Stem Cell Treatment Procedure for Spinal Cord Injury
Conventional medicine has done limited progress in terms of spinal cord injuries as the damaged nerve cells can’t be healed through medicines or therapy
Stem cell research has opened the doors of new possibilities as stem cell technology doesn’t just try to numb the pain but it also tries to build the damaged cells back to their original state
Spinal cord injuries cause severe damage to the nervous system and the brain is not able to communicate properly with the vital organs
Stem cell treatment involves correct identification of the affected areas and the type of damaged cells
Stem cells are taken from the patient’s bone marrow or harvested allogeneically from the matched donor
These stem cells are properly tested and separated as per the need and effectiveness
These stem cells are later on enriched and activated before planting them in the patient
In stem cell treatment concentrated cells are administered to the target areas
These cells colonize in the affected regions and adapt to their properties
Slowly and gradually the affected area starts to heal and the patient is able to get back sensory and motor functions
After the procedure
Stem cell therapy in spinal cord injury works like wonders in many cases however, there are possibilities that the therapy might not show any results on the patient as such injuries are highly complicated. The stem cell treatment aided with therapy can help the patients in improving their motor and sensory functions. This therapy does not put any dietary restrictions on the patients. The patients might have to return several times for getting the stem cells in case the treatment is working positively for them.
