About Back Injuries

  • Back injuries (BI) refer to damage to the muscular or skeletal systems, typically caused by strenuous activity. These injuries affect bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, or tendons, resulting in pain.

  • Back injuries (MSIs) involve damage to bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves, and are highly prevalent. As you age, the likelihood of experiencing these injuries increases.

    Back pain can arise suddenly or develop gradually, sometimes becoming long-lasting. This pain encompasses a range of conditions and can result from dislocations (when a joint is pushed out of its natural alignment), repetitive stress injuries, strains, fractures, and postural dysfunctions.

 

The Treatment Journey

  • The backbone, or spine, is a crucial structure that supports your body, enabling you to walk, bend, and move. It connects various parts of the musculoskeletal system, while the surrounding musculature helps maintain balance and trunk movement. Injuries to the back, spinal cord disorders, and other issues can damage the spine, leading to back discomfort.

    Treatment includes:

    Medications: Back pain often requires prescription drugs, as over-the-counter NSAIDs may not be effective.

    Physical Therapy: Techniques such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), heat and cold therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and myofascial release can effectively relieve back pain.

    Complementary Therapies: Shiatsu, yoga, and chiropractic care can help alleviate back discomfort.

    Surgery: Surgical options include spinal fusion, vertebrae removal, and discectomy.

  • Stem cells are integral to the body's natural repair processes. They are present in fat cells and bone marrow cells, and in this case, we use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from donor cord blood. When applied to damaged areas, these stem cells activate the growth of new, healthy cells, facilitating the body's healing process. Stem Cell Therapy enhances the body's repair mechanisms by introducing new stem cells.

  • Back injuries (BI) can be caused by various factors, such as overstretching tissue, inflammation, athletic activities, overuse, and the natural aging process. Stem Cell Therapy is particularly effective for treating long-term illnesses and injuries that are difficult to cure, such as MSIs. By supporting the body's natural healing processes and generating new cells, Stem Cell Therapy has the potential to restore damaged tissue.

    Stem cells have a remarkable ability to self-renew and differentiate into any cell type. This capacity allows them to transform into other tissues and regulate the immune system's response, promoting faster regeneration and recovery of muscles, connective tissues, and bones.

  • Studies have shown that regeneration and repair processes are regulated by a complex interaction between the immune system and the musculoskeletal system. When tissue rupture occurs, it triggers a cascade of reactions involving both systems.

    Initially, an inflammatory response is generated, beginning with neutrophils and followed by macrophages. The production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and the activity of macrophages are crucial for the regeneration and growth of disrupted tissues in the musculoskeletal system. The immune response to Back injuries varies between the acute and chronic phases due to the differing roles of macrophages.

  • Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells with the ability to self-renew. In musculoskeletal injuries, MSCs repair and preserve damaged cells by replacing compromised and malfunctioning cells with healthy tissue. They work by naturally activating and releasing an anti-inflammatory response, thereby reducing pain. MSCs also produce healthy blood cells that aid in repair, particularly in tissues with insufficient blood flow, such as tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. This process results in improved functional ability, pain relief, and the repair of damaged tissues, with the ultimate goal of minimizing the need for surgery by reducing pain and enhancing functionality.

  • Stem Cell Therapy and Exosomes offer an effective treatment for Back disorders, leveraging the vital role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in disease prevention and progression. One common issue in musculoskeletal disorders is cartilage destruction, which can be mitigated by silencing miRNA-101 through exosomes, helping to prevent cartilage degradation in arthritis.

    Another significant benefit of MSC-Exosome Therapy is promoting osteoclast differentiation and bone-forming cell proliferation. Studies have shown that exosomes can protect against acute tubular injuries by mediating cell interactions and stimulating cell proliferation, thereby aiding in the control of various diseases and traumas.

How is the treatment at The Renue Medical Centre different?


The Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Centre is a holistic approach to treating Musculoskeletal Problems.  

Your Renue Journey for Back Repair with Stem Cells consists of four phases:

  1. Pre-treatment: You will take our Renue Epigenetic Test powered by TruDiagnostics, which will assert your biological age and other important health markers. Your TruDiagnostics test is part of The Renue Difference. It provides your doctor with critical information about your health and your true age (biological vs chronological). After the epigenetic test and we have received all your medical records, your Patient Advisor will assist you in planning your travel to Puerto Vallarta.

  2. Treatment day: On the treatment day, a specific amount of blood is taken through apheresis to activate the Stem Cells for administration. A total of 100 million umbilical cord-mesenchymal Stem Cells are inserted in one sitting through the IV route; in addition, 4 injections of 25 Million around the affected area of the back.

  3. 30, 60 & 90 days follow-up: To check for flare-up frequency, improvements, pain, and irritation

  4. Six months after treatment: Lab tests, flare-up frequency, clinical evaluation, mobility, quality of life, and prognosis

Significance of Hyperbaric Chambers post-treatment:

Breathing pressurized air in a pressured atmosphere is known as hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-known method of improving stem cell therapy outcomes. 

With this session:

  • Growth factors and Stem Cells are released, which aid in the healing process

  • Treat infections and fight bacterias that might occur after Stem Cell Therapy

  • Heal stubborn wounds, which are left untreated with any other treatment

  • The increased amount of oxygen in the blood consequently improves oxygen supply in the tissues and enhances the regeneration process

 

Expected Results

SCT to live a better life: Benefits and outcomes

The effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment can improve all your symptoms, causing a considerable impact on your quality of life and daily activities.

As part of The Renue Difference, you will receive three Hyperbaric Chamber sessions that greatly improve SCT efficacy and stimulate the body cells to treat MSIs in the back. These sessions comprise three days: one day before treatment, after treatment, and on the day of treatment.

According to results, clinical outcomes, and pre and post-treatment observations, SCT has been shown to help

  • Reduce MSIs progression

  • Speed up tissue repair

  • Regrow and repair tissues after six months

After the SCT procedure, an MRI test depicts the further need for the treatment at a specific body site.

Talk to our Patient Advisor to know more about SCT at The Renue Medical Centre.


Expected results and prognosis:

Back disorders are one of the most consulted diseases, and their treatment can get complex sometimes. 

Stem Cell Therapy has shown positive outcomes in the treatment of musculoskeletal back conditions, divided into the following phases:

  • Prognosis I: Instant benefit achieved in the first-week post-treatment is reduced pain and inflammatory symptoms

  • Prognosis II: Approximately three months after Stem Cell Therapy, patients will experience improvement in trunk and back mobility as well as achieve a partial to complete range of motion. Pain with back mobility will also decrease

  • Prognosis III: In the chronic phase of recovery, six months post-treatment, patients’ quality of life improves, and mobility continues to enhance, resulting in independence in daily life activities

 

FAQ’s

  • Despite the potential therapeutic promise of Stem Cell-based treatments, there are still some risk factors with this treatment. Before using stem cells in a therapeutic setting, it's important to assess the risk factors. 

    Some of the risk factors are:

    • Harmful reactions in the area of administration

    • Formation of benign tumors

    • Stem cells can travel from the site of injection to other areas of the body and possibly reproduce into harmful cells and multiply

    • Stem cells might not operate the way they are expected

  • The majority of the adverse outcomes and side effects are manageable. Wounds and any bleeding from the treatment area must be properly managed in diabetic individuals. Infections and inflammation can be treated with over-the-counter drugs, which can help reduce adverse effects. A thorough pre-and post-operative preparation program helps you avoid and control all of the risks involved with Stem Cell Treatment. 

 

Stem Cell Therapy has a great potential to be more effective for treating Musculoskeletal Injuries than previous methods and carries less risk. SCT has a great potential to emerge as one solution to all human body problems.  

All the treatment options for Musculoskeletal Injuries have been temporary options for just treating the symptoms. With the invention of Stem Cells Replacement Therapy, hopes and prognosis of the disease treatment have been raised. It has the potential to be more effective than previous methods and also carries less risk. 

The benefits and effects of Stem Cell Therapy depend on several factors: the patient's health condition, underlying issues, lifestyle, and others. To assess your expected results, we would like to know more about you. A medical advisor will talk to you about your diagnosis and treatment options and collect information for the attending physician; they can answer all your initial questions:

  • Will the therapy work for my case? 

  • What does the treatment involve? Is it painful?

  • Is it expensive? How much does it cost?
