Stem cell therapy – what do we know?
It’s a fact that people from around the world and Australia have undergone stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis.
It’s because of a vital Australian discovery.
In 2015, Australian scientists Vashe Chandrakanthan et al, solved the problem of reprogramming adult bone marrow and fat cells to form stem cells that could potentially regenerate any damaged tissue in the body.
These ‘kick started’ cells are known as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells).
This discovery meant that medical science could potentially use iPS cells to repair any part of the injured body, giving rise to medical practitioners using pluripotent stem cells for people suffering from the symptoms of osteoarthritis. This procedure seeks to use the body’s stems cells to repair damaged tissue.
What do the experts say?
Here are two published studies; one by the Medical Director of Life Uncoded and a second published by Regnexx in the USA, involving the treatment of knee arthritis. These interventions are not a cure, but appear to have helped to improve mobility, reduce pain and the need for other responses, such as surgery.
These studies and others reported by medical practitioners using stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis are not Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT) but involve documenting feedback and measured assessments from their patients, after treatment.
To measure the statistical significance of a range of stem cell treatment, many RCTs are underway.
Stem Cell Therapy at Life Uncoded
The stem cell therapy available through Life Uncoded that involves the treatment of arthritis related conditions, are allowable under the Excluded Goods Order No. 1 of 2011 administered by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
An initial consultation with our qualified medical practitioners will help you find out if stem cell therapy has the potential to help you with your condition.
