What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative Medicine bases itself on using your own cells to heal itself. Cells that are capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type. They have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body and serve as what can be accurately describe as an “internal repair system,” replenishing other cells. Each divided cell has the potential to become another type of cell with a specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell. Regenerative Medicine is the administration of umbilical cord cells into a patient’s body based on the recommendation from your medical provider or nurse practitioner. The cells can be administered through injection or IV infusion to maximize the therapy’s reach.
Where do cells come from with Regenerative Medicine?
Umbilical Cord Cells are derived exclusively from the umbilical cord tissue of healthy birthed babies & healthy mothers, which is the safest and least-invasive method of extraction available.
What does Regenerative Medicine do?
- Seek out degeneration - They build, repair, and grow new tissue
- Anti-inflammatory - They are effective in reducing inflammation
- Immunomodulatory - They help modulate the body’s immune responses
What makes it special?
The future of medicine
A search of www.clinicaltrials.gov provides information on more than 4,000 clinical trials being conducted worldwide. Pluripotent A pluripotent cell has the capability of developing into various types of cells or tissues self-renewal.The cells replicate themselves every 28 hours for 65 generations, giving rise to millions of undifferentiated cells.
Advantages of Umbilical Cord Regenerative Medicine
- Regenerative Medicine is immune system privileged, so anyone can be treated.
- Regenerative Medicine supports anti-inflammatory activity, immune modulating capacity, and contain the optimum ability to stimulate regeneration.
- Regenerative Medicine can be administered multiple times in uniform dosages that contain high cells counts.
- Regenerative Medicine can be administered two ways: intra-articular (injected directly) or through an intravenous (I.V.) infusion.

The Procedure
1 - Before the Therapy
If possible, stop or reduce all aspirin products, non-steroidals, Vitamin E supplementation, and the use of fish oil at least five days before the therapy. Be sure to stay hydrated prior to the procedure.
2 - The Therapy
The duration of the therapy is short, simple, and can take between ten to twenty minutes depending on the amount administered and the procedure chosen. This time will include cleaning and prepping the injection points.
3 - After the Therapy
- At 3-4 Weeks Post-Therapy: Light exercises and stretching; no high-impact activities.
- One Month Post-Therapy: Aggressive stretching, light-weight training; as tolerated by joints
- Second Month-Post Therapy: Increase workout regiment and sport-specific activities.
