Stem Cell Therapy has become a commonly used term to describe a form of regenerative medicine. However, many of the procedures that are marketed as “stem cell therapy”, utilize amniotic or umbilical cord products, which have been shown to contain no live stem cells. The procedures are often performed by practitioners with little training and without imaging guidance.
At PhysioLogic, we utilize Bone Marrow Concentrate (which contains stem cells), derived from your own body. We are part of the Regenexx Network, which uses the most advanced interventional orthopedic protocols and are focused on producing the best possible results for our patients. These procedures utilize bone marrow concentrate, platelet-rich plasma, or platelet lysate to improve function and reduce pain related to orthopedic injuries and arthritis.
Regenexx Physicians represent a very selective, highly-skilled, interventional orthobiologics network that is 100% focused on orthopedic conditions. All Regenexx physicians are musculoskeletal experts with extensive training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, as well as complex, image-guided injections of your body’s own healing agents to treat orthopedic issues.
Understanding Stem Cells:
Stem Cells are the only cells in the body able to morph into other types of specialized cells. Stem cells are found in many parts of the body, with high concentrations in the bone marrow available from a specific location of the pelvis (hip bone) called the iliac crest.
These repair cells live inside all of us in various tissues, poised to leap into action to repair damage as it occurs. As we age or have big injuries, we may not be able to recruit enough of these cells to the site to fully repair the area. The Regenexx-SD Procedure helps overcome this problem by harvesting Bone Marrow from the iliac crest and then concentrating those cells before precisely injecting them into the injured area using advanced imaging guidance. The goal of the procedure is to reduce pain and improve function by promoting the body’s own ability to heal naturally. This Patented Bone Marrow Concentrate Protocol can be used for a wide range of orthopedic conditions. At PhysioLogic, we will evaluate your condition and your imaging to determine whether a bone marrow concentrate or a platelet-based treatment such as PRP is the best option for your orthopedic condition.
There have been numerous clinical studies that show a significant and lasting reduction in pain for a variety of injuries. Regenexx Procedures can be used to treat injured or degenerating ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and even bone. The Regenexx Network openly publishes patient results from their outcomes database.
With regenerative procedures, there may be mild soreness in the joint for up to a week after the procedure. Heavy exertion should be avoided during this period. Anti-inflammatory products such as aspirin, Motrin, Advil, and Aleve should be avoided for the first 2 weeks as it can adversely affect cell function. We recommend taking Tylenol instead.
