Among many other things, stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue are known to have three very important properties:

• Help reduce inflammation
• Modulate the immune system and
• Secrete factors that helps tissue to regenerate

Because stem cells are less mature than other cells, the body’s immune system is unable to recognize them as foreign and therefore they are not rejected. Thousands of patients have been treated with umbilical cord stem cells and there has never been a single instance rejection. Stem cells also proliferate more efficiently and therefore, they are considered to be more potent.

Stem cell injections offer the ability to heal damaged tissue naturally. With stem cell therapy, stem cells from tissues are injected directly into the effected area of the body. These stem cells have strong anti-inflammatory properties. However, stem cell therapy goes far beyond the benefits of standard “injection therapy.”

While cortisone and other drugs only provide temporary pain relief, stem cells actually restore degenerated tissue while providing pain relief. The growth factors in amniotic stem cells may replace damaged cells in your body. Additionally, stem cell injections contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates joints and tendons, easing the pain and helping restore mobility.
