Scott Brandt, M.D. Stem Cell Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy Procedure

It is estimated that one in five Americans lives life in chronic pain. That’s a staggeringly high number of people who are at risk of associated conditions, including drug abuse, depression or other mental health disorders, which often lead to poor quality of life.

The study of stem cells remains one of science’s most promising frontiers. For more than 70 years, research has continued to shed light on the value and potential of stem cell treatments. From a basic understanding of the stem cell’s role in early cell differentiation to today’s more nuanced exploration of their regenerative effects, researchers and clinicians are harnessing the power of stem cells in ways that are improving the lives of patients with an increasing variety of problems and conditions. No longer are stem cell transplants (to treat cancer) ...
