Stem cells are defined by two distinctive properties.

First, they can "self renew" for a period of time thus they can divide and give rise to more stem cells of the same "base" variety.

Second, and almost more potentially powerful, they can also "differentiate" or pivot by becoming specialized cells with specific functions, such as skin cells, muscle cells, or blood cells.  

Once introduced to meet their highest calling and primary need they can move beyond that task and can display migratory properties to "do their work wherever needed" to address additional anomalies or conditions.   

Almost like a beacon sounding off within the body, any remaining injured and inflamed cells emit a distress signal and the stem cells pick up the call and begin to fix the problem. 

Regenerative medicine thus has the potential to disrupt the way certain human ailments are treated and managed. 

Anyone experiencing chronic conditions such as lower back pain even after traditional therapeutic methods often look to personalized, customized and service-centric options such as stem cell therapy.  

"Regenerative medicine is the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously irreparable organs to heal themselves." 

(National Institute of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)

By providing healthy, functional tissues regenerative medicine will improve the quality of life for individuals.
