Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed as it travels through the wrist.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway made up of bones and ligaments located at the base of the hand. When the median nerve becomes compressed in this area, it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist.
CTS is a common condition that affects people who perform repetitive motions with their hands and wrists, such as typing, sewing, or using power tools. Other risk factors for CTS include obesity, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions such as arthritis and diabetes.
Regenerative medicine can be used as an effective treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The goal of regenerative medicine is to repair or regenerate damaged tissues using the body’s own healing mechanism, often allowing the patient to avoid having to undergo an intrusive and complicated surgical procedure
Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, such as muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By harvesting these cells from the patient’s own bone marrow, they can be injected into the damaged area to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Found in early-stage embryos. Super powerful, can become any cell in the body. They are not typically used in modern clinical settings in the U.S. We don’t offer treatments using ESCs.
Found in tissues like bone marrow and fat. Their job is to maintain and repair the tissue they come from. These are what we mostly use in regenerative medicine. We do offer treatments using ASCs.
This is the type A subtype of adult stem cells found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cords. They’re amazing at reducing inflammation, modulating the immune system, and helping damaged tissue heal. We do offer treatments using MSCs.
Regular adult cells that scientists “reprogram” to act like embryonic stem cells. Big in research, not widely used yet in clinical care. We do not work with iPSCs.
Stem cells are your body’s raw materials—basically, the building blocks for all other cells. They’re special because they can:
1. Divide and make more copies of themselves (self-renew).
2. Turn into specialized cells like muscle, bone, nerve, skin, or blood cells (differentiate).
Think of them like the body’s repair system. If you get injured or sick, stem cells can go to the area and help regenerate damaged tissue.
Exosomes are microscopic particles (about 1/1000th the size of a cell) naturally released by cells—especially stem cells. They’re loaded with growth factors, proteins, RNA, and other signaling molecules that tell other cells what to do.
Exosomes aren’t stem cells themselves. They’re what stem cells use to communicate and activate healing in your body. You could say they’re the “brains” behind the operation, coordinating the regenerative process.
We use Umbilical Cord-Derived MSC Exosomes derived from Wharton’s Jelly in donated umbilical cords. These are the most clinically used exosomes today due to their potency, safety, and ethical sourcing. They’re young, non-immunogenic, and highly active. They are excellent for orthopedic, autoimmune, and anti-aging protocols
Regenerative treatments like MSCs, Exosomes, and PRP use the body’s natural healing to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve function, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery. These therapies can enhance quality of life and delay the need for more invasive procedures.
What They Are: MSCs are adult stem cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly in umbilical cords. They are immune-privileged and have powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties.
