Stem Cell Therapy
They are derived products offer great promise for new medical treatments.
They are a certain type of cells in the body from which specialty cells develop. These include muscle, brain, ligament, tendon, bone, cartilage, and more, or they become new stem cells.
Stem cell therapy is most commonly used for treating the following conditions:
- Achilles Tendinosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Ligament Sprain of the Ankle
- Ankle Tendon Tear
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Bunions
- Sports Injuries
One of the main reasons why Stem Cell Therapy has become a popular alternative to foot and ankle surgery is the quick and simple recovery. Stem cell therapy is an outpatient procedure. After harvesting the stem cells, the procedure takes only a few hours to complete.
After the injection of stem cells, the recovery time may differ from patient to patient. In general, the majority of patients are able to walk within 24 hours. There may be soreness in treated tissues and joints for a few days. Excessive stress on the treated area due to high-impact activities such as running, jumping or squatting, for example, should be avoided for two to three months. Patients should begin to notice improvements within a few weeks after the injection. Stem cells will then gradually heal the damaged areas, allowing patients to return to their normal activities within two to three months.
Most stem cell therapy using adult stem cells is considered safe because the stem cells are collected from the patient, minimizing the risk of an unwanted reaction. The most common side effects are temporary swelling and pain.
While most stem cell therapy for arthritis is considered safe, it does carry the same risks as any other medical procedure, such as a small risk of infection. Risk may be increased if:
- A different type of stem cell is used
- The stem cells are cultured (taken from the patient and grown in the lab over time)
- The stem cells are mixed with other chemicals
Some research suggests stem cell therapy engaging in these kinds of practices may elevate the risk of tumors.
