What Can Be Treated?
Early stem cell research has traditionally been associated with the controversial use of embryonic stem cells. New Zealand Stem Cell Treatment Centre uses adipose derived stem cells for deployment – i.e stem cells derived from your own fat.
Your stem cells are your body’s natural healing cells. They are recruited by chemical signals emitted by damaged tissues to repair and regenerate your damaged cells. Stem cells derived from your own tissues may well be the next major advance in medicine.
NZ Stem Cell Treatment Centre (NZSCTC) has the technology to produce a solution rich with your own stem cells. Using SVF therapy protocols, these can be deployed to treat a number of degenerative conditions and diseases.
Orthopaedics
- Options for Neck Arthritis and Cervical Disk Disease
- Options for Back Arthritis and Disk Disease
- Alternative to Knee Surgery
- Alternative to Hip Surgery
- Alternative to Elbow & Hand Surgery
- Alternative to Shoulder Surgery
- Ankle problems or injury
Auto-Immune Diseases
- Lichen Sclerosis
- Cardiomyopathy
- Crohn’s Disease
- Inclusion Body Myositis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
- Sarcoidosis
- Polymyositis
- Takayasu’s Arteritis
- Temporal Arteritis
- Lichen Planus
Alopecia – stem cell treatment for hair loss or alopecia only provides temporary benefit, needs repeat treatments over time, and does not warrant the cost in our view.
Neurologic Conditions
- Parkinsons
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Stroke Recovery and Regeneration
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- “Potts Disease” Muscular Dystrophy
- Cerebral Palsy
- Early Dementia / Alzheimer’s Disease
- Takayasu’s Arteritis
- Temporal Arteritis
- Lichen Planus
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Autism and Erectile Dysfunction – stem cell therapy is not usually effective for these conditions so we do not offer to treat them.
Opthalmic Diseases
- Glaucoma
- Retinitis Pigmentosa
- Optic Neuropathy
- Chronic Retinal Detachment
Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes – may reduce insulin requirements, but not a curative procedure.
- Type 2 Diabetes – managing with appropriate diet, weight and exercise is preferable. Treatment is not usually offerred for this indication.
Some patients suffering from heart attacks have been given their own fat derived stem cells to speed up repair. These patients were shown to heal faster, compared to those not given real stem cells. Such studies have encouraged the use of stem cell deployments for ischaemic and idiopathic cardiomyopathy.
There have been many reports of improvements with MS, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson’s, ALS, and stroke.
Stem cells may be effective in the treatment of Macular Degeneration, Sjogrens syndrome, Interstitial Cystitis, Crohn’s disease, and numerous lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, and fibrosis. Stem cells can be used for some patients with severe kidney or liver failure, and in the treatment of critical limb ischemia. There are many common conditions that may benefit from stem cell therapy.
