Most medical treatments for health concerns center around managing your symptoms. However, stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine aimed at healing your body from within to alleviate your symptoms at the source and resolve your health condition altogether. Board-certified anesthesiologist John Dimowo, MD, at California Pain Regenerative & Wellness Physicians, specializes in the use of stem cell therapy and offers it as a treatment for many health concerns.

Stem Cell Therapy Q & A
What are stem cells?
Stem cells, which are found in your bone marrow and fat tissue, are your body’s blank cells and have the ability to transform into specialized cells to make new tissue, blood vessels, or bone.

Unfortunately, when it comes to damage or disease, your stem cells may not work as quickly or as effectively as you’d like, which is where stem cell therapy comes into play.

What is stem cell therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the healing power of stem cells to support your body’s own natural healing abilities. When injected into diseased or damaged tissue, the stem cells transform themselves into the type of cells needed to repair and heal.

Dr. Dimowo not only provides stem cell therapy to help you, but he has also used regenerative medicine himself to help resolve his chronic back pain.

For the stem cell therapy at California Pain Regenerative & Wellness Physicians, he uses placenta and umbilical cord products obtained from cesarean section births.

What health conditions can stem cell therapy help?
Dr. Dimowo offers stem cell therapy as a treatment for many common health conditions. Some of the health conditions that may benefit from regenerative therapy include:

Am I a good candidate for stem cell therapy?
Dr. Dimowo and his team at California Pain Regenerative & Wellness Physicians determine if you’re a good candidate for stem cell therapy during your consultation. Dr. Dimowo takes into consideration your primary health concerns and your overall health.

Because stem cell therapy is more invasive than other treatments, he may suggest you try conservative modalities before stem cell therapy.
