Stem cell therapy in Los Angeles, CA is a famous medical procedure used for treating a wide range of conditions. But like other popular treatments, it is not without controversies. If you are considering this treatment for your condition, it's always prudent to research about these issues and clarify them once and for all. This way, you can make an informed choice for your health. Here are some of the most common misconceptions about stem cell therapy in Los Angeles, CA.

Myth #1: Embryos are the only source of stem cells.

It is true that embryos are good sources of stem cells BUT they are not the only part of the human body where stem cells can be harvested from. The truth is that stem cells are found in the tissues, bone marrow and organs in different areas of the body, all of which are also effective for treatments. Perhaps the reason why embryonic stem cells are more popular than others is that they can grow into different specialized cells and thus, can cure more (if not all) kinds of diseases.

Myth #2: Adult stem cells ...
... come from adults only.

No, this is not true. Infants and kids also have "adult" stem cells. The term “adult” refers to the role of the stem cells, not on the age of the person who has them. Stem cells are classified as “adults” because of their capability to repair and maintain tissues.

Myth#3: The body may reject stem cell therapy.

This misconception has been proven far from true many times by different researchers from all over the world. Provided that the stem cell therapy in Los Angeles, CA is performed correctly according to the recommended safety procedures, there is no way the body will reject the stem cells. After all, they are naturally produced and harvested from the human body.

Myth #4: Stem cell therapy is painful.

The opposite is true. The therapy is minimally invasive, making it a great alternative to surgical procedures. In fact, the entire treatment is completed in a few hours. And with this therapy, patients won't need post-operative pain medication. They can get back to work within two to three days.
