Regenerative Medicine with Avid Sports Medicine

At Avid Sports Medicine in San Francisco, we excel in providing personalized stem cell therapy solutions, utilizing the potent regenerative properties of Wharton’s jelly (umbilical cord). Our experienced team understands the importance of tailoring treatments to your specific needs. We prioritize patient education, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health.

Key Properties of Wharton's Jelly

  • High concentration of MSCs: Wharton’s jelly boasts one of the highest concentrations of MSCs found in the human body. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the primary drivers of healing and regeneration in stem cell therapy. They can differentiate into various cell types and release growth factors, making them essential for tissue repair. The more MSCs present, the greater the potential therapeutic effect.
  • Immune-privileged: The MSCs in Wharton’s jelly have low immunogenicity, meaning they’re less likely to trigger an immune response, reducing the risk of rejection.
  • Rich in growth factors: Wharton’s jelly contains growth factors that promote cell growth and support the healing process.

Wharton’s Jelly: A Powerful Source for Stem Cell Therapy

Wharton’s jelly is a remarkable substance found within the umbilical cord, serving as a protective cushion for the vital blood vessels that connect a developing baby to the placenta. More than just a structural component, Wharton’s jelly is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These special cells have the unique potential to differentiate into various cell types, playing a crucial role in tissue regeneration and repair.

Why Wharton's Jelly for Stem Cell Therapy?

  • Potent regenerative potential

The combination of MSCs and growth factors offers natural regenerative support for damaged tissues.

  • Minimally invasive source

Wharton’s jelly stem cells can be ethically obtained without the need for invasive procedures.

  • Safety profile

Studies demonstrate the safety and potential efficacy of Wharton’s jelly-derived stem cell therapies.

Benefits of Wharton’s Jelly in Stem Cell Therapy

Wharton’s jelly-derived stem cell therapies hold immense promise for a variety of conditions. Here are some of the key potential benefits:

  • Enhanced Healing and Regeneration

MSCs from Wharton’s jelly jumpstart the body’s repair mechanisms, accelerating healing and potentially reducing recovery time for injuries and chronic conditions.

  • Reduced Inflammation

These stem cells possess anti-inflammatory properties, helping to manage pain and swelling associated with tissue damage.

  • Minimal Rejection Risk

The immune-privileged nature of Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs lowers the likelihood of the body rejecting the treatment, opening up stem cell therapy to a wider range of patients.

Applications of Wharton's Jelly Stem Cell Therapy
