Spinal injury treatment with stem cells

If you're looking for a non-surgical treatment for spinal injuries, stem cell therapy may be a promising treatment option to improve movements and sensitivity after spinal cord traumas. Stem cells help to restore damaged spine nerve cells (neurons) and connections between them. This outpatient treatment lasts five days to help improve your condition. First, doctors will examine your medical history and records, perform a physical examination, and consult with an expert in regenerative medicine to determine the best course of action for your case. Next, you'll undergo laboratory tests to check your overall health. Finally, doctors will conduct a neurological examination and diagnostic tests like electromyography, nerve conduction study, and an MRI scan to diagnose the spinal injury. It helps to understand the extent of the damage and the best way to treat it. The treatment process begins with preparing you for the procedure. First, stimulation therapy is used to activate your body's healing process. Next, doctors will collect your body's adipose (fat) stem cells. The cells are processed through special equipment to make them pure and more concentrated. These cells are then injected into the affected area of your spine to start the self-regenerating process. After the procedure, physicians will provide symptomatic treatment to manage any side effects or discomfort. In addition, it will ensure you have a smooth recovery. Stem cell therapy requires a few months to evaluate the first result and might take 6 to 8 months for maximum effect.
