Athletes endure a great deal of physical stress in their training, competition and even when they repeat movements repeatedly on a regular basis. This can result in injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage and other tissues. Treatment for recovery can include rest, physical therapy, rehabilitation and other medical treatment.

 

Research is ongoing to determine if stem cells can regenerate some sports injuries. Cell-based therapies have been investigated for orthopedic indications including tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and joints. But the results and suitability depend upon the type of injury and condition of the individual.

 

Anyone thinking about using regenerative medicine should undergo a comprehensive medical examination first. A medical professional can evaluate the injury and discuss the advantages, constraints, risks and other treatment possibilities.
