Stem Cell

It takes several weeks for the biologic effects of stem cell therapy to be realized. Don’t forget, this is not a drug, but your own stem cells working to repair damage. Typically improvement is noticeable at approximately 4 weeks and continues for up to six months or longer after the treatment.

When you’re talking cells, numbers really do count! Companies selling donor stem cells base their literature on random product samples prior to freezing. There is no way of knowing what the stem cell count and viability is of the product you’re getting injected, unless a count and viability evaluation is done prior to your procedure. Doing our own testing for stem cell count and viability on donor cell injections, we have documented that they have a very low stem cell count (averaging in the thousands), and an even lower viability rate, (meaning most of those cells have already died). This drastically reduces any chance of a successful outcome. Using your own adult stem cells, (regardless of age) our count is in the millions with an average 95% viability rate, (meaning 95% on average are alive). It’s not thousands of primarily dead donor cells that can promote self-healing, but millions of your own living cells that have the greatest potential for a successful outcome.

Stem Cell Therapy has little to no recovery time. Patients should return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment. The time it takes for the patient to experience pain-relief is dependent on the degree of damage and each individual case. Using your own stem cells to facilitate healing takes time. Many patients begin to experience pain relief from 4 to 8 weeks following their procedure. Light exercise is encouraged immediately following your procedure, though patients should avoid repetitive, loading bearing exercise, such as weight lifting or running. Patients follow a post-procedure protocol, which has been designed by our integrated team of medical professionals, to allow the stem cells to do their work in an optimum environment. This encourages a high treatment success rate.

All medical procedures have risk factors. We take great care in minimizing any risk to the patient. Regenerative medicine applications are non-invasive, meaning nothing is added or taken away from your body. Because we only use your own stem cells, risk factors are minimized. All of our procedures are same day procedures and are performed on-site in our clinic and processed in our sterile lab. We use the latest state-of-the- art processing equipment and visual guidance equipment, such as C-arm Fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance. The procedure has minimal discomfort, such as the prick of a needle, and little to no recovery time. Normal activity, with an emphasis on physical therapy of the injured area, is encouraged following the procedure, to optimize a successful outcome.

Stem cells have theoretically endless possibilities. At Ultimate Medical Group our primary focus is using stem cell therapy in orthopedic applications, such as knees, degenerative discs, rotator cuffs or hips, cosmetic procedures, and hair restoration. Please call or request a New Patient Consultation to determine if stem cell therapy is the best course of treatment for your condition.

Regenerative medicine has the potential to fully heal damaged tissues, offering solutions and hope for people who are looking for a non-surgical or non-medicated approach to recovery. Our goal is to educate, counsel, and inform patients so that they can make an informed decision about whether stem cell treatment is right for them. Not all conditions, and not all patients will respond to stem cell therapy. Please schedule a consultation for more information. Each patient is unique and our clinic is uniquely equipped to provide a network of professionals, renowned in their fields, to develop a specialized course of treatment designed for you.
