What Is Stem Cell Therapy? | Mountain Surgery Center
Mountain Surgery Center's research and equipment allow us to perform almost any surgery. Our facility specializes in spine surgery, orthopedic procedures, pain management, and injections. The physicians at MSC specialize in stem cell therapy, a non-invasive treatment that encourages the repair of injured or diseased tissue.
MSC is here to present you with more information on stem cell therapy including the history of this procedure, what types of conditions it is appropriate for, and its benefits.
Stem cell therapy, also recognized as a form of regenerative medicine, is considered one of the most important breakthroughs in natural healing and regeneration both within and outside the United States.
A cell-based treatment is utilized rather than relying on donor organs, which are very limited in supply. Researchers around the world have studied stem cells from plants, mice, and patients in an attempt to find a cure for their diseases for more than a century.
Nevertheless, it is a long road from the lab to the clinic. The right cells must be grown, and tested in an animal before moving on to human trials, and researchers must establish whether the cells are safe in animals before moving forward.
Stem Cell Therapy History
Since its first known appearance in 1868, stem cell therapy has advanced tremendously. In the future of medicine, they hold great promise, whether they are being used in the lab for cancer research or in procedures to relieve pain or rehabilitate damaged tissue. In order to better understand how to treat any disease, different treatment approaches are constantly being tried to assess what works and what doesn't.
German biologist Ernst Haeckel coined the term in 1868 to describe the fertilized egg that became an organism. Following that, hundreds of scientists began experimenting until 2001 when President George W. Bush signed an order enabling federal funding for stem cell research. Through trial and error, it has continued to improve and has become widely used in today's society.
Appropriate Stem Cell Therpay Conditions
People who experience a:
spinal cord injury
type 1 diabetes
Parkinson's disease
Alzheimer's disease
heart disease
are candidates for stem cell therapy. The procedure runs its course when healthy, regenerative cells from a properly working part of the body are injected into the injured area of the body. The therapy can enable your body to better heal itself.
This advanced treatment has allowed researchers to better understand diseases by observing how these stem cells mature into cells in bones and other parts of the human body.
