Cellular Therapy: Promising Alternative Treatment for Pain and Arthritis

January 14, 2022

The history of regenerative medicine goes back to 1981 when British researcher Martin Evans identified stem cells in mice at the University of Cambridge (now Cardiff University). Cellular therapy has recently had a major breakthrough within the medical field, and orthopedics in particular, because of the potential for these stem cells to cure arthritis pain and pain from other orthopedic injuries.

Cellular therapy is a procedure that introduces new cells directly into an injured area or joint, promoting the growth of healthy tissue. Cellular therapy requires no surgery and relieves pain while stimulating your body to repair itself and heal faster.

The stem cells (usually placental-derived mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs) are prepared and injected directly into the area of pain or injury in your joint, muscle, ligament, or tendon. Depending on the severity of your problem, a local anesthetic might be given to reduce pain during the procedure.

You ask, is cellular therapy right for me? Whether you are a candidate for cellular therapy typically depends on your diagnosis and health status. However, research shows that this alternative to orthopedic surgery can work for many people.

The future of stem cells is a promising one. With thousands of studies and trials, research shows that people of all ages can benefit from regenerative medicine. This treatment can relieve the pain of arthritis and chronic pain, heal injuries such as partial ligament and tendon tears, and help you avoid surgery. Consult with your doctor about cellular therapy today to see if this treatment is right for you.
