Three Commonly Used Stem Cell Types

Stem cells. There's really three most common use. We use two of them. One would be bone marrow stem cells. I've talked about that with other doctors. We don't do bone marrow stem cells in our clinics, but we do umbilical cord drive stem cells from what's called Wharton's jelly. That's the spongy layer that is in the umbilical cord. This is from donated umbilical cords and fat derived stem cells, which your fat cells are very rich in stem cells. They all have benefits and they have very limited drawbacks over doing something else, like living with it, which can increase, impair your mobility repe, which certainly work, but cause the cartilage to degrade further. And then surgery, which is, you know, that can solve the problem, but you're left with significant issues such as you can no longer be as active because the joints are not designed to go under extreme stress.
