A New Treatment Delivering Uncommon Results
At MSCStem we offer a new treatment to Spinal Disorders (SD) that delivers health outcomes that many did not know were possible.
Our treatment provides a more comprehensive SD treatment than conventional therapies offer. It provides critical components of SD treatment that conventional therapies miss, to directly target both the condition’s symptoms and the root causes of the condition.
By following this new approach, we have produced meaningful improvement for each of the SD patients we have treated.
Understanding SD: A New Perspective
SD is an age-related degenerative disease that can manifest in multiple conditions, most of which involve the deterioration of spinal components including the vertebrae, the intervertebral discs, and the bundle of nerves forming the cord itself.
The exact causes of SD varies depending on the condition, and are unknown for certain conditions. However, most SD are correlated with the following causes:
- Age: Patients naturally increase their risk for SD as they grow older.
- Weakness: From a lack of support caused by underdeveloped core muscles.
- Heavy Lifting: From work or sport that involves excess strain on the lower back.
- Genetics: From a family history of spinal issues or other musculoskeletal disorders.
- Posture: From strain on the discs due to sitting too long or poor posture.
- Lifestyle: From Obesity, smoking (or other nicotine intake), and other factors.
No matter the exact cause of a patient’s SD condition—or the exact condition they express—most individuals find their SD will naturally progress and worsen over time. If untreated the underlying damage to the spinal tissues will increase, leading to pain, discomfort, and a loss of mobility. Eventually, the condition can progress and begin to negatively impact the functioning of other parts of the patient’s body.
In short: SD is a debilitating degenerative disorder that can only be effectively treated by regenerating the affected spinal tissue or nerves, repairing damage to any impacted bones, and restoring the healthy structure and functioning of the spine.
Unfortunately, conventional therapies are not able to address these underlying elements of SD and at best can mask its symptoms in the short-term.
The Fundamental Flaw in Conventional SD Therapies
There is no cure for SD, but there are a range of conventional therapies used to attempt to treat its conditions. These therapies include medications and physiotherapy that can help to alleviate symptoms, but do not treat the underlying condition nor repair the underlying damaged bones or tissue. Some of the medications prescribed include pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or even antidepressants—all of which can carry their own severe side effects.
In some advanced cases, patients may undergo surgery— often to either replace the vertebrae or discs with artificial materials, or to perform a spinal fusion (where the patient’s degenerated discs are removed, and the bones of the spine are fused together). These surgeries are invasive and unnatural. They do nothing to repair the damaged spinal bone, tissue, or nerves, and are not always effective at alleviating pain or improving mobility over the long term.
Clearly, a new approach to SD treatment is needed.
At MSCStem, we offer a regenerative approach to SD treatment. Our approach treats SD as the complex, degenerative condition that it is, and assists the body’s own ability to repair and regenerate spinal tissue, bones, and nerves that have degenerated due to the condition.
Our approach for SD treatment centers on the targeted administration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC). Properly administered stem cells can provide multiple benefits for SD.
Once administered, the cells will divide to replace old or damaged tissue, bone, and nerve cells, and contribute to the overall health of the spine as a whole.
Properly administered stem cells can provide multiple benefits for SD. They can:
- Migrate to the site of injury.
- Transform into new spinal tissue, bone, and nerves.
- Communicate with, and alter, nearby cells.
- Encourage existing damaged cells to self-repair.
- Regulate the immune system, and reduce inflammation.
- Increase production of synovial fluid and joint lubrication.
