Epidural Injections of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells
At Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells for Musculoskeletal Diseases and Orthopedic Conditions such as Joint Disorders (Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Post-traumatic Arthritis), Cartilage Damage (Chondromalacia Patellae, Focal Cartilage Defects, Osteochondral Lesions), Ligament and Tendon Injuries (Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears, Rotator Cuff Tears, Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis), Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis), Achilles Tendinitis/Tears, Plantar Fasciitis), Bone Disorders (Osteonecrosis; Avascular Necrosis, Bone Fracture Nonunions and Delayed Healing, Stress Fractures, Osteoporosis, Rickets and Osteomalacia), Spine Conditions (Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), Herniated Disc, Facet Joint Syndrome, Spinal Stenosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)), Muscle Injuries (Muscle Strains and Tears, Myopathies), Inflammatory and Autoimmune Conditions (Bursitis, Tendinitis), Other Orthopedic Applications (Meniscus Tears of Knee Joints, Labral Tears of Hip or Shoulder Labrum, Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee), Trochanteric Bursitis of Hip, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome of Wrist, Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)), Sports-Related Injuries (SRI), we utilize epidural injections of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells as a targeted approach to treat various conditions, including radicular symptoms and other pain syndromes. This method allows for localized delivery of therapeutic agents directly to the affected areas, enhancing healing and reducing inflammation.
Overview of Epidural Injections of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells for Musculoskeletal Diseases and Orthopedic Conditions
Definition:
Epidural injections involve the administration of medication or therapeutic agents into the epidural space, which is the area surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. This technique is often used to alleviate pain associated with nerve compression or inflammation.
Purpose:
The primary goal of epidural injections is to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Alleviate pain
- Improve mobility
- Enhance the effectiveness of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells for Musculoskeletal Diseases and Orthopedic Cond
Techniques Utilized for Epidural Injections
- Real-time imaging is used to ensure accurate placement of the needle in the epidural space, minimizing risks and maximizing efficacy.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections:
- Ultrasound technology helps visualize structures around the spine, allowing for precise needle placement and improved safety during the injection process.
- In some cases, Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells may be injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid for more systemic effects, targeting both nerve roots and surrounding tissues.
Combination Therapy:
- Epidural injections may be combined with other treatments, such as corticosteroids or local anesthetics, to enhance pain relief while delivering Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells for regenerative purposes.
Targeted Delivery of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs):
- MSCs are injected into the epidural space to promote healing of inflamed or damaged nerve roots, leveraging their regenerative properties.
Use of Biologics:
- In addition to stem cells, biologics such as growth factors may be included in the injection to further stimulate healing processes in the affected area.
Benefits of Epidural Injections
- Localized Treatment: Directly targets areas of pain and inflammation without systemic side effects.
- Enhanced Efficacy: Improves the delivery and effectiveness of Cellular Therapy and Stem Cells by placing them closer to the site of injury.
- Minimally Invasive: Offers a less invasive alternative to surgical interventions while providing significant pain relief.
- Improved Functionality: Aims to restore mobility and reduce dependence on pain medications.
