By constantly turning over and replacing old cells with new ones, stem cells maintain our health and ensure our bodies function optimally. The same is true when disease or injury strikes; stem cells remove the damaged cells and replace them with new cells, helping your body to heal itself.
Depending on the severity of your condition, your body may need additional stem cells to boost the function of local cells in the affected area. This injection of additional stem cells to stimulate healing is the purpose of stem cell therapy
Over the last decade, advances in stem cell therapy have shown great promise in regenerative orthopedic and sports medicine. Using your own stem cells for these treatments carries the least amount of risk. Any manipulation of stem cells in a laboratory or from a foreign source can carry the risk of infection, disease transmission, rejection, and tumor formation.
The safety and efficacy of stem cells for certain systemic disorders is still an area of ongoing research, but exciting developments in stem cell therapy are on the horizon. Choosing a doctor who specializes in stem cell therapy and has extensive experience in the field is crucial.
For more than 15 years, Dr. Gaurav Goswami has worked exclusively with stem cells, helping thousands of patients find relief and heal from a wide range of injuries and conditions. The Goswami Clinic’s advanced protocols ensure our patients receive the highest quality stem cell treatments available.
Even if you’re not currently struggling with a condition that requires immediate treatment, it’s wise to plan ahead. As we age, our stem cells diminish in quantity and viability. By banking stem cells today, you’re securing access to younger, more efficient stem cells for later in life. Thanks to new technology, these stored stem cells can be multiplied into billions of your own stem cells, leaving you with a lifetime supply should you ever need or choose to use them to treat a variety of conditions.
There are many different types of stem cells. Each specialized organ has its own stem cells that help regenerate and repair local cells specific to that organ system. We are still learning about the different populations of stem cells and their functions. The most commonly studied cells are the mesenchymal stem cells found in most of our organ systems. These tend to reside along blood vessels. Bone marrow, muscle, the pancreas, liver, lungs, kidneys, fat, dental pulp, and joint lining are some of the areas of the body rich in mesenchymal stem cells.
