Advantage Healthcare of Charleston Utilizing Regenerative Cell Therapy for Patients
CHARLESTON, SC – Think about how many friends and family you know that live with debilitating pain in their back, shoulders, knees, neck and more. It’s often more than we think and usually, their pain is managed by steroid injections, pain medications, physical therapy and sometimes even joint replacement surgery. But what if there was a way to heal yourself without invasive procedures or medications? Well, now there is.
Advantage Healthcare of Charleston (A member of The Stem Cell Institute Of America) is proud to offer an alternative to invasive procedures and drugs using regenerative cell therapy. Regenerative cell therapy uses Amniotic Membrane Allografts. The pro-generative power of the amniotic membrane supports the body’s natural ability to restore tissue to a pre-wound state. Unlike treatments that simply address the symptoms, regenerative cell therapy actually promotes the natural process of repair in the body, assisting in restoring degenerated joints.
This therapy can repair tissues in your body that are damaged due to age, disease and defects. It can also help with many aspects of joint and muscle pain including:
- Low Back Pain, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain, Elbow and Wrist Pain
- Knee Pain, Joint Pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle & Ligament Injuries
- Sciatica Leg Pain
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Disc Herniations and Disc Bulges
- Spinal Stenosis and Failed Back Surgery Treatment and more
Often patients can feel relief after one injection.
Regenerative cell therapy was once only available to sports figures and athletes; and often many would travel to Europe for the therapy. Blood-forming stem cells in the bone marrow were the first stem cells to be identified and and used to help people worldwide who had been suffering from blood cancers, such as leukemia. But unlike blood-forming stem cells, these new placental fluid cells are derived from mothers who have donated their placental tissue by Cesarean section. Regeneration therapy utilizes Amniotic Membrane Allografts that DO NOT derive from an embryo, but from the amniotic sac. The extraction process is called amniocentesis and does not harm the embryo at all. These cells can also be extracted from amniotic fluid as well. This is a non-controversial and non-harmful way to unleash the power of regenerative therapy.
