Anyone who keeps up with current events can tell the world is in the midst of a scientific revolution. Because of media attention to consumer technology advances, many people overlook the huge advancements being made in biological and medical science, but these changes may be the most significant. One of the more important new treatments to emerge in recent decades is renewal therapy.
Renewed medicine offers unique options for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including arthritis and chronic joint pain. But what exactly are the cells used in this kind of medicine, and what is renewal therapy?
What is Renewal Therapy?
What Cells Does Renewed Medicine Use?
The human body is made up of a variety of different kinds of cells, each of which has different characteristics and a unique purpose. Skin cells, nerve cells, blood cells, and fat cells are just a few of the kinds of pieces that make up the human body.
Cells used by renewed medicine are undifferentiated cells that can become other kinds of cells. These are like blank slates, able to take on the characteristics of cells around them, giving the body a way to heal itself.
One benefit of renewal therapy is that the cells are able to be easily taken from your body and replace themselves.
What Are Some Uses for Renewed Medicine?
Since the discovery and isolation of the first cells needed for renewal therapy, medical scientists have been working hard to come up with medical applications. With their medical use still in early stages, we’re likely to discover hundreds of potential uses.
Most current treatments use these specific types of cell to replace and repair damaged tissue. For example, leukemia treatments are currently utilizing the renewal attributes of specific bone marrow cells.
Another more recent use has been renewal therapy for arthritis, injury-related pain, and other forms of chronic pain in joints like the knees or elbows.
How Does Renewal Therapy Work?
This brings us to our original question: What is renewal therapy?
Renewal therapy is the relocation of these cells to damaged or arthritic joints. By relocating these, we’re able to treat damaged cartilage and eliminate pain.
Joints get poor circulation compared to other parts of the body, making it difficult for your preexisting renewal cells to reach those areas on their own. At Dynamic Health & Pain Management, our doctors extract the specific manner of cells needed from your body and inject them into the joints that are experiencing pain. There, they repair and replace damaged cartilage, and in many cases, build the cartilage back up. After one to three weeks the pain will be significantly decreased.
