Stem Cell Therapy in Charlotte, NC

For one thing, experience. We use an individualized approach to each patient, choosing the best regenerative treatment based on their overall health and the severity of their underlying condition.

Most patients have a positive response. Like everything else in medicine, Stem Cells or Growth Factors may not help everyone. Response to regenerative therapy depends on the underlying health of the patient, their baseline level of activity, their weight, and the severity of the underlying condition.

Patients with very mild arthritis who are active usually respond better than someone with so-called ‘bone on bone’ arthritis, but in our experience, even patients with advanced degrees of arthritis can benefit from regenerative therapy. In many cases, regenerative therapy has been able to delay joint replacement surgery. Our hope is that if people receive this treatment early on in the course of their arthritis, they may even be able to prevent joint replacement entirely.

We have seen many patients who were told by other clinics that they were ‘bone on bone’ in an effort to scare them into having surgery performed ‘right away’ when in fact their arthritis was not that severe and they responded very well to treatment.

This is one of the most important questions you must ask any provider who wishes to treat you with Stem Cells. First, you should understand what Stem Cells are. They are undifferentiated cells that divide and specialize over time, taking on specific functions. At Dynamic Health we use your Stem Cells from your own body or an FDA approved donated source. 

We used to think that the injected Stem Cells actually turn into new cartilage. Recent research has shown that something slightly different is happening. The Stem Cells that are re-introduced serve as chemical messengers. These Stem Cell messengers send signals to the dormant Stem Cells that are already living inside your damaged tissues. These special signals tell the dormant Stem Cells to ‘wake up’ and begin to grow and repair the local tissue damage that has been caused by wear and tear. It’s your own body healing itself. We’re giving it a ‘boost’ that it needs but can’t get on its own to get the process started.

Growth Factory Therapy helps your body heal by acting as a catalyst to stimulate your body’s natural regenerative healing process along with decreasing inflammation and decreasing pain.

Stem Cell and Growth Factor Therapy are administered via an injection. Any time you penetrate the skin, there is a small risk of infection. Our procedures are performed using strict aseptic techniques, so infection is rare, occurring in only about 1 of every 1000 patients. Infection risks are increased by not following aftercare and instructions properly.

Other possible complications include allergic reactions to local anesthetic and bleeding, and both of these are extremely rare. We can even do these procedures in patients who are on blood thinners, provided that they can safely stop the blood thinner for several days beforehand (Never stop your blood thinning medication unless cleared by your doctor to do so).

The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your underlying condition. Most patients can get by with one treatment but patients with more severe degrees of arthritis may need a ‘booster’ treatment after several months.

Studies have shown that patients can expect one to two years of pain relief. The response of the patient depends on the severity of the condition as well as the additional treatments they are able to do to support their overall healing process.
