Stem Cell Therapy (Regenerative Cell Therapy)

FACTS

1. Autologous Stem Cell Therapy is available to us through Vet-Stem. We send Vet-Stem a fat sample from our patients (canine or feline) and they return us stem cells within 48 hours for intra-articular or intravenous injection.

2. Stem cell therapy is called Regenerative Cell Therapy because the processed material the lab sends back to us contains somatic stem cells which can differentiate into multiple types of tissue and secrete multipotent progenitors that provide growth factors, cytokines and other prohealing substances.
   

3. Current indications in dogs and cats include osteoarthritis such as severe OA of the elbows, hips and/or knees, nonunion fractures, tendon injuries and poorly healing wounds. Promising areas for thepory include chronic hepatitis, immune disease and any other condition that might benefit from regenerative cell theporyt. We can use Regenerative Cell Thepory on these types of cases now if use is approved by Vet-Stem.
   

4. Somatic stem cell can differentiate into bone, cartilage, nerve, muscle (including cardiac) and other types of tissue.
   

5. In one study in horses with chronic OA 66.7% returned to full performance, 28.6% had measured improvement and 4.8% had no response. Results from pilot studies on dogs with severe OA of the hip or elbows are comparable to the results of the equine studies.
   

6. Client charges range from $1500.00 to $2500.00 total cost. If the client chooses they can bank any remaining stem cells for $150.00 per year after the first year.
