Over
the last decade many breakthroughs have occurred in the beginning of 21st
century in medicinal branch. Of late, lower back injuries, spinal cord have
become the common disorder among Americans owing to the changing lifestyle.
Typically, Spinal cord injuries are mostly occurred by trauma, sporting
incidents, mostly with devastating consequences. Reportedly, of the 2, 50,000
cases of lower back injuries, 80% were male.
Young people in the age group of 25-30 are mostly affected.
Generally, the spinal cord is a fragile,
tubular bundle of nerves that extends the Central Nervous System to the brain
and is protected by the bony vertebral column. Spinal nerves carry information
in the form of nerve impulses pertaining to what is going-on inside and outside
the body to and from the brain. In the case of accident, if the spinal cord is ruptured,
the sections below the injury will be cut off from the main circuit linking the
brain. This apparently means that the nerves connecting the brain makes it stop
functioning. Spinal cord injuries are characterized as ‘’irreversible’’ that
eventually leads to permanent paralysis – means lifetime disability. This
largely happens owing to the inability of the CNS to regenerate. This is where
MetroMD comes to the rescue of myriad of patients for treating lower back
injuries, spinal cord and disk woes. The institute is prominent for Regenerative Medicine in Los Angeles.
‘’It is interesting to learn that an adult
human body has got the sufficient stem cells that can be used in a targeted
fashion to work on the affected parts. Stem Cell Therapy is a clinically
proven breakthrough technology to deal with the patients’ lower back, spinal cord, and vertebral
discs’’, says Alex Martin, Medical Director with the institute. In the present
time majority of the patients negate the surgical procedures that come in a
costly package with higher downtime. To avoid the surgical adventure, stem cell
options is emerging one of the wonderful breakthroughs and after looking at the
patients MRI it is determined if the patient is qualified to undergo the
therapy. How the therapy is performed? The procedure begins with extracting the
stem cells from the hip bone in a painless manner and isolated those cells from
marrow cells and re-injecting in a targeted fashion under the careful guidance
of the medical supervisor. Patients can expect the healing in six weeks’ time. The
institute offers the FDA approved treatments and serves in Hollywood, Beverly
Hills, Los Angeles, Orange County.
