Stem Cells act as repairmen within the body. They live inside all of us in various tissues, poised to leap into action to repair damage as it occurs. But as we age or get big injuries, we often can’t recruit enough of these important cells to fully repair the damaged area. Regenexx Procedures help solve this problem by tapping into an area of high stem cell concentration and precisely reinjecting them into the area of need.
