Gain Results From Your Own Cells
Biologic treatments have gone through many changes since I first got involved in 2009. The FDA has gradually tightened the reins on what we are able to offer. From 2009 until 2014, we were able to offer SVF (stromal Vascular Fraction) that’s the magic area around adipose cells (fat cells) that carry stem cells. However, the FDA decided that the methods of extraction were beyond our scope of practice and “more than minimal manipulation” whether mechanical or chemical. So, as a result, physicians became limited to “birth products such as umbilical cords and cord blood products”. This makes us dependent on verifying the validity of the source of these birthing products.
Stem cells can also be acquired from the bone marrow taken from the back of your pelvis.
