What Is Biologic Cell Therapy?
Biologic cell therapy may also be called cellular therapy, cell therapy, or regenerative cell therapy. However you refer to it, the concept remains the same. During the procedure, Dr. Pinkston harvests tissues from your own body, usually from your bone marrow or fatty areas. The harvested tissue contains stem cells and other components that can play a role in helping your body to heal.
After the harvested tissue is properly processed, it is injected back into your body at the site of damaged musculoskeletal tissues. The injected substances provide a powerful stimulus and valuable materials that your body can use to repair injuries and damage to the extent possible.
How Does Biologic Cell Therapy Relate to Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine is the science of repairing, rebuilding, or replacing damaged tissues within the human body. Biologic cell therapy fits perfectly under this umbrella because it uses the power of stem cells, which can turn into other types of cells and serve as important cellular messengers. They work along with other substances, such as natural growth factors, to help patients recover from persistent and painful musculoskeletal problems.
In an orthopedic setting, biologic cell therapy can be used to address a range of issues, such as osteoarthritis, labral tears, tendon and ligament tears, and more.
What Are the Benefits of Biologic Cell Therapy?
Some noteworthy benefits of biologic cell therapy include:
- It is minimally invasive. Pinkston makes the treatment process as easy as possible, and no extensive downtime is required after the procedure.
- It may help you avoid surgery. This regenerative treatment has helped some patients to recover to the point where they can avoid invasive and expensive orthopedic surgeries.
- It uses your body’s own tissues. Therefore, it is very unlikely that you will have a bad reaction to the injections.
- It is precise. Guided injections allow our team to deliver the cellular solution precisely where it needs to be for maximum efficacy.
- The results are long-lasting. Many patients experience long-term pain relief and enhanced mobility following their biologic cell therapy injections.
- The results take place quickly. You may notice a significant reduction in pain within 3 weeks to two months after your injections.
