Knowing about cervical disc (symptoms and causes)

Cervical disc, this uninvited guest of the spine, occurs when the intervertebral discs of the neck are out of their normal state and the nerves are pressing around. Imagine that the soft cushions between the cervical vertebrae, which are responsible for absorbing shock and providing flexibility, wear out or protrude. Warning signs usually start with neck pain and can manifest as tingling and numbness in the hands, muscle weakness, and even chronic headaches. Several factors such as long-term sitting behind the computer, improper head and neck position when using a mobile phone (texting neck), sports injuries and even stress can be effective in the occurrence of this condition. Doctors usually diagnose the severity and exact location of the problem by performing a physical examination, MRI, and radiography. Traditional treatments include physical therapy, corrective exercises, anti-inflammatory drugs, and in severe cases, surgery. But today, new methods such as cell therapy have opened new horizons for patients. https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/stem-cell-neck-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/stem-cell-neck-350x350.jpg.webp 350w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/Selul-Fonani-Gorden-768x768.jpg.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" type="image/webp">

Types of shoulder injuries (causes, diagnosis and treatment)

Shoulder, this complex and amazing joint of the body, with 360-degree movement capability, is one of our most productive joints, which sometimes suffers from various injuries. From rotator cuff tears to tendonitis, osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder, they can all affect everyday life. Imagine not being able to comb your hair or wear clothes! The causes of these problems are very diverse: from repetitive movements in sports and work to direct blows, aging and even underlying diseases such as diabetes. Specialist doctors accurately identify the problem with a careful examination, advanced imaging such as MRI and ultrasound, and sometimes diagnostic arthroscopy. Common treatments include physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, plasma therapy (PRP) and, in severe cases, surgery. But today, cell therapy as a promising and minimally invasive option has attracted the attention of specialists and patients, because it can help to regenerate damaged tissues by using the regenerative power of the body's own cells.

What is cell therapy neck?

Cell therapy, this amazing innovation in medicine, acts like an intelligent architect in the body and enhances the body's natural repair ability by using stem cells. These magical cells that exist in bone marrow, fat tissue and even the umbilical cord have the amazing ability to transform into a variety of specialized cells such as cartilage, bone and muscle. Unlike traditional treatments that only relieve symptoms, cell therapy addresses the root of the problem and provides a more sustainable treatment by stimulating the regeneration of damaged tissues. Researches show that this method has had significant success in treating joint, tendon and muscle injuries and can even prevent costly and risky surgeries. The effectiveness of this method depends on various factors such as the age of the patient, the severity of the injury and the type of cells used, but statistics show that in 70-80% of cases, a significant improvement is achieved.

Stages of cervical disc treatment with stem cells

Process Cell Therapy, this amazing healing journey begins with a careful medical consultation. At this stage, the specialist examines the patient's condition and chooses the best treatment method. Before starting the treatment, necessary blood tests and imaging are performed, and the patient must stop certain medications, such as blood thinners, according to the doctor's opinion. On the day of treatment, stem cells are usually harvested from the patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue, and after being processed in a laboratory, they are carefully injected into the affected area. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia in less than two hours. After the treatment, the patient must follow special care protocols that include relative rest, avoiding heavy activities in the first weeks, taking appropriate nutritional supplements and doing physical therapy exercises under the supervision of a specialist. The healing process usually starts from the second week and lasts up to six months. https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/basic-cell-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/cell-basic-350x350.jpg.webp 350w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/سلول-فونای-768x768.jpg.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" type="image/webp">

results and expectations of shoulder and neck stem cells

Cell therapy is a gradual and effective path to recovery that requires patience and regular follow-up. Usually, the first signs of improvement, such as reduced pain and inflammation, begin in the second to fourth week after the injection, but the full process of tissue repair and restoration of function may take up to 6 months. The rate of improvement varies from person to person, but research shows that about 75 percent of patients experience significant improvement, which can include a 60 to 80 percent reduction in pain and a significant increase in range of motion. The effectiveness of this treatment can last for several years, especially if it is combined with lifestyle changes and proper exercise. Follow-up visits at 2, 6, 12 weeks and 3 and 6 months after treatment are necessary to evaluate the recovery process and adjust rehabilitation programs. 800w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/cell-therapy-neck-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/cell-therapy-neck-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https://dr-kamrani.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2024/12/cell-therapy-neck-768x432.jpg.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" type="image/webp">

How much does the stem cell of the neck and shoulder disc cost? ?

The cost of cell therapy, as an advanced and specialized method, varies depending on factors such as the type of injury, the number of necessary sessions and the method of extracting stem cells. In Iran, the cost of a complete course of cell therapy usually varies between 9000,000 and 14,000,000 tomans, which includes initial consultation, diagnostic tests, the process of extracting and culturing cells, and follow-ups after treatment. Currently, basic insurances do not cover this treatment, but some supplementary insurances pay part of the costs in the form of special plans. Compared to traditional surgeries that may cost the same or more, cell therapy has significant advantages such as being less invasive, shorter recovery time, and reducing the need for long-term medication. have reported significant improvement. For example, Ms. Mohammadi, 52 years old, was able to return to her daily activities and even resume long walks after years of limited mobility after knee cell therapy. Mr. Rezaei, a 45-year-old athlete, returned to his previous level of sports performance within 6 months by treating Achilles tendon damage with the help of stem cells. Most patients emphasize that patience and following the doctor's instructions are the keys to success in this treatment, and they emphasize that having realistic expectations and regular follow-up of physical therapy sessions play an important role in achieving desired results. class="rank-math-list ">
