Chronic Pain & Cellular Regenerative Therapy
Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. While everyone has aches and pains from time to time, a 2010 study estimates that about 30% of Americans have chronic pain. That’s why it’s so important to understand your chronic pain treatment options.
While narcotic medication is commonly used to treat this pain, heavy painkillers can cause addiction. A recent New York Times article described how opioid overdose caused 59,000 deaths in 2017, a 19% increase from the previous year. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50, and many of these are caused by opioid abuse.
Cellular Regenerative Therapy is a huge contributor to opioid drug addiction because so few methods exist for treating it successfully. After spine, back, knee, and hip surgery many patients need opioid pain medications. Sadly, many surgeries are unsuccessful or require further painful and costly procedures—often with little or no successful pain management.
Cellular Regenerative Therapy may be on the verge of changing that. Cellular Regenerative Therapy injections are fast, non-invasive, and non-surgical. They also contain no addictive ingredients or dangerous drugs.
That’s why we’re proud to offer regenerative medicine for chronic pain in the form of Cellular Regenerative Therapy. These Cellular Regenerative Therapy injections stimulate your own damaged cells’ regenerative potential to eliminate your pain, reduce your inflammation, and restore your tissue. Ultimately, these injections for chronic pain could reduce the need for opioid medication prescriptions.
Chronic pain can have serious effects on your mental health and quality of life, but regenerative medicine may help.
FAQ
What Causes Chronic Pain, and How Is It Diagnosed?
There are many different conditions that can cause chronic pain, such as:
- injuries like broken bones, sprains, or strains
- infections
- surgeries
- diseases that cause inflammation, like arthritis (joint inflammation) and tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons)
- conditions that cause nerve damage, like fibromyalgia (which causes muscle pain)
Overweight or obese people have a higher risk of chronic pain. Besides discomfort, chronic pain may also cause symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and insomnia.
Since pain is subjective, diagnosing your pain will require asking questions about your pain, using imaging tests like x-rays and CT scans to search for conditions that may be causing the pain, and electrode machines to identify muscle or nerve issues.
How Can Mesenchymal Stem Cells Regenerate My Damaged Tissue?
Injured cells in your skin, bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and connective joints send out signals. Cellular Regenerative Therapies respond to those signals, migrate to the injured tissue, and release proteins that stimulate your own cells to begin regenerating.
Common chronic pain regions that are treated with Cellular Regenerative Therapy therapy include the joints, the back, and the neck. Cellular Regenerative Therapy have powerful anti-inflammatory effects, which may also help reduce pain in conditions like tendinitis.
How much does this cost?
In an effort to keep the costs reasonable for everyone, we require patients to pay for their patient responsibility for treatment at the time of the service. We accept most major insurance plans, major credit cards, debit cards, cash, flex and HSA cards.
We also accept MedLoan Finance. There is much variation in coverage for this treatment despite the fact that insurance companies should be clamoring to have you treated, as it can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, which are expensive to treat, however some of the testing we do is still considered experimental and thus we do charge a cash price for some of our Hormonal testing. Our staff will be happy to answer your questions regarding these issues.
