What Is Regenerative Medicine? Benefits, Treatments & More
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Treating the Root Cause
Masking or numbing pain can be a temporary relief, but treating the root of a problem can offer long term results. Dr. Zaki Anwar ensures his patients have access to the most advanced options for effective regeneration and repair. Our cellular treatments are the minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures you need for the results you deserve.
Chicago Stem Cell Therapy offers minimally invasive, non-surgical stem cell treatments. Dr. Zaki Anwar utilizes amniotic fluid, exosomes derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells, and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). For ailing joints, stem cells from umbilical cord, placental tissue, or amniotic fluid can be injected into the area, fostering the growth of healthy tissue like cartilage.
What Are Exosomes?
MSC-Derived Therapy for Repair & Recovery
Exosomes, derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC), are extracellular nanovesicles collected from placental tissue during a healthy live birth. This tissue is rich with cytokines and growth factors with a high differentiation potential for rapid regeneration at the site of damage. These naturally occurring nanovesicles are produced by cells and contain a biologic message with instructions to direct the behavior of other cells. The crosstalk of countless circulating vesicles forms a network of communication between cells, which governs the normal and abnormal physiologic processes that occur throughout the body. Exosomes produced by MSCs contain instructions that support the development, healing, and regeneration of body tissue whether injected or infused, and have the ability to cross the Blood Brain Barrier.
How Does Regenerative Medicine Work?
Regenerative medicine combines your body's own healing abilities with natural biologics to repair and regenerate tissue. The cells in our body are responsible for growth and repair but with natural age or an injury, it can be difficult for the body to deliver sufficient healing properties. This problem can be solved with today's most advanced practices to promote the natural healing of impaired tissues, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, smooth muscle, and bone in an accelerated manner. Patients no longer need to rely on medication or endure a long and painful recovery and rehabilitation process after surgery when they choose regenerative therapies instead.
What Can Regenerative Medicine Do?
Stem cell therapy, also referred to as Regenerative medicine, promotes the natural repair of aged or damaged tissue. Preclinical studies suggest that exosomes:
Reduce inflammation
Reduce tissue fibrosis
Modulate over-active immune cells
Support blood supply
Promote cell survival
Promote connective tissue synthesis
Is Regenerative Medicine Successful?
Across a range of conditions, patients have self reported an average of 80% symptom relief. Studies have shown that stem cell therapy can repair and regenerate tissue and reduce inflammation. Every body is different, and every condition we treat can be staged at different severities. Natural biologics have proven to be successful, though individual results can vary. One person may feel relief immediately, while others gradually feel the progression of regeneration over the course of months. Human tissue needs time to regenerate, and even after completing treatment, sometimes PRP or other injections are beneficial as maintenance in order to continue optimal pain relief over time.
Am I a Candidate for Regenerative Therapies?
While there is an extensive range of indications, if you suffer from chronic pain, have experienced an injury, or struggle with an autoimmune or neurological condition, you are likely a candidate for regenerative treatments. After an initial evaluation and review of imaging (X-ray or MRI), Dr. Anwar will discuss his recommended treatment plan for you and explain how it can work to help improve your quality of life.
