Can Stem Cell Allograft Therapy Help Your Peripheral Neuropathy?

admin |

Peripheral neuropathy is a painful disorder that includes burning, tingling, numbness, itching and other pains in the extremities and limbs. Traditional medicine attempts to treat the pain—which is a result of damaged nerves—rather than the root cause of neuropathy.

If you suffer from peripheral neuropathy, your body is having trouble healing itself. Stem cell allograft therapy for peripheral neuropathy in Naples, FL can be effective in treating the root of the pain so you can begin leading a pain-free life. Here’s an overview of peripheral neuropathy and how stem cell treatments encourage healing.

Peripheral neuropathy: A painful nerve disorder

All humans have different types of nerves: brain, spinal cord and peripheral. Peripheral nerves are the kind that run through your body and transmit sensations like hot and cold or pleasure and pain. When your peripheral nerves are damaged, your brain can’t interpret their signals correctly. In turn, you may experience numbness, burning, itching, tingling, stabbing or a “pins and needles” feeling in the affected areas. Some patients experience an inability to grip objects, heaviness in their limbs, sexual dysfunction and diarrhea as a result of their neuropathy.

Nerve damage typically starts in the feet and hands and can radiate up the arms and legs if the root cause isn’t addressed. There are different types of peripheral neuropathy—perhaps the most commonly recognized kind is carpal tunnel syndrome.

Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by injury, but several other conditions can also cause or complicate the condition. Diabetes, poor nutrition, alcoholism, kidney and thyroid disease, infections, inherited diseases and more may trigger painful nerve damage—but about a third of peripheral neuropathy cases have no known root cause, making it much harder to fight the pain.

Stem cell therapy and peripheral neuropathy

Neuropathy can be treated in a number of traditional and modern ways, including stem cell allograft therapy. Stem cell therapy can be an effective way to help damaged nerves heal themselves, thanks to the stem cells’ ability to restore, replicate, or regenerate tissues and structures. Stem cells are the building blocks of every kind of cell in the human body—in fact, the ones we use are harvested from umbilical cords after healthy c-section deliveries in FDA approved labs. As the stem cells are injected into the site of the nerve pain, they help find the damage and aid the body with its natural healing processes. This can repair the nerves themselves and restore function to the affected areas.

Stem cell therapy for peripheral neuropathy in Naples, FL is a minimally invasive treatment. Since the cells are delivered via injection, there’s very little pain and no need for surgery. As a result, recovery time is minimal, and you may only need one or just a few sessions before you notice a drastic improvement in how you feel.
Consulting with a professional is the first step in addressing your peripheral neuropathy. The team at Feel Amazing Institute, formerly Hiler Chiropractic & Neurology works with patients to evaluate the source of their pain, then determine the best course of treatment. Call today to get started.

Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain

admin |

Joint pain is one of the most common health issues in the U.S. that affects millions of people. The most prevalent type is knee pain, which affects almost 25% of the adult population. It is a bothersome symptom of an underlying condition, which is rarely appropriately addressed.

What Causes Knee Pain?

Although it can take a lot of time until the cartilage wears out, the pain can intensify suddenly. If that happens, simple tasks like walking around the house or going to the store can become unbearable.

Medical conditions such as arthritis or an accelerated wear and tear of the cartilage due to poor lifestyle habits usually lead to knee pain.

Among the most common conditions that cause knee pain are:

  • Torn meniscus – the meniscus is the pad that absorbs the shock of the bones for every movement you make. When it is deteriorated, parts of it can enter the joint and inflame it.
  • Knee degeneration – the soft tissues of the knee dehydrate and no longer act as a protective cushion for the bones. When that happens, the friction occurs between the bones, and that causes sever pain.
  • Other injuries to the ligaments

Stem Cell Therapy in Naples

Stem cell therapy is a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments and surgery. Not only does it address the symptoms, but it also helps slow down and even repair the deterioration process.

At Feel Amazing Spine and Joint Institute and Hiler Chiropractic & Neurology, we aim at getting the best regenerative results for our clients by the use of amniotic membrane allograft or Wartons Jelly Umbilical cord allograft, and additional complementary therapies. The procedure is one time injection, takes 15 to 30 minutes, causes very little pain, and takes very little recuperation and rehabilitation.

These are non-fetal cells harvested in sterile conditions from a healthy mother during C-section births. The procedure follows the guidelines approved by FDA and poses no health risk to the donor or the receiver. In fact, the rejection rate of stem cells is at or near 0%.

The main advantages of the therapy are that they can replicate and regenerate different tissues (bone, cartilage, muscle) and they can self-duplicate. This means that stem cell therapy is a way to regenerate the torn or worn out tissues, reversing the deterioration partially.

Say Goodbye to Chronic Pain

Joint degeneration is the type of a condition that deteriorates as time passes by, and you can’t afford not to find a treatment as soon as you find out your diagnosis.

Because we know how much knee pain can limit your functionality and affect your everyday routine, we encourage you to find relief for your pain.
