Pain Management / Sports Injury
Stem cell therapy has been shown effective for treating injuries and highly beneficial as a pain management solution that offers long-lasting results. Palm Beach Health Works provides stem cell-based regenerative treatments for repairing damaged muscle or tissue and reducing pain and discomfort due to a number of common sports injuries and medical conditions.
The use of stem cells for injury repair and pain management offers accelerated recovery times and relief for individuals who have been living with pain from joint dysfunction and tissue damage centered in the ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscles.
As we age, our bodies start to show signs of wear and tear as muscles get sore, tendons can tear, and vital connective tissue begins to fail, leading to pain and discomfort. Don’t forget those injuries that you may suffer for just trying to stay active and get some much-needed physical exercise. Injuries from playing tennis, golf, even pickleball can result in chronic pain due to tendinitis, inflammation, or muscle strain and when you are suffering from the symptoms of these conditions, analgesics or prescription painkillers are temporary fixes.
Understanding Stem Cells
Getting to the root cause of the problem is still the best and most thorough method for keeping you pain-free. That’s where stem cells can have a significant impact on your health and wellness as these undifferentiated cells work to repair and regenerate damaged tissue in the body and reduce the symptoms of pain that never seem to fade away no matter what steps you take to achieve some relief.
They accomplish this by travelling to the affected area of the body in need of healing and recovery or pain relief. Once they reach that destination, the stem cells transform into new cells and regenerate new tissue that supports increased functionality with less pain. Stem cell injections can also direct your body’s own natural stem cells to gravitate towards the affected area to help in healing by combining together to build new tissue and increase functionality through tissue regeneration and repair.
Stem Cell Therapy Treatments for Pain Management
Stem cell therapy has delivered documented results for managing pain caused by neuropathic, musculoskeletal, osteoarthritic, discogenic back, and tendon and ligament health conditions.
Osteoarthritis
This chronic disease causes a systematic deterioration of cartilage and bone, leading to joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased mobility. Stem cell therapy can regenerate that cartilage and prevent the pain that comes from bone scraping against bone when the cartilage has been worn away.
Tendon and Ligament Injuries
Tendons and ligaments are the connective tissue tasked with attaching muscles to the bones and when these tissues become damaged due to injury caused by acute trauma or chronic wear and tear, the result is pain, swelling, and inflammation. When a tendon or ligament is injured or partially torn, stem cells can repair and strengthen the damaged tissue.
Muscle Pain
The most common causes of muscle pain are overuse and injury. Both of these can be addressed using stem cell therapy as the stem cells are injected directly into the affected area of the muscle to trigger the body’s natural healing processes for repairing the tissue, alleviating pain, and reducing inflammation.
Back Pain and Discomfort
Spinal conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, arthritis of the spinal cord, spinal cord injuries, and facet joint pain are common afflictions for individuals who can’t find relief from chronic back pain. Stem cells can stimulate tissue repair and bring down inflammation that may be contributing to the problem.
Plantar fasciitis
The most common and painful condition in the foot, centered in the heel, plantar fasciitis occurs from chronic overuse of the plantar fascia. This tissue that connects the toes to the heel bone can become inflamed, resulting in a burning sensation or stabbing pain along the heel of the foot. Stem cell therapy has been shown an effective and fast non-invasive treatment option to reduce the inflammation and increase mobility.
Stem Cells For Pain Management
Stem cells offer a variety of functional benefits for managing pain symptoms due to injury, inflammation, wear and tear, and other forms of dysfunction.
Anti-Inflammatory Attributes
Stem cells contain bioactive molecules that have been shown to reduce inflammation, a primary cause of chronic pain and discomfort in the body.
Tissue Regeneration
Stem cells have the capability to individuate between specific types of cells to restore damaged tissue. Whether it’s muscle, tendon, or cartilage that needs to heal, stem cells can differentiate between the cell types and convert into that form of cellular structure to regenerate the tissue.
Pain Indicator Disruption
The pathways that signal pain can be disrupted by stem cells by healing nerve damage and diminishing hypersensitivity.
Sports Injuries Treated by Stem Cell Therapy Treatments
Sports injuries can be debilitating, frustrating, and very painful. Stem cells have been shown a highly-effective solution for treating many common sports injuries, reducing the pain and inflammation related to these injuries and accelerating recovery times so you can get back to enjoying life and playing the sport you love.
Golf Injuries
Many clients who have come to Palm Beach Health Works have sought stem cell therapy for treating injuries sustained while playing golf.
These include:
Back Pain
More than half of the injuries sustained playing golf occur in the lower back, which can be aggravated and injured due to the motion of the body through the swing when hitting a golf ball.
Golfer’s Elbow
Clients diagnosed with Golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylitis, have damaged the tendons in the elbow. This is a common injury due to repetitive motions which are actually centered on the wrist.
Shoulder Injury
Tendonitis in the rotator cuff as well as bursitis are both common diagnoses for shoulder pain in golfers. The repetitive motion of the swing as well as poor technique can be contributing factors.
Wrist Injury
Wrist pain due to tendonitis is often the result of repetitive overuse and inflammation can occur.
Tennis Injuries
Common injuries sustained while playing tennis can be treated with stem cell therapy to address pain and restore mobility and functionality for these following:
Sprained Ankle
A common sports injury sustained in many sports, but tennis seems to be the one where it’s become the most prevalent for young and old alike. A sprain occurs when you make sudden unexpected movements of the ankle and stem cells can be an effective treatment option for reducing pain and swelling and speeding up recovery time until the ankle is fully functional.
Tennis Elbow
Another common injury sustained from playing this sport, tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is caused from excessive wear and tear and repetitive movement, resulting in pain along the forearm and radiating through the elbow.
Rotator Cuff Injury
Whether the result of a gradual deterioration of the muscles and tendons that comprise the rotator cuff or the area has sustained an acute injury, rotator cuff injuries come with painful symptoms throughout the shoulder and can limit functionality of the arm and shoulder.
ACL/MCL/PCL Tear
These ligaments located in the knee can become torn and the result can be a significant amount of pain and downtime to support healing.
Patellar Tendonitis
Commonly referred to as Jumper’s Knee, patellar tendonitis can occur due to repetitive overuse of the patellar tendon which is the tissue that connects your kneecap to your shinbone.
Pickleball Injuries
The growing popularity of this sport has also resulted in a growing range of injuries sustained by those who have been playing it both casually and professionally. Stem cell therapy can target the cause and symptoms of the injury to repair the damage.
Pickleball Elbow
Extremely painful and one of the most common injuries that clients have sought treatment for using stem cell therapy. Repetitive movements can lead to painful inflammation of the tendons that connect muscle and bone
Sprained Ankle
The movements you make in pickleball can have you twisting, hopping, and turning as you play, but when you take an awkward step or plant the foot wrong, that can result in a sprain.
Achilles tendinitis
An injury that is often suffered by new and first time pickleball players, the achilles tendon which attaches the heel bone to the calf muscle can become very painful due to inflammation.
Wrist Dysfunction
The wrist can present signs of discomfort and pain, stiffness, inflammation, and a reduction in flexibility and range of motion due to repetitive movements when playing pickleball.
