Stem cell therapy for Nerve Damage

Stem cells are renowned for harnessing the body’s natural healing properties. They can help treat various conditions by repairing damaged tissue. Doctors utilize adult mesenchymal and pluripotent stem cells from donated blastocysts to tailor treatments to the patient’s DNA, maximizing the potential benefits.

Unlike surgery and medications used for nerve damage, stem cell treatment is minimally invasive and has no known side effects. Pluripotent stem cells are programmed for your DNA using a simple skin biopsy. They are then injected into the bloodstream before being naturally removed from the body.

Nerve damage occurs when the nerve signals are disrupted due to damage or injury (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2024). The condition generally worsens over time as the nerve fibers continue to deteriorate. You may experience tingling, sharp aches, weakness in the arms or legs, extreme sensitivity to touch, light, and temperature changes. Symptoms typically start mild before gradually increasing over weeks, months, and years. They usually first appear in the areas furthest from the brain (i.e., the hands and feet) before moving inward.

There are two main types of nerve damage: peripheral, which affects the extremities, and central, which affects the spine or brain. The areas impacted vary based on which nerves are damaged. Neuropathy can spread to other body areas if left untreated, as more nerve fibers are affected.

Causes of neuropathy include:

• Injury: A sudden blow, fall, or collision, such as a car accident, can cause severe nerve damage. Broken bones and slipped vertebral disks press on the nerves that transmit signals to the brain, disrupting the connection. Repetitive movements that press on nerve fibers can also cause slow damage to the area over time.
• Diabetes: High blood sugar can damage the blood vessels that support healthy nerve function, leading to peripheral and central neuropathy that can affect major organs.
• Exposure to Toxins: Lifestyle factors such as smoking and poor diet, prolonged vitamin deficiencies, immune deficiencies, and certain medications used to treat various diseases can also damage nerve fibers as a side effect.
• Autoimmune Diseases: A condition that causes the immune system to attack itself can lead to the accumulation of heavy metals in the body, eventually damaging nerve endings as the body struggles to eliminate these toxins naturally.

These conditions can impact your ability to lead a fulfilling and active lifestyle. Persistent pain and discomfort may limit your enjoyment of activities you once loved, including walking, hiking, bicycling, writing, and working with your hands. They can also prevent you from exercising, which can make neuropathy worse due to a lack of activity.

Adult mesenchymal stem cells and pluripotent stem cells from blastocysts are used to treat nerve damage. Stemaid Institute exclusively utilizes pluripotent stem cells, the youngest and most versatile type of stem cells, to support tissue regeneration and revitalization. 

The cost of stem cell injections for neuropathy varies widely, but they are generally less expensive in Mexico than in the United States. Stemaid Institute stem cell treatment costs between $1,000 and $1,500 per injection. 

Yes, stem cell therapy has been used to relieve the symptoms of diabetes, which can cause nerve damage. It has proven to be safe and effective for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 

Yes, stem cell therapy can help reverse the effects of nerve damage by regenerating damaged muscle and nervous tissue. Patients can build muscle, improve coordination, and regain their mobility.
