Stem Cells are the basic building blocks of life, the elemental cells from which our bodies are made. They are formed at conception and specialized to become all the different tissues in the body: skin, organs, muscle, blood, bone, etc. For example- muscle cells begin as stem cells, then they are determined and become muscle cells. Stem cells are simply undetermined cells. We use stem cells for the purpose of maintaining and repairing tissue. Cell Therapy Ortho-Biologics enhances this natural function by introducing high concentrations to an affected area, this stimulates regeneration and healing occurs at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n

Cell Therapy Ortho-Biologics relies on your own regenerative healing to occur. Everyone is different and the healing process may take several months before results are seen. While many patients report that they begin to experience results within weeks, the majority of the healing will take place over time. Stem cells have been shown to continue to provide healing for up to one year. No accurate guarantee can be made regarding how soon results can be felt. There are variables including the diagnosis and the severity of the problem.<\/p>\n

Our procedures are compliant within the guidelines listed in the FDA Code of Federal Regulations 21 Part 1271. We meet FDA guidelines by providing a same-day procedure done entirely in our clinic with only minimal manipulation of a patient\u2019s own cells which are then immediately delivered back to that patient.<\/p>\n

Side effects are typically minimal and may include minor pain and irritation at the injection site. Since we are using a patient\u2019s own stem cells, chances of immune system rejection are extremely low. Extensive research and testing using adult stem cells is ongoing worldwide, and to our knowledge, there have been no reported instances of \u201cserious adverse events\u201d specifically to adult stem cells in any studies. In fact, our very own co-founders have authored a safety study which showed zero adverse events associated with Cell Therapy Ortho-Biologics in a large group.<\/p>\n

Yes! The tissue is taken from the patient via sterile technique and remains in a sterile environment.

An RFA uses a radio wave produced by electric current to heat a small section of nerve tissue. This process stops the nerve\u2019s ability to send pain signals to the brain. Generally, RFA is used for patients suffering from chronic neck or lower back pain. The RFA procedure does not involve injections per se, although needles are inserted into the skin to deliver the radio waves. Patients also receive numbing injections to remain comfortable during the process. [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How Is an RFA Performed?” open_toggle_background_color=”#f6f7f7″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#5CBF69″ custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” border_radii=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” border_color_all=”rgba(0,35,89,0.4)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Prior to an RFA, you receive a nerve block to ensure that the nerves in question are indeed transmitting pain. Once it\u2019s decided that the nerves are the culprit, the RFA is scheduled. You lie face down, the area that will be injected will be cleansed and numbed with a local anesthetic. Guided by a fluoroscope, the doctor finds the nerve or nerves and sends a light current to that spot. The heat creates a lesion, so the nerve(s) can no longer send pain signals.

Most patients have some muscle soreness in the week following the procedure. Regular application of ice packs should relieve soreness, as should the use of over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen. The pain is triggered by the nerves dying from the heat application. The affected nerves die within one to two weeks after the RFA.
