Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

Stem cells offer regenerative capabilities for the body. They modulate the immune system which decreases inflammation and promotes healing. In the case of MS which is an autoimmune condition, this can significantly alter the progression of the disease.

Symptoms of MS

As with any autoimmune condition, chronic inflammation is the staple which causes the widespread symptoms. As antibodies attack and damage the protective myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers, symptoms of pain, numbness and muscle weakness begin to appear. The symptoms start as intermittant and progress to chronic. Brain fog and severe fatigue are also common. The muscle weakness and numbness cause balance problems, and falling not only affects quality of life, but also contributes to injuries. 

Treatments for MS

The key to regaining and keeping a good quality of life is to treat early. Unfortunately, conventional treatments covered by your insurance can only manage the symptoms of pain and inflammation. These classes of medications suppress the immune system which puts you at risk for infectious illness and cancer. The cause is not treated, so the condition will continue to advance.

How do Stem Cells Affect MS?

Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSC’s) are well researched to modulate the immune system, thereby decreasing inflammation. MSC’s have the ability facilitate healing and repair of the myelin sheath in the presence of low inflammation. Patients may experience less pain and better cognition in just a few months, maybe earlier. Strength and stamina return as the muscles get stronger. Depending on how advanced your condition is, you may need up to three treatments to get the full benefit of stem cell therapy.
