WE ARE A PART OF A GLOBAL EFFORT PIONEERING STEM CELL TREATMENT
100+ Treatments In The Last Year Alone In Redding
This practice is dedicated to cutting-edge, highly professional procurement and delivery of autologous mesenchymal stem cells. This field is exciting for us, as well as for our affiliated physicians, and being able to offer such innovative stem cell therapy is a privilege, though it comes with great responsibility.

The Northern California Stem Cell Treatment Center is partnered with a large global organization called Cell Surgical Network. This affiliation, involving over 50 centers worldwide, shares our passion for this work and allows our practice and our patients the ability to add consequentially to the scientific knowledge base in clinical stem cell treatments.

We are pleased to be able to utilize our over 90 years of combined experience and expertise in treating patients to help forge progress in this exciting type of medicine, and we are dedicated to safely delivering stem cell therapy to our patients. We’ve been treating patients in Redding for over a year and seen more than 100 cases come through our office. Though the advancements thus far have been phenomenal, we are on the cusp of even greater life-changing medical innovations.
OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF STEM CELLS.
These are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use these cells throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate. Their role in our health is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures. They serve this function throughout our lives, and also exhibit profound anti-inflammatory properties.
ALMOST EVERY PART OF OUR BODIES CONTAIN SOME PRECURSOR OR STEM CELLS.
Certain parts of the body contain high concentrations of stem cells. Bone marrow contains stem cells, as does the peripheral blood. Human fat (adipose) tissue is loaded with what are called mesenchymal stem cells. These cells possess the capability of creating cells of various tissue types, especially the types that affect connective tissue. For this reason, they are worth their weight in gold for the possibilities that they contain for promising medical treatment options.
RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO USE A PERSON’S OWN STEM CELLS TO TREAT DISEASES FOR DECADES.
Infusion of one’s own (autologous) stem cells is often used in certain cancer patients to successfully “regrow” bone marrow cells after chemotherapy has been given to destroy the diseased cells.

There is a tremendous amount of research actively being conducted, both in the laboratory and clinically, to find other ways for stem cells to alleviate suffering in common, debilitating diseases.  For many of these ailments, current therapeutic options are either limited or highly invasive. Our process involves delivering stem cells throughout the body (systemically), as well as locally to the affected organ, when appropriate. This gives the patient the opportunity to use their own cells, now optimally directed, to heal a damaged body part or organ system.

Our Therapy Process
When undergoing treatment at PreciseCare, here’s what you can expect:

Step 1
First, you’ll come to our office for an initial evaluation. (If you’re not located in the area, the initial evaluation can be done over the phone.) Dr. Goswami will review your medical history and symptoms in-depth with you. According to your needs, he may also perform an imaging evaluation using either an ultrasound and or Xray, both of which are available on-site. Dr Goswami will then make the best recommendations based on your individual condition.

Step 2
If your treatment plan includes PreciseCare™ treatments, you’ll then schedule a date for treatment. Our nurse will review with you any special precautions you need to take or any medications that may need to be stopped prior to the procedure.

Step 3
On the day of treatment, you’ll come into our office. Dr. Goswami will go over the steps of the procedure and answer any last-minute questions you may have. You will get either oral or IV sedation with abundant local anesthesia. Most treatments are well tolerated and almost painless in our experienced hands. Once your treatment is complete, we’ll finalize the appointment as you leave our office with instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

Step 4
After your procedure, we will continue to follow-up with you. We will assess your level of activity and review your pain level, and make any recommendations as necessary to make sure you are on your way to a rapid recovery.

R3 Stem Cell Centers of Excellence provide treatment options that bring people hope and pain relief. Hope that going under the knife can be avoided, and injury can be repaired with the patient then being able to do things like hike, swim, ride a bike, play with your kids again and be… Free of Pain!

Existing pain management therapies have been excellent at reducing pain by masking discomfort in a “band-aid” fashion with medications such as cortisone, narcotics or anti-inflammatory medications.

These treatments work great for relief, but they do NOT repair the underlying problem!

Fixing Tissue InjurySo how is the problem actually fixed, whether it’s joint arthritis, neck or back pain, rotator cuff tendonitis, ligament injury, golfer’s or tennis elbow?

Regenerative Medicine at R3 Stem Cell has the potential for restoring normal anatomy by utilizing therapies with stem cells, platelet-rich plasma therapy, and growth factors to promote a healing response in your own body.

Stem Cells are akin to a blank slate and can change into several types of cells helpful for tissue regeneration depending on the environment in which they situated.
