Presently, the uses of stem cells is becoming common practice with orthopedics as it may help deter a knee replace- ment or surgical procedure and improve function of joints following injury. Practitioners today are also using stem cells within disciplines like painmanagement, cardiology, rheuma- tology, and neurology. As with other cells in our body, stem cells age as we do.That’s why at Physicians Rehabilitation, we provide stem cells that are derived from umbilical cord These stem cells are highly potent and able to efficiently repair or damaged cells. REGENERATIVE Stimulate your bodies own stem cells to proliferate and target damaged cells in your body to repair or replace them.

What are Stem Cells? Stem cells are unspecialized cells in our bodies that have the capacity to change into ANY healthy cell. The body is made up of about 200 different types of specialized cells. How Do They Work? Stem cells have the capacity to migrate to injured tissues, a phenomenon called homing. This occurs by signals that are released from the distressed Once stem cells are delivered to a site of injury or deployed into the blood stream they go to these distressed signals and dock on adjacent cells to commence performing their job. First, they release growth factors which help in controlling the inflammatory response that in turn relieves pain while it works to heal tissue and other cells.

In addition, stem cells work to increase blood flow to an area by forming new blood vessels. Cells with themost damage is where the injected stem cells will migrate first. The release of growth factors set the stage for the replication of the necessary healthy cells to repair the damage.
