Alaska
Even though Alaska is one of the least populated states in the U.S. it is not that difficult to find stem cell therapy in Alaska. The state currently has 11 stem cell therapy clinics that are up and running and there are no laws banning or restricting stem cell research. In a way this makes sense considering that Alaska is considered to be one of the last frontiers in the U.S. and stem cell research in a very real sense represents the leading frontier in the medical sciences.
Stem Cell Therapy in Alaska
If you are looking to get stem cell therapy in Alaska then you have three options for the different types of cells that you can get. They are autologous bone marrow, autologous fat tissue, or purified amniotic tissue. Both the bone marrow and fat tissue are derived from the individual who is undergoing the treatment, whereas the amniotic tissue comes from fetal membranes. The purified amniotic tissue is a little more flexible in terms of what it can be used for when compared with autologous cells and so there are more options for treatment with these cells.
Since some of the 11 stem cell clinics in Alaska offer purified amniotic cells this means that there are more treatment options than in some other states. Some of the treatments that are currently available at clinics in Alaska are:
Orthopedic Therapy
Pain Management Therapy
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles Tears
Ankle and Foot Arthritis
Ankle Sprains
Arthritis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Cartilage Defects
Degenerative Disc Disease
Elbow Tendinitis
Fractures
Hand and Wrist Arthritis
Hip Arthritis
Knee Arthritis
Knee Ligament Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
Post-herpetic Neuralgia
Post-laminectomy Syndrome
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Spinal Stenosis
Tension Headaches
This list is not complete as it would be far too long for the purposes of this page, but as you can see by what is listed the treatments vary greatly and cover a plethora of conditions that are difficult to treat through traditional medical means.
Laws Regarding Stem Cell Therapy in Alaska
Even though there are currently no laws regarding stem cell therapy in Alaska you should still use caution and do your due diligence before undergoing treatment of any sort. Currently, the FDA has only approved stem cell treatments for certain types of blood and bone marrow cancer and while this does not necessarily mean that other treatments are unsafe or ineffective, you should still be informed before making any decisions.
While not considered legislation, the FDA has started cracking down on clinics throughout the U.S. because they found that they were either misrepresenting the treatments that they were offering or engaging in practices that were not ethical. Considering how expensive stem cell treatment can be, which is anywhere from $700 to $5000 per treatment which will have to be paid out of pocket if you are getting a treatment that is not FDA approved, it is important that the treatment that you get is what you signed up for and you are aware of all of the benefits and side effects that come with it.
