Stem cells are cells that occur naturally within the body, and are undifferentiated—meaning they have yet to assume the function of any specific type of cell. All cells, regardless of what they ultimately develop into, begin as stem cells. Stem cells are the body’s natural healers, and are used as building blocks to re-grow tissue. In an adult, this tissue repair ultimately restores function.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem Cell Therapy is an advanced, regenerative procedure used by medical professionals for the prevention of disease or treatment of conditions that include Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cardio Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Arthritis and chronic joint or back pain.
Stem Cells were first harvested by scientists in 1981. Since then, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has composed guidelines for stem cell therapy using umbilical cord stem cells—cells that have been extracted from the patient’s own fat stores. This technique has dramatically bolstered stem cell treatment, and expanded its use to an ever-widening segment of the population.
What Does Stem Cell Therapy Treat?
Stem Cell Therapy is used to replace damaged cells (after an injury, for instance) and to promote natural healing when cells in the body are damaged through illness or disease. Stem cells can be used to help the body fight diseases and strengthen the immune system after cell-depleting treatments. Stem Cell Therapy can even eliminate discomfort for those who suffer with chronic conditions, such as back pain.
How Does It Work?
Totality Health utilizes Umbilical-Derived Stem Cell Therapy—a treatment protocol that’s non-invasive, ethically sound and extensively used by medical facilities in the U.S.. In practice, the procedure is relatively simple: stem cells are collected from umbilical tissue after the cord has been cut immediately following delivery. These cells are injected into the body during a scheduled office visit, and absolutely no surgery is required. Once introduced, the stem cells migrate to affected areas of the body and start to heal damaged tissue—improving the body’s overall functions.
Additional Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy
Advances in Stem Cell Therapy have made it a popular alternative for many. Your body’s own stem cells can be used to heal & regenerate damaged tissues in your body.
- Eliminates pain & restores proper function
- Can alleviate even chronic conditions
- Requires no drugs or surgery
- Same day treatment (in many cases) is fast and easy
