Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica is a debilitating condition, characterized by intense pain radiating from the lower back to the legs, due to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. It often results from conditions like herniated disks, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome.
The Limitations of Conventional Sciatica Treatments
While painkillers, physiotherapy, and surgery are common treatments, they often merely address the symptoms or have significant side effects. As such, there’s a growing need for a therapeutic strategy that targets the root cause.

Stem cell therapy, a realm of regenerative medicine, offers tremendous potential for treating a multitude of injuries and diseases, including meniscus tears. The meniscus is a key component of the knee, ensuring stability, shock absorption, and smooth movement. When torn, it can cause pain, swelling, and limited motion.
Understanding the Meniscus
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage located in the knee, between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). It acts as a shock absorber, preventing bone-on-bone friction, and contributes to the overall stability of the knee. The me ..read more

Does Stem Cell Therapy Use Your Own Stem Cells?
One of the most popular questions that we get asked is if we use our patient’s own stem cells for their treatment. It’s an important question to ask your stem cell therapist in the initial consultation, as their answer can help you understand what types of procedures they perform.
Yes, Stem Cell Therapy can Use Your Stem Cells
In short, yes, stem cell treatments can be performed using your own stem cells. In fact, using your own stem cells are one of the safest methods of stem cell therapy. These types of stem cells are called adult stem cells, a ..read more

What is Stem Cell Therapy & What to Expect
Let’s begin by discussing exactly what is stem cell therapy.
Stem cell therapy is a form of medicine that is meant to restore tissue that has been injured or has lost function due to disease. This type of regenerative medicine uses stem cells, the “building blocks” of the human body that come in four types from multiple areas of the body for restoration. Scientists are even beginning to understand how to grow stem cells to create specialized stem cells that can be used for specific areas of the body. For example, grown stem cells can be used in th ..read more

Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Stenosis
Stem cell therapy for spinal stenosis is a relatively new and experimental treatment that offers potential benefits in relieving the symptoms of spinal stenosis. The stem cells used in this procedure are typically taken from the patient’s fat or bone marrow, and then injected directly into the affected area.
Studies suggest that stem cell therapy may be effective in reducing pain, increasing mobility, and improving the quality of life for patients with spinal stenosis. However, the long-term safety and efficacy of this procedure are still being studied.
