Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Pain in Mexico
Chronic Pain is a state of constant inflammation in some part of the body. The brain receives a constant alarm from the affected site due to which it is called “chronic” pain which can last for more than 12 weeks.
Stem Cells for Chronic Pain
Stem cell therapy is being tested to treat arthritis, which is one common source of chronic pain.
Compared with transplanting hematopoietic stem cells to treat hematologic conditions, utilization of connective tissue-generating stem cells to treat arthritis and other connective tissue disorders does not, at least yet, rest on a solid foundation of clinical research. While stem cell options for these disorders are growingly popular, with clinical reports showing that such treatments are not likely to be dangerous, essentially, the jury is still out regarding whether and to what degree the therapies are helpful.

Causes for Chronic Pain
Extreme pain can result from any of the following:
- Injury
- Spinal surgery
- Diabetes
- Amputation of limbs
- Facial Nerve Problems, etc.
How Can Stem Cell Therapy Alleviate Chronic Pain?
Stem cells have the power to regenerate and adapt to the nearby cells. Therefore, when they are administered in the affected areas, they initiate the lost function of those cells, which was lost due to any of the above-listed causes.
It has been hypothesized that Stem Cell therapy can reduce conditions that cause chronic pain, but as noted above, more research is needed to determine if this is the case.

Stem Cells for Chronic Pain in Mexico can naturally enhance the working of the resident cells in contrast to other immunosuppressants available in the market. These can be administered in the following ways:
- Local Administration wherein the stem cells are infused directly into the affected tissue
- Intravenous Infusion in which the stem cells are transferred through veins
