Stem Cell Therapy Can Work in as Little as 2 to 12 Weeks! Under optimal conditions, a stem cell therapy for one of these types of disorders can work in as little as two to 12 weeks with further pain reduction continuing up to a year or more!
Q. Why is stem cell so expensive?
Stem Cell Therapy Procedures The cost of stem cell therapy is indeed expensive, especially because the procedures are rarely covered by health insurance.
Q. How long does it take for immune system to recover after stem cell transplant?
It usually takes 3 to 12 months for your immune system to recover from your transplant. The first year after transplant is like your first year of life as a newborn baby. During this time, you’re at risk for infection. Your transplant team will check your blood cell counts to see how well your immune system is working.
Q. Does platelet rich plasma contain stem cells?
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (known as PRP) is also a non-surgical injection treatment. It differs from stem cells in that it uses the healing factors found in blood plasma to heal degenerative or acute damage in joints.
Q. How long does platelet-rich plasma last?
Many people also wonder how long PRP injections last. There have been studies done to suggest that PRP injections can be effective for 6-9 months.
Q. Can PRP regrow cartilage?
The PRP accelerates and boosts healing, so your body can actually repair significant amounts of damage that it can’t handle by itself. Research has shown that PRP can actually help you regenerate cartilage that’s been degraded by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Q. Are stem cell injections painful?
Stem cell treatments for back, knee, shoulder or joint pain serve as a perfect alternative to an invasive surgery that would require rehabilitation afterward. Our relatively painless procedure takes only 90 minutes and has far fewer risks and side effects than those associated with a complicated surgery.
Q. What diseases can stem cells cure?
People who might benefit from stem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, stroke, burns, cancer and osteoarthritis.
Q. Do stem cells help arthritis?
Successful stem cell therapies thus far have resulted mostly in pain relief and improvement in function or quality of life. Only a few limited early studies have demonstrated improvement in new cartilage or bone formation needed to cure arthritis.
Q. Can Stem Cells Help hip arthritis?
Stem cells are unique in that they can develop into any type of cell—for example, cells that help repair damaged tissue. When injected into an arthritic hip, stem cells may encourage the damaged cartilage to regrow and heal. Injections of stem cells also reduce inflammation.
