Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that utilizes the unique capabilities of stem cells to repair damaged tissues and alleviate chronic pain.

This unique branch of medical science opens a new frontier in patient treatment by leveraging the regenerative potential inherent in our cells.

Stem cells have a remarkable capability: they can self-replicate and differentiate into a multitude of different cell types.

This exceptional attribute makes them an ideal medical tool for the treatment of an array of conditions.

If you’re contemplating the potential benefits of stem cell therapy for your health or the health of a loved one, it’s essential to be well-informed about the intricacies involved.

Adipose & Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy – What are the Concerns?

The two conventional types of methods for harvesting stem cells include adipose tissue and bone marrow stem cell therapy.

Adipose Tissue Stem Cell Therapy primarily involves extracting stem cells from a patient’s adipose tissue, often located in the abdomen or thighs. Despite the relatively straightforward extraction process, this method is not without risks.

For instance, it can potentially lead to infection. Additionally, the stem cells derived from adipose tissue may lack potency, given that these cells age in tandem with the patient. Furthermore, the presence of toxins in the fat tissue could diminish the efficacy of the stem cell treatment.

Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy involves collecting stem cells from the patient’s or a close relative’s bone marrow. This procedure is considerably more invasive, requiring the doctor to drill into the bone. This invasive approach can result in potential pain and elevated infection risks.

Both methods pose their respective risks. There’s a chance that the extracted stem cells might migrate to an unintended wound location, bypassing the intended healing site. Given these potential complications, at Woywood Integrated Medicine, we’ve chosen not to perform these traditional types of treatment.

Human Cellular Tissue Therapy We Provide for Pain Relief

At our clinic, we’ve adopted a more safer and healthier approach: Human Cellular Tissue injections.

These injections utilize tissue sourced from Wharton’s Jelly, found in umbilical cords generously donated during scheduled C-sections.

Wharton’s Jelly is loaded with healing components, including cytokines, exosomes, growth factors, proteins, lipids, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, peptides, collagen, and more.

This minimally invasive outpatient procedure enables you to get back to your everyday routine immediately following the appointment.

The safety and well-being of our patients are paramount. As such, we’ve chosen to implement Human Cellular Tissue Therapy, preferring it to traditional stem cell therapies due to the advantages it offers.

How Shockwave Therapy Enhances Stem Cell Therapy Recovery

At Woywood Integrated Medicine, we often complement our Human Cellular Tissue Therapy with Shockwave Therapy to further accelerate healing and improve outcomes.

Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate circulation, break down scar tissue, and enhance the body’s natural regenerative processes. When used in conjunction with stem cell therapy, it helps create a more receptive healing environment—encouraging better stem cell activation, migration, and integration at the site of injury.

This combination can lead to faster recovery times, reduced inflammation, and more effective pain relief.

By integrating Shockwave Therapy with your stem cell treatment plan, we can help your body heal more efficiently—getting you back to doing what you love, pain-free.

Conditions Treated with Human Cellular Tissue

The cellular tissue injections we offer have a broad treatment spectrum, capable of addressing a multitude of conditions including:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Disc injuries
• Sciatica
• Joint pain
• Knee pain

• Hip pain
• Arthritis
• Shoulder pain
• Elbow pain
• Foot pain
• and many more.

Our primary goal is to offer our patients non-surgical, minimally invasive pain relief treatments to help them live a pain-free life.
