Showing Degenerative Joint Disease Stem Cell Therapy

Traveling From Mexico

Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear of the joints. It causes inflammation of the tissues that surround the joints and well and damage to the cartilage and the development of bony growths around the edge of the joints. Stem cells are produced in the bone marrow. They are immature cells that have the potential to self-generate themselves into many different cell types in the body. Autologus stem cell therapy is when the patients own stem cells are used to treat the condition. Bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells are collected from the patient and then frozen and stored until they are needed. The stem cells are then implanted back into the affected area of the patient. They can then self-generate themselves into new cells which help to repair the damaged tissue.
