Adipose (fat) Stem Cell Treatment

Adipose (Fat) Stem Cell Treatments and Stem Cell Banking

The human body has amazing healing and regenerative properties mainly using mesenchymal stem cells. 

Your Stem Cells are the strongest at birth, but you still have abundant sources as an adult in your Fat Cells. These are blank cells that can become what you need them to be if you inject them in the area of damage. They can help repair such things as herniated discs or cartilage in joints. In fact, fat tissue is regularly replaced in our bodies based on the food we consume, which means your fat cells may be more like your new born stem cells.

With these potent cells, we can treat:

• Back pain caused by degenerative disks, herniated disks, and other joint-related problems.
• Osteoarthritis
• Knee pain caused by degenerative joint disease and meniscus tears.
• Neck pain caused by degenerative disks, herniated disks, and joint dysfunctions.
• Shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tears, cartilage tears, and general wear and tear. 
• Other Joint or Muscle pain
• Some neurologic conditions

What are Stem Cells?

Most of the cells in your body, by design, have one purpose and they stick very close to that mission — your kidney cells function within this organ, and your skin cells occupy themselves with the health of your skin. Stem cells, on the other hand, are what’s known as undifferentiated cells, which means they have the amazing ability to not only become other cells but multiply indefinitely as that cell.

Your stem cells are strongest and most numerous during embryonic development as they set to work to build a new human life. As an adult, you still carry stem cells throughout your body, which lie in wait in various tissue, such as your fat, coming forward when needed for rebuilding and repair. These adult stem cells are known as mesenchymal stem cells.

What is Adipose Tissue Stem Cell Treatment?

Adipose tissue is the loose, connective tissue made up of cells that store fat. When used in regenerative therapy, concentrated adipose tissue forms a stem-cell-rich scaffold, which the body can use as a support structure for new tissue.

This tissue typically contains a higher volume of mesenchymal stem cells than bone marrow samples of the same size. Mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to differentiate and regenerate into many different types of cells after infusion. Similar to unmined gold, adipose stem cells are just waiting to be extracted for healing purposes. They are invaluable because they possess the ability to replicate into multiple different types of tissues within the body. Studies have also shown that an adipose stem cell treatment can reduce swelling and inflammation, relieve pain, and improve healing time.

Our practice uses a minimally invasive fat tissue extraction procedure in which she obtains a sample of your fat tissue using a syringe similar to what is used in liposuction. Once harvested and injected, the Stem or Regenerative cells set to work to rebuild your tissue, while also calling in further resources to help with the work. This is all done in-house in our procedure room - no hospital or overnight stays are required.

Tissue Banking

Adipose tissue is unique in that we can “bank” some of the tissue that we harvest for use at a later date. So, if your back is giving you the most problems, but you wanted to be prepared later on to use your own cells for your knee or your shoulder, Our team can harvest excess fat and send it to our banking facility for safekeeping until you need it.

This process is also helpful for those who need repeated injections for chronic diseases or even for anti-aging and reduction of inflammation in the whole body.
