Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about stem cell therapy at the NeuroSpinal Institute of Broward.

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a medical treatment that uses stem cells to repair damaged tissues and treat various medical conditions.

How does stem cell therapy work?

Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different cell types, which can help repair and regenerate damaged tissues.

What conditions can be treated with stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including spinal cord injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and orthopedic issues.

Is stem cell therapy safe?

Stem cell therapy is generally considered safe when performed by experienced medical professionals in a controlled environment.

How long does a stem cell therapy session take?

The duration of a stem cell therapy session can vary, but most treatments take between one to three hours.

What is the recovery time after stem cell therapy?

Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.

Bone Marrow vs. Placental/Umbilical/Fetal Stem Cells?

Be aware that representatives at certain stem cell clinics/companies will claim your stem cells are too old to provide therapeutic benefit when utilized as a treatment. This is simply not true since a vast number of clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of stem cells derived from individuals of advanced age. This therapeutic effect has been reliably repeated and well documented in medical literature.

However, many representatives will argue that placental/fetal/umbilical cord cells or cell products are a more appropriate therapy for individuals of a certain age. Unfortunately, this is a marketing ploy with the intent of selling a treatment or “add-on treatment” of little value. Placental/fetal/umbilical cell treatments utilize off-the-shelf products that lack real therapeutic benefit.  A recent study demonstrated that these products contained only dead cells or cell fragments. Further, these products contained very low levels of growth factors, levels no higher than ordinary blood. Be highly cautious of any clinic or company that claims to provide living placental/fetal cells as part of their therapy. This likely indicates the cells are from an unknown source and could be contaminated with any number of viral or bacterial pathogens.

What side effects or complications has TruStem Cell Therapy observed from these treatments?

Adult bone marrow stem cell therapy has been proven to be an extremely safe option for patients. Typically patients will experience some soreness or bruising from the harvesting area where the stem cells have been harvested by the surgeon. This can last between 1-2 weeks after the treatment. Normal out-patient, minimally invasive surgical risks do exist as it’s best to consult with your physician before undergoing stem cell therapy.

How long does it take to see results from treatment?

While some patients do see an immediate response from their stem cell treatment the vast majority of patients may see a response take up to 6 months after their treatment. Keep in mind, every patient is different and there are many factors that can determine this. Some patients may not see improvements from stem cell therapy, just like any other medical treatment as no treatment is 100% effective.

Candidacy for treatment?

The medical team takes multiple factors into account when determining a patient’s candidacy for stem cell therapy. There are multiple factors that could exclude a patient from receiving treatment. Patients must complete a medical history evaluation form to determine their candidacy before scheduling their treatment through NSIB. 

Is there financial assistance available for stem cell therapy?

NSIB offers patients the ability to finance a portion of their treatment through https://www.carecredit.com/  Please inquire with one of our Patient Advocates for more details.

What is adult bone marrow derived stem cell therapy?

Adult bone marrow stem cell therapy is an interventional technique which utilizes the patient’s own stem cells. Once the stem cells are harvested through a minimally -invasive bone marrow harvest they are minimally manipulated / processed or “activated” and finally reintroduced back into the patient’s body. The stem cells are essentially blank slates. Once they are activated they have the ability to proliferate, minimize inflammation, remodulate a patient’s immune system, increase the blood vessels/vasculature and support neurotrophic factors within a patient. This technique has been shown to be very safe and effective to help improve disease related symptoms in patients.
