Stem Cells Can Reverse Disease and Keep you Healthy

Stem Cells Can Reverse Disease  and Keep you HealthyAs we age, we are often confronted with a body that doesn’t function the way it used to, and we feel discomfort, pain, and experience illness and disease more rapidly than when we were young. Stem cells are the wave of the future with proven outcomes and results. Many individuals that suffer from the throbbing, achy joints associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia or the feelings of fatigue due to COPD or cancer-related side effects can benefit from the simple process of getting stem cell therapy. It’s not science fiction or a far-fetched alternative medicine; it is in fact, one of the most heavily relied upon growing treatment options for countless individuals that have experienced traditional procedures and medication failures.

Another term for stem cell therapy is regenerative medicine. How does it work? In short, the stem cells repair diseased or damaged tissue naturally through our own body’s ability to create cell renewal and regeneration.

Dr. Leon Mead’s Stem Cell Research:
If you are troubled with painful shoulders knees or hips biological treatment options may be a solution to your problems. There is a growing body of evidence that harvesting and concentrating our bodies own natural stem cells can slow halt, or even in some instances reverse degenerative changes. Traditional forms of treatment can only suppress symptoms, and ongoing degeneration is expected. For the first time ever and there are treatment options that can actually improve healing and potentially delay or eliminate the need for replacement surgeries. These same treatment options can also markedly reduce pain and accelerate healing should surgery be necessary.

Leon Mead M.D. has been serving the orthopedic needs of Southwest Florida for nearly 30 years. He is fellowship trained in joint replacement and sports medicine and is board certified by the American Board of orthopedic surgeons, and holds a certificate of additional qualification in sports medicine he is a member of the Arthroscopy Association of North America as well as the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. He is president-elect of the Society for arthritic joint surgery. Last October he presented his data at the society’s annual meeting where he reported a 98.7% patient satisfaction level using stem cells to improve outcomes with total joint arthroplasty. He has pioneered the use of stem cell technology in South Florida for the last three years and has performed over 800 bone marrow based stem cell procedures for a variety of orthopedic conditions. His stem cell database is currently one of the largest in the nation. By constantly evaluating outcomes he truly knows what does and doesn’t work.
