bone problems
- Connective tissue disorders
- Degenerative disc disease
- Disc herniation
- Facet joint syndrome
- Foot injuries (e.g., plantar fasciitis, etc.)
- Knee injuries (e.g., cartilage damage, meniscus and ACL tears, etc.)
