Stem cell therapy harnesses the remarkable regenerative properties of stem cells to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Stem cells, the body’s master cells with the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, hold immense potential for tissue regeneration and repair when administered strategically in areas of injury or degeneration. Stem cell therapy injects stem cells into an area of injury, such as an arthritic knee, to help initiate a natural healing process and create new healthy cells. Stem cell therapy offers a natural, minimally invasive treatment alternative to traditional surgery, often with less recovery time. Stem cells are naturally occurring cells in the body but are different from most other types of cells because they are multi-potent, which means they can develop (“differentiate”) into a wide variety of specialized cell types including muscle, tendon and cartilage. Stem cells are categorized as either embryonic (derived from a fetus) or as adult (found in the human body). Adult stem cells grow in abundance in bone marrow and fat, but can also be found in smaller quantities in most tissue.
