Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Therapy & Comprehensive Rehabilitation in Dhaka: Harnessing Your Body's Healing Potential

For individuals suffering from chronic pain, degenerative joint conditions, or injuries that resist conventional treatments, the prospect of true tissue repair and regeneration offers immense hope. Stem Cell Therapy, a cutting-edge approach in Regenerative Medicine, aims to harness the body's innate healing capabilities to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function.

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we are at the forefront of integrating advanced regenerative therapies with a precise, evidence-based rehabilitation approach. While the medical procedure of administering stem cells is performed by qualified medical specialists, our role is crucial in preparing your body for the therapy and, critically, guiding your post-procedure recovery to ensure the best possible outcomes, maximizing the regenerative potential of these remarkable cells.

What is Stem Cell Therapy? Unlocking Your Body's Master Cells

Stem cells are the body's "master cells" – unique cells with the remarkable ability to:

1. Self-renew: Divide and create more stem cells.

2. Differentiate: Transform into various specialized cell types (e.g., cartilage cells, bone cells, muscle cells, nerve cells).

In Stem Cell Therapy, these powerful cells (often sourced from your own bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue, known as autologous stem cells) are precisely delivered to areas of injury or degeneration. Once in the targeted area, they are believed to work by:

• Reducing Inflammation: Modulating the immune response to decrease pain and swelling.

• Promoting Tissue Repair & Regeneration: Stimulating the growth of new, healthy cells and tissue structures.

• Secreting Growth Factors: Releasing beneficial proteins that encourage healing and reduce scar tissue formation.

• Modulating Pain Signals: Potentially altering nerve pathways that transmit pain.

Applications Relevant to Musculoskeletal & Neurological Health: Stem cell therapy holds significant promise for a range of conditions commonly treated in physiotherapy, including:

• Degenerative Joint Disease (Osteoarthritis): Repairing damaged cartilage in knees, hips, shoulders, and other joints.

• Chronic Tendinopathies: Healing persistent tendon injuries (e.g., Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy).

• Ligament Injuries: Promoting the regeneration of torn or stretched ligaments.

• Spinal Disc Degeneration: Aiding in the repair of damaged intervertebral discs.

• Nerve Injuries: Supporting nerve regeneration and recovery.

• Chronic Pain Syndromes: Addressing the underlying tissue pathology contributing to pain.

Who Benefits from Stem Cell Therapy (and AdvanCell's Integrated Care)?

You might consider exploring Stem Cell Therapy and benefit from AdvanCell's comprehensive support if you are:

• Suffering from chronic pain due to degenerative conditions or injuries that haven't responded well to conventional treatments (e.g., physical therapy, medication, injections).

• Diagnosed with mild to moderate osteoarthritis in joints like the knee, hip, or shoulder.

• Experiencing persistent tendon or ligament injuries (e.g., chronic tendinitis, partial ligament tears).

• Seeking a minimally invasive alternative to surgical intervention for tissue repair.

• Looking to accelerate healing and optimize recovery after a significant injury or in the presence of age-related tissue degeneration.

• Planning to undergo Stem Cell Therapy with a medical specialist and require expert pre- and post-procedure rehabilitation to maximize your outcomes.

• Exploring advanced regenerative options to enhance your body's natural healing capacity.

AdvanCell's Integrated Approach to Stem Cell Therapy & Rehabilitation

At AdvanCell, we recognize that the success of Stem Cell Therapy extends beyond the injection itself. It requires a strategic and progressive rehabilitation program to guide the newly regenerating tissues, restore biomechanics, and rebuild strength. We work collaboratively with your treating medical specialist to provide comprehensive, integrated care that optimizes your healing journey:

• Pre-Therapy Preparation: We prepare your body for the therapy by improving local tissue health, reducing inflammation, and optimizing joint mechanics, which can enhance the environment for stem cell integration.

• Post-Therapy Rehabilitation: This is where our specialized physiotherapy plays a critical role. After the stem cell injection, precise and controlled rehabilitation is essential to:

• Protect the healing tissues.

• Gradually introduce loading to stimulate regeneration.

• Restore optimal range of motion and strength.

• Re-educate movement patterns.

• Ensure a safe and effective return to full activity.

How We Help: Our Integrated Rehabilitation Programs Include

Our programs are meticulously designed to complement and enhance the effects of Stem Cell Therapy:

1. Thorough Pre-Therapy Assessment & Planning:

• Detailed Musculoskeletal Evaluation: Assessing your pain, range of motion, strength, stability, and identifying any compensatory patterns.

• Patient Education: Explaining the recovery process, setting realistic expectations, and outlining the role of rehabilitation.

• Pre-Habilitation Exercises: Preparing the surrounding muscles and joints to create an optimal healing environment.

• Collaboration: Liaising with your medical specialist to understand the specifics of your stem cell procedure and align our rehabilitation plan accordingly.

2. Post-Therapy Comprehensive Rehabilitation (Phased Approach):

• Phase 1: Protection & Initial Healing (Acute Post-Injection):

• Pain & Swelling Management: Utilizing gentle modalities like Cryotherapy (Ice) and specific Laser Therapy (LLLT/PBMT) to reduce inflammation and discomfort without interfering with cell activity.

• Gentle Passive & Active-Assisted Range of Motion: To prevent stiffness while protecting the healing site.

• Educating on Activity Modification: Guiding you on appropriate rest and restricted movements during the initial critical healing phase.

• Phase 2: Controlled Loading & Early Strengthening (Proliferation Phase):

• Gradual Introduction of Controlled Loading: Carefully progressing weight-bearing and resistance exercises to stimulate tissue remodeling without overloading.

• Targeted Strengthening Exercises: Focusing on muscles that support the treated area (e.g., quadriceps and glutes for knee osteoarthritis, rotator cuff for shoulder injuries).

• Proprioception & Balance Training: Restoring your body's awareness and control over the joint.

• Manual Therapy: Gentle joint mobilizations to restore optimal joint mechanics and soft tissue techniques to reduce muscle guarding.

• Phase 3: Functional & Advanced Training (Remodeling Phase):

• Progressive Resistance & Endurance Training: Building strength and stamina to prepare for daily activities and sport.

• Functional Movement Re-education: Retraining movement patterns specific to your life and sport.

• Agility & Sport-Specific Drills: For athletes returning to high-impact activities.

• Gait Analysis & Retraining: Optimizing walking and running mechanics.

3. Advanced Modalities for Supportive Healing:

• While not directly stimulating stem cells, modalities like Therapeutic Ultrasound, Interferential Therapy (IFT), and TENS can be used judiciously to manage pain, reduce muscle spasm, and promote circulation, creating an ideal environment for the regenerative process.

4. Patient Education & Self-Management:

• Crucial for long-term success, we empower you with knowledge about your condition, the healing process, activity pacing, and a personalized home exercise program.

5. Ongoing Monitoring & Collaboration:

• Regular communication with your medical specialist to track progress, adapt the rehabilitation plan, and ensure a cohesive approach to your recovery.
