Research suggests that regenerative medicine therapies, now available at the Carolinas Center for Advanced Management of Pain in North and South Carolina, could help your body do that. With platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) serums or mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatments, your pain could be a part of your past. To get started with regenerative medicine, call one of the six offices — located in Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, and West Columbia, South Carolina, and Asheville and Gastonia, North Carolina — or use the convenient online form.

Stem Cell Therapy
We are part of a National Program to offer the latest treatment options and education for Stem Cell Therapy.Treatment of Joint Degeneration
Painful joints have often been treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen. These drugs are commonly used to treat the symptoms only of arthritis. Over time since the actual problem is not being addressed these patients require some type of surgery or even a total joint replacement. Total joint replacements have long recovery periods and are almost never the patient's first choice of treatment. These limitations of existing treatments have led doctors to look for other ways to effectively treat arthritis and degenerative related joint pain.
Don't operate, Regenerate!
Amniotic Tissue Allograph Injection (Amino)
Since joint degeneration involves the breakdown of cartilage, injection involving growth factors, proteins, amino acids, a matrix of collagen (A collective tissue found in the body), hyaluronic acid and stem cells make sense in aid of repairing a joint.

As we get older, our body’s regenerative capabilities can wane, leaving us prone to a range of painful degenerative conditions.
Cells from a living healthy baby’s umbilical cord could change this, providing the proteins, stem cells and growth factors needed to promote cell renewal and healing.
Injury Assessment
Do you suffer from pain in your back or your joints, such as hip or knee, which prevents you from living life to the fullest? Is walking, cycling, gardening, fishing, or exercising, no longer possible without pain? If you are missing out on your Golden Years, you need to see a regenerative medicine physician for a consultation. They can determine if the newest innovations in stem cell therapies are right for you.
The Treatment
The treatment is a simple non-surgical injection into the affected joint with no downtime or lengthy recovery. You may maintain your normal lifestyle and allow the cells to create a balanced optimal environment in your joints so your body can repair itself. You should feel maximal results within 3-9 months at which time you can increase your activity levels to match your comfort, but understand that the regenerative process can continue for long periods of time.
Regenerative Recovery
Umbilical cord cells contain growth factors, proteins, and stem cells that continue to produce additional growth factors and proteins for a period of time. These components have the potential to positively affect the environment inside the joint and to stimulate your own tissue to aid in the regenerative process while ALSO stimulating your NATIVE STEM CELLS to aid in regeneration.

Stem cell therapy is a safe option for people suffering from a variety of conditions.
No surgery: Faster recovery time and less potential for complications/side effects.
HUCT stem cells are undifferentiated cells, therefore the body does not reject them. Umbilical cord stem cells have been used for over 30 years to help reduce the chance of organ transplant rejection.
