 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank Lora Anderson L.M.T and the entire office staff at LI Chiropractic & Physical Therapy for getting me the appointments I needed and especially Lora for the treatment of my illio tibial band issue and addressing my rotator cuff, hamstring and quad pain. Her knowledge , massage treatment tand advice enabled me to play almost every game in my Senior Softball Season and complete our second consecutive League Championship. I can only imagine how beneficial she and this office staff would be to younger athletes with issues and Seniors dealing with pain and similar muscle skeletal issues.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first started my therapy at LI Chiropractic and PT I couldn’t use my left arm and the pain in my neck and back was debilitating! Now I have no pain, I have full range of motion in my neck and arm, and I have an overall feeling of well being. Dr. Smith and his professional staff were knowledgeable and compassionate throughout my treatment. Getting my therapy here was the best decision I made to regain my physical limitations.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine involves manipulating, replacing, regenerating, or engineering human tissue. It often includes therapeutic transplants of living tissue or stem cells, which restore themselves and stimulate the natural regrowth of critical structures in and around the affected area. The treatment most often referred to under this category of treatments is using a patient’s stem cells to trigger growth and regeneration in damaged locations, especially in and around the joints, for pain relief and rehabilitation. This minimally invasive surgical technique has proven effective, with few to no side effects and highly rapid recovery times.

Features of Regenerative Medicine

The origins and features of regenerative medicine are included in the list below:

Stem Cells – These master cells are the only cells in the body that can transform into any other cell type. We have fewer of these as we age, but at almost any age, retrieving stem cells and using them to treat areas where they are needed is possible.
Bone Marrow Transplants – Bone marrow is taken from a healthy donor and injected into the patient. Once transplanted, the marrow will grow and replace the damaged marrow. In some cases, this is considered a form of stem cell therapy.
Cell Therapy – In this form of stem cell treatment, particular types of stem cells target specific affected tissues.
Gene Therapy – This treatment seeks to repair or replace damaged genes to return biological functions, including hormone production, to normal.
Regeneration – Anytime cells and tissues heal and grow, this is regeneration. The triggering of resurrection is the purpose of all regenerative medical techniques.
Umbilical Cord Cells – Often, new stem cells are retrieved from the umbilical cords and placentas of newly born babies. These can be extremely useful in regenerative medicine.

How Does Regenerative Medicine Work?

Regenerative medicine uses potent biological resources that every human body contains to facilitate and stimulate new tissue growth. However, these resources are limited and sequestered in certain parts of the body. As a result, they often need to be retrieved and transplanted to be used to their full potential.

What Forms of Regenerative Medicine are FDA Approved?

The treatments listed above are FDA approved. However, stem cell therapy is only approved for certain types of care for which your regenerative care chiropractor is specially trained.

Is Stem Cell Usage Safe?

Because all that is needed is usually the removal and transplantation of stem cells via a specialized hypodermic needle, the treatments are minimally invasive and cause very little physical trauma to the affected area. Therefore, stem cell treatments are among the safest medical interventions known.
