Stem Cell Treatment and its Advantages for Spinal Cord Injury
Stem cells are unique in their abilities like they have the power to rebuild or become any specific cells within the body. Umbilical stem cells are gained from the umbilical cord and or placenta blood after the child’s birth. Umbilical cord stem cells can only be obtained after birth and then stored for further use in medical procedures and applications under strict regulatory standards.
Before the procedure takes place, there will be a patient’s physical examination and blood testing. Umbilical cord tissue-derived stem cells are then injected through an IV process. These cells help the patients in bringing their normal life back with results in:
- Replacing the nerve cells that are harmed or lost as a result of the injury or disease

- Preventing the spread of the injury by overcoming the inflammation that can happen after an injury
