Can Stem Cells help with spinal cord injuries?
One of the areas in which stem cell therapy has had the most success is with traumatic spinal cord injuries. These devastating injuries often cause severe neurological damage and patients often never fully recover. Fortunately, stem cell therapies can offer patients new options with increasingly positive outcomes.

The millions of cells that are transplanted in therapy are not only enough to revert the daily losses that have been occurring over the patient’s lifespan, but also able to cover cellular losses from trauma.

How do stem cells help you recover?
Stem cells are particularly useful in the regeneration of tissues that have poor potential for repair. More specifically, articular cartilage (found in elbows, knees, etc.) can’t be repair by the body, but nevertheless have short lifespans and wear out over time. Fortunately, stem cells (which orchestrate the body’s natural healing) have successfully been used to grow new articular tissue within joints. This treatment bypasses the need for painful and invasive joint replacement surgeries while significantly reducing recovery times.

Stem cells can also be used to regenerate the damaged tissue causing many bone, tendon, and ligament conditions. The transplanted cells naturally migrate to damaged areas in the body to replace damaged cells, regenerating lost or injured tissue.

Protocol
Our two-day protocol centers on the intrathecal transplant of stem cells: a minimum of 120 million cord tissue-derived MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) are injected directly into the spinal canal. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, is minimally invasive, and has very little downtime. Patients normally travel home two days following their scheduled appointment.

Treatment goals
Our protocol aims to reduce the overall levels of chronic low-grade inflammation in the body. The effects are expected to last for a very long time.

Stem cells are uniquely and intrinsically able to migrate to sites of damage and inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that stem cells are able to orchestrate the repair and regeneration of deteriorated tissues, as well as modulate the immune system, to promote better health.

Depending on the ailment or the patient’s initial condition, the benefits of stem cell therapy can include a reduction in harmful symptoms, the slowing of the progression of the disease, and an overall increase in quality of life.
