During this process the red blood cells are separated from the the plasma portion of the whole blood and the platelets are concentrated. Anticoagulant is added to the blood and it is spun in a centrifuge at a specific speed and time. The procedure involves drawing typically 10-30n milliliters of the patients blood (About 1-2 tablespoons). Platelet-Rich Plasma, PRP for short, is a regenerative procedure for joint pain, nerve pain, and can be used aesthetically. For FDA approved drugs or surgeries intended to medically help you please consult your physician for options. The use of UC-MSCs, exosomes, and any related biological products are NOT approved by the FDA for the intended purpose to heal or cure a disease or condition. This medicine is used at the discretion of a licensed health care person for a therapeutic purpose deemed necessary by that licensed healthcare professional.

The UC-MSCs come from donated umbilical cords that meet eligibility determined for for donors of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products, as defined in US FDA requirements for Human Cellular and Tissue based Products (HCT/P),, State regulations and guidelines of the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and AABB. Our stem cells are for the intended use of licensed physicians and exculsive to patients of Innate Healthcare Institute, and are not for sale or to be distributed commercially. We have never had an incident of contamination or severe adverse events. The product is prepared aseptically and supplied sterile. All processing is done in a clinical-grade laboratory by highly trained professionals.Īll recovery, processing, labeling and distribution is in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Good Tissue Practices (cGTP), established by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The exosomes are derived from MSCs from the WJ. The FDA strictly regulates the process of how these tissues are acquired, tested, processed and stored to ensure the highest level of patient safety. the gelatinous layer found within the umbilical cord, which is obtained from healthy, consenting donors who are under the age of 28 and undergoing a scheduled c-section.

See additional sections on this site for details on stem cell and PRP therapies.We use umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) from umbilical cord tissue (sometimes referred to as Wharton’s Jelly (WJ)).

Best of all, regenerative stem cell treatment does not change anatomy and surgical options continue to be open and available if necessary. When patients are properly selected, outcomes are quite good. Regenerative therapy, available now, is a means to stimulate healing in patients suffering both joint and spinal related pain. Although we do not know how long lasting this treatment will be, we do know that the structure of the joint or spine is not changed with regenerative treatment as it is in surgery. potential for healing with regenerative medicine Successful treatment is usually temporary and measured over years since surgical joint prosthetics wear out and require revision and replacement. Spine fusion speeds the degenerative process at adjacent vertebral levels. Statistics show poorer outcomes with each successive surgery. Unfortunately, it is difficult, if not impossible to predict a successful surgical intervention in any individual patient.

In some, however, the change results in worsening of the original pain and overall worsening of function. In many cases surgical outcome is good and justifies this change in anatomy. It is a “bridge burner” in that surgery forever changes the anatomy. Joint replacement, disc replacement and fusion were available to those with severe limitations in function related to the degenerative process. These surgeries hold both great promise and great risk. Surgery results in irreversible structural change. When severe, surgery has been an option for both joint and spine degenerative disease. Palliative management has consisted of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, activity restrictions, and others), physical therapy, injections and medication. Treatment has essentially been palliative and managed but not healed. There has never been any treatment available to heal worn out joints and discs of the spine. Regenerative stem cell medicine differs from traditional pain management treatments, such as narcotic medications and surgery, in that it stimulates the body’s own repair mechanisms to heal damaged tissue. Advanced Diagnostic Pain Treatment Center provides regenerative stem cell therapy using adult stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections for joint and spinal pain.
