What are stem cells?
Stem cells are like the “blank slates” of the cell world. Unlike other cells that are specialized (for instance, skin cells or muscle cells), stem cells have the ability to become many other types of cells, which makes them indispensable in treating many chronic medical conditions.
Once in your bloodstream, the cells are attracted to damaged areas, traveling to those sites and creating new tissue. Allowing the body to naturally heal and repair itself. During stem cell therapy at Springs Rejuvenation, Dr. Pereyra extracts stem cells from your fat, bone marrow or a donated umbilical chord. Injecting them either intravenously or into the injured joint. The procedure takes under an hour to complete. With the most pronounced results being seen in two weeks, and peeking at 6 months.
Joint and Bone Health
Acute joint injuries and pain significantly impact the health of people across the globe. We currently use a variety of treatments to help alleviate the root cause of pain, helping injuries to heal without the need for surgery
Our custom treatment protocols for acute and chronic joint and back pain by combine stem cell therapy with the latest techniques in pain management and nutrition including: Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate; Dry Needling; and Facet Joint, Epidural, and Intradiscal Injections

Auto Immune and Inflammatory Conditions
Currently, autoimmune conditions are treated with immune suppressive agents such as steroids, methothrexate, cyclosporine, gold, and more recently infliximab (Remicade). Despite inducing temporary improvement, these approaches possess the possibility of long-term adverse effects, as well as need for life-long treatment.
Stem cell therapy has been demonstrated to induce profound healing activity in animals with various forms of autoimmune disorders. Besides healing damaged tissues, stem cells have the unique ability to modulate the immune system so as to shut off pathological responses while preserving its ability to fight off disease. Stem cells and specifically, mesenchymal stem cells home to inflamed tissue and start producing anti-inflammatory agents. These mediators act locally and do not suppress the immune response of the patient's whole body. Additionally, mesenchymal stem cells induce the production of T regulatory cells, a type of immune cell whose function is to protect the body against immunological self-attack.

Stem cells may help replace missing or damaged beta cells, special cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes involve problems with beta cells (either there are not enough — or any — beta cells or the cells don't function properly). Stem cell therapy might be helpful in patients with either type.

Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects our joints. Stem cell therapy can help by repairing damaged joint cartilage and by reducing inflammation that occurs in and around the joint.

Fibromyalgia
Stem cells can be very helpful in modulating inflammatory responses, including inflammation thought to be associated with fibromyalgia. They can also help repair and regenerate damaged nerve cells that can "misfire," sending pain signals when there is no painful stimulus
Stem cells are being used to help repair neurological damage that occurs in MS, and studies show they're also able to travel directly to brain lesions and improve brain cell health. Stem cells also help control unusual immune system activity, which plays a significant role in MS.

Because stem cells have the ability to transform into many other types of cells, including kidney tissue, they’re being used to treat both acute and chronic kidney injury and kidney disease. The goal is to replace damaged cells and cells that have already been lost due to tissue damage.
