Austin Stem Cell Therapy Specialists
The unique property of a human stem cell is its capability to develop into multiple different cell types. They are the raw materials of the body, with the ability to become any kind of cellular building block with specialized function. After being harvested safely from your own body, stem cells can be delivered to target areas to encourage growth of new, healthier cells. With the regenerative properties of stem cells, your body is healing itself in ways previously thought to be impossible.
A stem cell therapy procedure begins by harvesting stem cells from your bone marrow. These stem cells, along with platelet-rich plasma, are injected into a problem area. Depending on the injection site, the stem cells can then become new bone or cartilage cells. This treatment proves effective for those who suffer from osteoarthritis and/or chronic pain, as well as people recovering from ligament damage.
