You should get stem cell injections for your knee if other treatments have not helped as stem cell injections for your knee are less invasive than total knee replacement surgery or stem cell therapy with very promising results.
Stem cell injections for your knee can help restore your knees joint function and reduce knee pain without requiring any extensive surgery and lengthy recovery time by using the body's natural abilities at healing.
Stem cell injections are not very painful as they will numb the area to make it as painless as possible like they would with a normal injection.
You might feel a slight pinch when the stem cell injection needle is inserted but it should not be very painful at all.
Stem cell injections do work for knees although some people find that the stem cell injections need done again a year later.
However stem cell injections are pretty effective at treating knee pain and knee osteoarthritis and improved pain levels and increase joint function and also enhance quality of the cartilage.
The life expectancy of stem cell therapy is 3 years to 5 years although some people live for many more years beyond this time.
Medicare does cover and pay for stem cell and stem cell therapy for FDA approved treatments.
The 2 problems with taking stem cells from adults are adult stem cells are more likely to contain abnormalities because of environmental hazards like toxins and errors that are acquired by the cells during replication and also because adult stem cells may not be able to be manipulated in order to produce all the cell types.
After a stem cell transplant most people live 5 years after the stem cell plant.
However some people live 10 to 15 years after the stem cell plant depending on the persons age and other overall health.
Stem cells help cure cancer by replacing the destroyed or damaged bone marrow cells that were destroyed or damaged because of the cancer.
Stem cells work to cure cancer by replacing the bone marrow cells that have been destroyed because of cancer or if the bone marrow cells have been destroyed by the chemo that is used to treat and cure cancer.
Stem cells survive much longer than ordinary cells, increasing the chance that they might accumulate genetic mutations.
It might take only a few mutations for one cell to lose control over its self-renewal and growth and become the source of cancer.
Stem Cells are viable for around 25 years in storage.
However they may be viable even longer but the storage of stem cells has not been around all that long to know for sure if they will last longer but they are likely to be viable longer than 25 years.
Stem cells and cord blood banking has been around for at least 25 years and so far stem cells and cord blood has remained viable for those 25 years so far.
So we do know that stem cells and cord blood remain viable for at least 25 years when it's stored properly using cord blood banking.
However since cord blood and stem cell banking have not been around longer than 25 years as of now we cannot know how much longer stem cells and cord blood remain viable.
Hopefully the stem cells and cord blood never need to be used but it's likely that the stem cells and cord blood will remain viable for 30 to 50 years or even longer.
But most people would not be around or want to store cord blood or stem cells longer than 50 or so years anyway.
But at least as of now we know that the cord blood and stem cells are still viable and usable after 25 years of storage.
