Lumbar Puncture Procedure for Spinal Cord Injuries and Neurological Disorders
Traditionally, patients with spinal cord injuries have had few treatment options to regain movement and felling. Advances in the field of regenerative medicine offer hope of improved quality of life and independence to patients with complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries. Stem cell therapy introduces new cells into the body which target specific areas and replace damaged cells.
At Stem Cell Biotherapy we have set up a specialized protocol to treat patients with spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders. We offer a unique treatment combining injections through a sterile spinal catheter that implants the cells directly into the spinal column, and throughout the areas of disease and the spinal cord. Two subsequent IV stem cell treatments are repeated over a six day period, combined with light physical therapy and post treatment supplement enhancers to promote stem cell proliferation.
Our team of board certified surgeons follow a strict patient specific protocol in administration of stem cells as well as post treatment physical therapy. This new lumbar puncture procedure is currently performed by our highly skilled team at our global network of treatment centers. Post-stem cell treatment, patients are asked to submit regular examinations, MRI, PET scan and laboratory tests so we can monitor their progress.

have you guys just recently started doing this? (placing the cells in the injured area)
April,
Thank you so much for joining our blog community.
Our first lumbar puncture procedure was performed during the first weeks of April of this year. Since that time we have had several groups of patients go through the procedure and we’ve seen pretty amazing results. Bradley and Stephanie have their stories on our blog and were both in the first group to have the procedure done. You can follow Stephanie’s progress on her website at http://princessonwheels.startlogic.com .
Please call us at 877-STEM 123 to request more information or fill out our patient application at http://www.stemcellbiotherapy.com/cn/index.php/sn/form in order to set up a phone consultation.
