Stem cell therapy is a medical procedure in which stem cells are used to repair or replace damaged or diseased cells, tissues, or organs. Stem cells are unique in that they can self-renew and differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types.
There are several types of stem cells; Beike uses Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a type of adult stem cell found in many tissues, such as bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cord tissue. MSCs are distinct in that they can self-renew and differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types, including bone, cartilage, fat, and muscle cells.
MSCs have been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, making them appealing candidates for treating a variety of diseases and conditions, such as autoimmune, cardiovascular, neurological, and orthopedic conditions.
At our facility center, you will learn how to maximize the effects of the stem cells injected into your body, but you can start preparing yourself even before coming to treatment.
Here are some things you can do to prepare for and maximize the benefits of stem cell therapy:
Exercises/ Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is frequently used in conjunction with stem cell therapy because it can help maximize the treatment’s benefits while improving the patient’s overall health and function. Here are some examples of how rehabilitation can help stem cell therapy:
- Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help patients improve their mobility, strength, and flexibility, which is especially important after stem cell injections into a joint or muscle.
- Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy can assist patients in regaining the ability to perform daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and cooking.
- A structured exercise program, such as aquatic therapy or yoga, can help patients improve their overall physical fitness and assist the healing process.
- Other therapies: massage therapy, acupuncture, transcranial magnetic stimulation, oxygen therapy, and more…
**It is important to note that the type and intensity of rehabilitation will be determined by the patient’s specific condition as well as the area of the body treated with stem cells.
Nutrition Plan
A proper nutritional plan is essential for healing and regeneration. When you arrive at our facility center, our nutritionist will assess you and recommend a diet based on your condition. Consider the following key points:
- Hydration: To function properly, adequate hydration is required for cells, including stem cells.
- Protein: An adequate protein intake is necessary for tissue growth and repair.
- Antioxidants: Antioxidants protect cells from damage and aid in the healing process.
- Essential fatty acids: Essential fatty acids can help cells, including stem cells, develop and grow.
- Supplementation of vitamins and minerals: Certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc, can help the immune system and promote healing.
**For personalized nutritional support before stem cell therapy, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian.
Stress Management
Stress management is essential during/ post stem cell therapy because it can interfere with the healing process. Our experts’ recommendations for stress management during stem cell therapy include:
-
- Exercises: Physical activity regularly can help reduce stress and improve overall health.
- Deep breathing, meditation, and yoga are all relaxation techniques that can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
- Talking to friends, family, or a support group can help you feel less stressed and anxious.
- Mindfulness practices, such as paying attention to the present moment, can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
- Sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for stress reduction and overall health.
