According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 80% of Americans will have at least one episode of lower (or lumbar) back pain in their lifetimes. Discomfort or pain in the cervical and thoracic regions is common as well, with an estimated one-third of Americans living with pain at any given time. For much of human history, back pain treatment consisted of home remedies, massage, cold and heat therapies, and rest – but not much more.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to both differentiate and multiply into the 200 cells types that form a human being. In total, the human body is composed of an estimated 30 trillion cells, making stem cells extremely important to human development. Stem cells are also found in plants and animals.
The use of stem cells to treat human disease is being investigated within scientific research, as well as thousands of clinical trials worldwide. These cells are bringing hope to many people worldwide, including patients, researchers, and clinicians.
For the bulk of human history, a serious injury or long-lasting disease meant death. Whether the problem was infection, degeneration or failure of a vital system, healers were at a loss for what to do. The problem? They couldn’t figure out how to replace systems that were damaged. This is where stem cells have the potential to create a paradigm shift.
What exactly are stem cells and how has are they changing the way that diseases and injuries are treated? [Read more…]
With existing treatments having limited success at healing the connective tissue disorders, regenerative medicine is preparing to fill the void. When it comes to plantar fasciitis treatment, could stem cell injections represent a low-awaited cure?

Can you imagine a world where doctors have the power to replace dead, disease-causing cells with healthy ones produced in a laboratory? With continued research into cell reprogramming that future isn’t far off. There have already been several successful trials with this technology. Despite its immense potential and expanding use, many individuals still remain unfamiliar with the concept of cell reprogramming.
So, what is cell reprogramming? And what are some of the obstacles that the field faces today? In this quick summary of cell reprogramming, we’ll answer these questions and more. [Read more…]
