Why don’t I get “stem cells”?

Regenerative medicine is an exciting and evolving form of healing.  The more research that is done on this therapy, the more scientists push towards using the bodies own, natural healing.  The term “stem cells” has become a synonym in society for regenerative medicine when, in fact, very rarely are actual stem cells indicated or used.  In fact, the FDA is working towards a ban of the use and marketing the words “stem cells” as it is misleading.  PRFM is the frontline treatment of choice for most conditions.  It uses the bodies own natural healing properties and the outcomes are proving superior to older products commonly referred to in the public as “stem cells”.  At Innovative Pain and Wellness, we strive to provide a fully transparent and ethical patient experience.  Therefore, we have chosen to follow the current guidelines and not use the words “stem cells.”
