About R3 Stem Cell

If you want to avoid surgery, achieve pain relief and get back to doing the activities you love, then R3 Stem Cell’s Centers of Excellence can make it happen!

Regenerative medicine is the medical discipline where the body’s own tissue is obtained from an individual and regenerative cells and proteins are then extracted to help manage conditions that the affected person may be suffering from. The techniques and methods used in regenerative medicine include:

• Stem cell therapy
  • Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy
  • Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

These therapies are mostly used by physicians to treat and manage sport-related injuries.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a medical procedure where stem cells are extracted and administered to individuals in order to treat a musculoskeletal, autoimmune, neurodegenerative or organ failure condition.

While stem cells can be harvested from bone marrow or adipose, R3 has found that a much higher cell count and better outcome can be obtained from using donor amniotic and umbilical cord tissue. These biologics are obtained ethically and in accordance with FDA regulations. Treatment is safe and usually highly effective!

No embryonic stem cells are used at all, only mesenchymal. They are able to turn into any specialized cell the body needs for repair and regeneration.

Stem cells do not perform a specific bodily function but they are tissue materials that can develop into another type of cell. When these cells are placed into an environment where cell damage has occurred, they convert into the cells that have been injured. These may include tissues such as:

• Cartilage
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Muscles
• Nerves
• Kidney, Lung, Brain, etc.

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy is a medical procedure where the following processes take place to manage patients who are suffering from certain sport-related injuries:

A blood sample is collected from the patient in the same way one is drawn to perform blood tests.

The blood is centrifuged (spun down) in order to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. In other words, the liquid portion of blood is separated from the solid material.

The plasma that collects on top of the red blood cells contains a high concentration of platelets and proteins called growth factors which are known to have healing and regenerative properties.

This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into or around the injured site. Numerous studies have been performed which have demonstrated how effective PRP therapy is in speeding up the healing process in sport-related injuries.

The following are the conditions that can be managed using PRP therapy:

• Chronic tendon injuries such as Tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, and Achilles tendonitis.
• Muscle and ligament injuries sustained during acute trauma.
• Arthritis of the knee.

PRP therapy has not only been proven to be an effective form of therapy, but it is also a safe treatment option which has been shown to be associated with minimal side effects and adverse events.
