Athletes routinely experience a high level of physical strain during training, competition, and repetition. This may result in injuries to the muscle, tendon, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and other tissues. The handling of physical therapy, rest and rehabilitation is still of paramount importance, however, in certain sports-related conditions, regenerative medicine is also being investigated.

 

Research on Stem cells for athletes is underway as a possible method of assisting the body’s own healing processes after some injuries. Cell-based therapies have been studied for orthopedic diseases related to the tendon, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and joints. But, the treatment and prognosis may differ depending on the nature and degree of an injury.

 

Any athlete interested in any regenerative treatments should undergo a complete medical evaluation prior to undergoing any procedure. A medical professional experienced in sports injuries can evaluate the injury and help you understand the benefits, limitations, risks and other alternatives for treatment.
