Softwave Therapy and Stem Cell Regeneration
In order for our bodies to function optimally, it has the innate ability to heal itself. There are many ways this occurs, one being that each cell or tissue in our body MUST regenerate itself throughout a lifetime. Are you ready to take back your health and jump for joy?
The reason for this is that our body’s cells and tissues lose the ability to renew themselves once they are differentiated to take on a certain physiological function. These cells also get “used up” due to natural turn around, physical exertion, and/or damage due to injury or disease.
This is HUGE when discussing soft tissue regeneration!
Why?
Our body is equipped with an endogenous repair system in order to counter this body response.
Guess what that repair system is?
Our Endogenous Stem Cells. Stem cells are the body’s own reservoir to ensure tissue regeneration.
Now let’s take a moment to understand what Stem Cells are.
Stem Cells are Self- Renewal. This means that they have the ability to divide and replicate over time.
Stem Cells also are Physiologically Unspecified. This means they do not take over a tissue specific function
Stem Cells Do Have the ability to Differentiate. Although they are naturally unspecific, in the necessary situations they do have the ability to become specialized cells. So, a stem cell can differentiate into muscular tissue, they can differentiate into ligaments or tendons, they can differentiate into blood cells, they can differentiate into nerve cells, they can take the form of almost all cell, tissue or organ in the body. That is so fascinating and groundbreaking!
There are 2 major types of Stem Cells:
Embroyonic Stem Cells (ESC): These are the stem cells that are present in the early developmental stages of life. They are what’s called pluripotent, meaning they have the unlimited ability to differentiate into any cell type. This gives huge potential for therapeutic reasons, but difficult because many people do not have access to embryonic stem cells unless they have the placenta that houses these stem cells.
Adult Stem Cells aka Somatic Stem Cells: These are stem cells that are present during adolescence and adulthood. They are multipotent cells, meaning they are meant to maintain and repair the body. These cells are hard to isolate and do not renew themselves easily in cultures. This makes it difficult use for therapeutic reasons.
There is a specific type of Adult Stem Cells called Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC). These MSCs are multipotent cells that arise from the mesenchymal stroma which is the connective tissues around other tissues and organs. The first MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow but now they can be isolated from umbilical cord stroma, adipose tissue and the dental pulp. These are the stem cells received when a doctor administers stem cell injections into a joint.
What makes this so fascinating and what ties this to Softwave Therapy is that TRT Softwave Therapy, the amazing groundbreaking device used at Regenerate Softwave Therapy, is a form of Extracorpeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) that activates endogenous tissue-specific mesenchymal stem cells, chemoattractant factors and a number of regeneration and growth-associated molecular signaling factors. These are released in the treatment area to stimulate stem cell migration, proliferation and differentiation of MSCs and results in revascularization, inhibits inflammation, and improves tissue regeneration and remodeling. Due to this high self-regenerative potential, the spectrum of treatable diseases is constantly increasing; musculoskeletal disorders, wound healing, nerve regeneration, cardiovascular conditions, urogenital dysfunction, as well as many other clinical application areas.
Today, transplants are being used to replace damaged and/or lost tissues and organs. Stem cell therapies offers an alternative source of healing for destroyed tissues and comes with minimal invasiveness and side-effects.
In summary, because of their unique properties, stem cells have the potential to heal a wide range of conditions and holds a hope for sustainable cures to many devastating conditions that otherwise do not have one.
We are ready to help you with your pain. Regenerate Softwave Therapy, using the TRT Orthogold 100 Softwave Therapy machine, is an alternative approach for activating stem cells in order to help heal damaged tissues.
