Betty is an exceptional physical therapist who takes care of orthopedic patients. She has knee osteoarthritis and trusted the care of Dr. Ambach and her team to treat her knees. She had an excellent response to platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment in keeping her knees healthy, managing her pain and supporting her highly active lifestyle.”
I can not say enough about how excellent the care is at SanDiego Orthobiologics. I am a PT and often refer patients here with the utmost confidence for consultations and injections. I have personally undergone PRP injections for my knees with Dr Ambach. She is extremely knowledgable, caring and professional. I have had good results treating mild to moderate arthritis and highly recommend to anyone experiencing orthopedic problems that limit their daily life.

Cellular therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking medical treatment, revolutionizing the field of healthcare. By utilizing the body’s own cells, this innovative approach seeks to restore health and promote healing in a way that traditional medicine cannot always achieve. In this article, we will delve into the world of cellular therapy, exploring its definition, history, mechanism of action, benefits, and more.
What is Cellular Therapy?
Cellular therapy, also known as cell therapy or cytotherapy, involves transplanting living cells into a patient’s body to replace or repair damaged cells or tissues. These cells can be derived from the patient’s own body. In most circumstances, platelets or mesenchymal cells are used for this type of therapy. Platelets are the tiny cells in a patient’s blood that secrete numerous growth factors which are critical in healing. Mesenchymal cells are multipotent cells found in fat or bone marrow and have the ability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, tendon/ligament, and muscle. Cellular therapy aims to enhance the body’s natural healing processes and restore proper functioning.
History of Cellular Therapy
The history of cellular therapy can be traced back to the late 19th century when bone marrow transplantation was first attempted. This procedure involved the transfer of healthy bone marrow cells to individuals suffering from blood disorders, such as leukemia. Over the years, advancements in medical research and technology have expanded the applications of cellular therapy to various conditions, including organ transplantation, immune system disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and orthopedics.
How It Works
Cellular therapy harnesses the power of cells to promote healing and restore health. The process begins with the collection of the desired cells, which are then prepared for transplantation. These cells are carefully administered to the patient, typically through an image guided injection targeting the affected area. Once inside the body, the cells integrate themselves into the surrounding tissues and initiate the healing process. They either replace damaged cells directly or stimulate the body’s own cells to repair and help grow new tissues, leading to improved health outcomes.
Benefits of Cellular Therapy
Cellular therapy offers numerous benefits, making it a promising treatment option for a wide range of orthopedic conditions. One significant advantage is its ability to provide personalized medicine. Since cellular therapy utilizes the patient’s own cells, the risk of rejection or adverse reactions is significantly reduced. This personalized approach also allows for targeted treatment, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.
Additionally, cellular therapy can potentially address previously untreatable or difficult-to-treat conditions. By focusing on the root cause of the disease and promoting natural healing, cellular therapy offers new hope for patients who have exhausted conventional treatment options. Moreover, it can potentially reduce the need for invasive surgeries and lifelong dependency on medication, improving the overall quality of life for patients.
Conclusion
In conclusion, cellular therapy represents a remarkable advancement in medical science, offering a new frontier of treatment possibilities. By harnessing the power of cells, this innovative approach has the potential to transform the lives of countless individuals suffering from various orthopedic conditions. With ongoing research and advancements, cellular therapy holds promise for the future of healthcare, providing hope for individuals seeking more effective and personalized treatment options.
