Stem cell treatment procedure is practically painless and well-tolerated by patients, if necessary, performed anesthesia. Possible short-term side effects are redness at the injection site. These effects usually subside in 1 to 2 hours. The method of administration of cellular material is chosen by the doctor individually for each case.

Schedule:

Day 1 – arrival to the clinic and passing medical tests (in case the arrival is too late for it, tests will be made during the day2);

Day 2 – consultation with a specialized doctor, analysis of test results & stem cells injections;

Day 3 – free day departure.

When will I see the results?

Patient response to treatment is dependent on a large variety of biological factors, however is also subject to the behavior and lifestyle of the patient. We advise patients that stem cell therapy normally produces measurable results within 3-6-9 months following treatment. However, we have had many patients record improvements to their quality of life and a lessening of their symptoms within the first few weeks following treatment. Every patient is unique and will respond to treatment differently so it is impossible to guarantee any specific result for an individual, as every person’s body is different and will respond in different ways.

Movement with no limits – orthopedic diseases and disorders

Freedom of movement and activities is one of the main abilities for a happy life. Different injuries, sprains or contusions can cause serious damage and affect our opportunity to move.

Novelty of the Stem cell treatment

Vitality in cooperation with ADONIS Medical Group of Companies always work to introduce the latest medical technologies for the patients from the whole world. The Stem cell treatment in Ukraine is represented by Vitality M&R Center high standards and quality service.

Stem cells have a unique ability for regeneration and the whole organism sells renewal. Their main valuable features are:

potentially unlimited division rate (so-called reproduction, subsequent cells’ creation)
differentiation towards other cells

During the aging processes or as the result of different factors (injuries, infections, inflammations) cells of the human body die. It is the right moment for the Stem cells to start their activation and to repair the damaged cells, but with the age or tissue aging processes human Stem cells lose the ability to regenerate intensively.

Therefore, Vitality Stem cells concentration with direct input will help to overcome different problems and help organisms to produce new cells and regenerate. It is especially useful for Orthopedic diseases treatment.

Stem cells treatment and Orthopedic related diseases

Nowadays the Vitality Stem cells treatment is a great opportunity for our client to restore cartilage defects, joint pain or bone remodeling disorders.

The approved combination of surgical therapy (in most cases arthroscopy) and Stem cells treatment is increasingly becoming the best alternative to the alloplasty (arthroplasty) of the joints.

We in Vitality put a great emphasis on the rehabilitation stage, because the correct combination of Stem cells therapy and rehabilitation measures can restore patients and provide their effective performance of daily activities or the highest form of professional athletes.

The usage of patient’s own cells for the Orthopedic diseases treatment under the control of Vitality skilled specialists is one of the most innovative therapeutic methods in Orthopedic. This sphere is very promising for people and their new possibilities in medicine.
