How stem cells promote healing of sports and orthopedic injuries, alleviate chronic pain, and potentially increase performance.
“I wanted stem cell therapy at BioXcellerator for a chance at a better life. I used to be stiff because I broke my neck twice, my lower back once, and the middle of my back is all jacked up. Now, after stem cell therapy, no pain, no inflammation. This is a game changer!”
UFC Legend Ken Shamrock
Professional athletes obviously do everything they can to achieve peak performance. It is, after all, their job. So, staying in peak condition isn’t merely a lifestyle choice, but essential to a successful athletic career. After all, any injury could threaten both physical and doing what you love.
Plenty of others stay fit because it’s a way of life. That’s a different perspective, of course, but to your body it doesn’t make any difference. An injury causes damage and pain to professional athletes and every day people like you and me.
But as more professional athletes are turning to stem cell therapy to enhance performance, recover more quickly from training, and alleviate pain from injuries, so-called “weekend warrior” athletes also are taking note of these life-changing treatments.
Can Stem Cells Improve Performance?
The reason you have muscle and joint soreness after training (in addition to lactic acid build up) is because various tissues are damaged during workouts and your body needs to repair that damage using stem cells. The more stem cells available, the more efficiently your body can heal itself so you can:
- Recover more quickly from injuries and training
- Reduce pain
- Increase/maintain performance as you age
Stem cells, which are created in your bone marrow, can be turned into any type of cell. So if you need new muscle cells, your body uses stem cells to regenerate muscle tissue, or new cartilage to heal discs and tendons, or any other type of cell.
Unfortunately, as we age, we don’t produce as many stem cells as when we were younger. The result? Injuries don’t heal as quickly. It takes longer to recover from extreme training. Joint pain can become chronic and severe.
That’s because while some injuries are obvious, others are very tiny—but they add up. If you don’t have enough stem cells, those small injuries don’t heal as quickly, which is why pain gets worse and recovery from training becomes extended.
Stem Cells Bring New Healing Power to the Body
Because stem cell therapy is based on natural repair processes, there’s little risk of side effects of medication and there are many other health benefits. Indeed, stem cells a help modulate the body’s immune function, reduce inflammation, and regenerate damaged tissues. That certainly helps with pain, but it also optimizes overall health to
- Revitalize the body
- Increase energy
- Improve cognitive ability
- Enhance sexual wellness
When it Comes to Physical Injuries, Stem Cell Therapy Can Be Used to Treat:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain and injuries
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Injuries to shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles, knees, and hips
- Ligament and tendon sprains and tears (ACL, MCL, rotator cuff, labrum)
- Arthritis and tendonitis
- Regenerate cartilage to prevent bone-on-bone pressure
- Injuries to soft tissues
- And more
Our patients explain the benefits of stem cell therapy for getting healthier—and more importantly, staying in peak shape—even improving strength late in their careers. Learn more about our advanced therapies for sports injuries here.
At Bioxcellerator, We Treat a Wide Range of Patients, Some of Them Well-known Athletes Who Want to Make Sure They Stay Competitive.
Nick Best “Stronger than He’s Ever Been”
For example, world record holder and professional American Strong Man competitor, Nick Best pushes his body to the limit and certainly has sustained many lingering injuries. But after stem cell treatment he said he has “much more flexibility—and it’s been just two days. I’m ecstatic by the way this is going—and the best part is that it’s going to keep on going for months.”
He’s right, of course, because stem cell treatment results are not only rapid, they extend several weeks and months after treatment. Nick told us the reason he came to BioXcellerator for treatment was that he’s “watched how it works,”—seeing exceptional results in two of his friends— professional wrestler Ryback Reeves and 2-time UFC Champion Frank Mir.
“I trained with Ryback both before and after he was treated here,” Nick said. “Ryback was pretty beat up and hobbled, but he’s doing great now.”
“As for Frank, he went from squatting 500 pounds to 610 pounds after stem cell therapy. That’s massive. Frank’s now stronger than he’s ever been!” he added.
We’ve Also Treated WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.
It’s incredible that someone in their 40s can remain competitive in such an extreme sport, but Bobby’s still going strong.
He said, “I am 44 years old and was wondering if I can continue to go on in the WWE. Other athletes recommended BioXcellerator to me and after stem cell therapy, my knees feel great, my energy is better, I recover more quickly from training, and it added a few more years to my career.”
He added that “this is something that everyone should consider for injuries or if you just want to feel better.”
Make Sure You Get the Best Treatment. All Stem Cells Are Not Alike.
If you’re considering stem cell therapy, make sure you find out what type of stem cells you’ll be receiving. They’re not alike—far from it. U.S. clinics don’t usually provide a high quantity of stem cells, nor cells of the highest possible potency. As current FDA regulations limit the use of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the United States because they are not permitted to be expanded or multiplied from their original state. This expansion process allows us to provide patients with tens of millions of cells per treatment to extend the potency and viability of stem cell therapy.
At BioXcellerator, our proprietary process for harvesting and culturing stem cells is based on a specific type of cell—mesenchymal stem cells from the Wharton’s Jelly in umbilical cords.
Next, we take these cells and screen them for properties that indicate the cells with the best potential to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and regenerate damaged tissues. Then we take only those cells that meet these strict criteria, purify them, and then culture and expand them into infusions of millions of high-potency cells for each treatment.
If you’re going to lead an active lifestyle, sports, and orthopedic-related injuries and pain are going to be a part of your life. But thanks to advanced cell therapies, you live a more active life with less pain, better overall health, and plenty of other overall health benefits.
