Stem Cell Therapy

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a blanket term that refers to several types of regenerative medicine. Simple Men’s Health works with leaders in the field of stem cells worldwide to develop custom care plans that are safe and effective.

They're pluripotent, meaning that they can transform them into any other type of cell in a laboratory setting. This makes stem cells ideal for treating a variety of common problems, including back pain, ligament tears, muscle strains, and more. 

It’s possible to create newer, healthier cells by replacing diseased or damaged cells with stem cells. Regenerative medicine treatments also encourage circulation while easing inflammation. With stem cells, the worn-out connective tissues around joints that are usually the target of inflammation and pain may be renewed. This means quick and effective recovery, without the need for traditional invasive procedures like orthopedic surgery.

Simple Men’s Health uses several forms of stem cells, including:

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells are the most effective when it comes to repairing and replacing damaged tissues in deteriorated knee, hip, and other joints that are subjected to heavy wear and tear. This form of pluripotent stem cell is commonly derived from the umbilical cord and placenta. 

The Umbilical Cord and Wharton’s Jelly

The umbilical cord has one vein and two arteries. Surrounding and protecting these vital blood vessels is a sticky, gel-like substance called Wharton’s Jelly. It was discovered that Wharton’s Jelly is rich in mesenchymal stem cells. 

Amniotic Stem Cells

Amniotic stem cells are taken from the amniotic fluid and sac that surrounds the embryo. These membranes can help heal damaged tendons and other connective tissues.

Are there different types of regenerative medicine?

Simple Men’s Health offers several regenerative medicine treatments, including:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) involves your Simple Men’s Health provider injecting a platelet-rich solution into an injured or ailing joint or soft tissue. Once the PRP solution enters your body, it goes to work, relieving inflammation, easing pain, and encouraging the growth of new blood cells and growth factors. When combined, these processes speed up your recovery, allowing you to return to your normal routine quickly and with almost no side-effects.  

P-shots

P-shots are a subcategory of PRP and provide a chemical-free treatment for erectile dysfunction. During this type of regenerative medicine treatment, your Simple Men’s Health provider injects a platelet-rich solution into your penis. A P-shot increases circulation to your penis and generates newer, healthier blood cells. Ultimately, this process makes it easier to get and maintain erections. 

Bone marrow concentrate (BMC)

If you experience acute or chronic pain as a result of osteoarthritis or a tendon injury, you might benefit from treatment with bone marrow concentrate (BMC).  BMC uses regenerative cells found in your blood marrow to create new growth factors. These growth factors relieve pain and speed up your body’s natural recovery process. BMC treatment involves your Simple Men’s Health provider drawing a sample of bone marrow from your body, placing it into a centrifuge, and reinjecting the powerful BMC concentrate into a damaged area.

What type of stem cell therapy is right for me?

Before developing a custom care plan, Simple Men’s Health considers all aspects of your physical health and well-being. This process involves a comprehensive physical exam, a review of your medical history, and a discussion of your symptoms.

Why is regenerative medicine the unequivocal answer?

It is now internationally recognized that regenerative medicine is the direction in which modern healthcare is moving. 

When used to treat osteoarthritis affecting the knee, which affects over 27.7 million Americans, stem cell therapy has an 80% success rate at improving conditions and increasing mobility. 

At Simple Men's Health, the results are astounding with positive outcomes in more than 98% of cases, while virtually absent of complications.
