Regenerative Medicine through
Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Over time body tissues tend to decrease in functionality due to age, injury, and disease. When we are born, our body is equipped to repair and replace damaged tissues through differentiation of inherent stem cells. However, as we age, our body loses its ability to repair efficiently. As we lose this ability, symptoms such as this ability, symptoms such as prolonged healing time, accelerated cellular aging, joint paint, and arthritis are the results. Fortunately, our body is able to accept and use stem cells through regenerative medicine. More specifically, "Mesenchymal Stem Cells" and their byproducts cooperate with the body's natural healing functions to replenish, cushion, and provide support to areas of significant tissue damage.
As we know, our body loses its own store of stem cells as we age. This means we must outsource "mesenchymal stem cells." When cells are retrieved via donation, the regenerative products are injected into the damaged area to attract existing healthier cells and tissues. This process promotes the existing cells to operate at a higher level, thus boosting the body's repair mechanisms and adding the healing process.
This minimally invasive procedure is an in-office treatment that optimizes your healing potential. Regenerative medicine combats but not limited to shoulder, hip, knee, neck, and back pain.
Regenerative Medicine Benefits
-Natural
-Minimally invasive
-No adverse effects
-No chance of rejection
-No down time
-Much safer than surgery
Natural and Non-Invasive
Regenerative stem cells are retrieved from human tissue in the form of cellular allografts taken from the placenta and umbilical cord after a live, healthy birth. These tissues are donated by mothers who elect to be in the program. When the donated cells are injected into a damaged or deteriorated joint, the allograft stimulates the body to repair the damaged tissue resulting in improved joint space and function.
Safe Alternative
Regenerative Medicine treatments are natural and non-immunogenic; they have no immune cells, therefore there is no chance of rejection. In most cases, there is also very little or no down time. Regenerative medicine works great for chronic conditions but can also be very effective in acute injuries such sprains/strains, and partial tears of ligaments and muscles (rotator cuff).
TRADITIONAL TREATMENT QUESTIONS
Invasive Procedures Cost Money, Time & Health
Unfortunately, mainstream medical treatment seems to lead most patients to invasive joint replacement surgery. Over 600,000 people a year get knee replacements (1.). Often times medication is prescribed as a therapy that only covers up symptoms and allows continued wear and tear to occur. Surgeries also leave behind scar tissue that often becomes the seed for future deterioration of cartilage and other soft tissue until there is no more joint space. Before regenerative medicine was available replacement surgery was the inevitable next step.
Joint Replacement Surgery is No Longer Your Only Option
Joint replacement surgery is surely advanced medical science that helps thousands of patients get out of pain and continue to function, even after a complete joint failure. However, despite its success, most patients prefer to avoid it and most doctors advise waiting as long as possible to receive treatment. The procedure is extremely invasive and has high chances of complications; some patients are too frail or have too many co-morbidities to safely have joint replacement surgery and are left with no options.

TESTIMONIAL
• Carol Main
"I noticed improvement in my knee within a few days! It just continued to improve with time. Now that I just had my six-month checkup, I am back to full use of my knee! I don't have any knee pain and I can walk up to 2 miles and have been able to do all my gardening and yard work. So, I am a satisfied patient and recommend this procedure to others with joint problems. I also appreciate the friendly atmosphere and holistic approach at Active Health Clinic."
