Regenerative Medicine
1. Stem Cell Treatments
Stem cell treatment is a type of regenerative therapy that uses a special type of cell to repair injuries. Stem cell therapy is used to treat back pain and help regenerate tissues in the spinal discs. Stem cells are special cells that do not have a specific purpose in the body that can develop into a type of cell that does serve a function.
When used in regenerative medicine, stem cells are collected from the patient’s own fat, blood, or bone marrow. They are then put into a medical machine called a centrifuge so the doctor can identify and separate the cells to find the right ones to use for the regenerative therapy treatment. The cells are then injected into the part of the body that needs to be repaired. For instance, to repair spinal discs, stem cells would be injected directly into the damaged disc. The cells will then develop into healthy spinal disc cells and repair the disc.
2. Cartilage Regeneration
One type of regenerative therapy that can help people with musculoskeletal conditions is cartilage regeneration. This therapy is aimed at healing damaged cartilage. Cartilage does not heal well on its own because it does not contain blood vessels and doesn’t always have a constant blood supply. There are several techniques used for cartilage regeneration. According to research from Johns Hopkins Medicine, cartilage regeneration is ideal for active people under 55 years old.
3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is based on the hypothesis that the platelets and plasma found in the blood can heal and repair injuries. PRP treatments are usually used in sports medicine to repair tendon injuries. To make platelet-rich plasma, blood is drawn from the patient and then processed to create a concentrated solution that contains more platelets and plasma than regular blood. A centrifuge is often used to create this solution. PRP is either injected into the injured tendon or applied during surgery.
4. Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a type of regenerative therapy that treats injured joints and connective tissues. It is often used to treat arthritis, whiplash, and degenerative disc disease. It can be used on the back, neck, shoulders, hip, hands, and knees. In prolotherapy, a doctor injects a watery solution containing substances like saline and dextrose into the injured area. These injections usually contain a numbing agent like lidocaine as well.

Questions? We’re here to help.
We manufacture the cells in a controlled environment that is optimized for generating a final product with high anti-inflammatory properties. During the manufacturing process we supercharge the stem cells by training them to survive harsh environments often found in diseased or damaged tissues. CPI doesn’t use any type of stem cell; we have highly specialized stem cells that have increased therapeutic properties over other stem cells.
Using our in-house manufacturing facility, we are able to generate billions of cells that are highly therapeutic and targeted to areas suffering from an acute or chronic inflammatory condition.
Current stem cell treatments in the United States are being performed under FDA approved clinical trials, and although the data is very encouraging, final FDA approval for many of these treatments is still years away. SCRI is regulated by national regulatory agencies, COFEPRIS or the Federal Committee for Protection from Sanitary Risks (Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios) is the equivalent of the FDA in Mexico. SCRI is approved by COFEPRIS to perform cell therapy that in many regions such as the United States is years away from being a treatment option.
SCRI uses protocols published in peer-reviewed medical journals that have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of cell-based intervention. Depending on the geographical location, some of these therapies may be approved or in clinical trials. We always do our best, but nothing works for everyone.
Every patient responds to therapy differently; some have very fast therapeutic benefits, while others have a more gradual long-term improvement.
Our aftercare team will continue to monitor your healing with follow-up calls. They are also available to review any exams or MRIs post-treatment with you.
The Healthier, the better: organic, low sugars, low inflammatory, No Alcohol for as long as possible before and after treatment.
Example, a patient with a healthy medical history with multiple injuries probably will not have any contraindications to being treated.
Our stem cells are isolated from umbilical cord, which is a rich source of many different cell types, including a stem cell population that SCRI has isolated. We manufacture the cells in a controlled environment that is optimized for generating a final product with high anti-inflammatory properties. Using our in-house manufacturing facility, we are able to generate billions of cells that are highly therapeutic and targeted to areas suffering from an acute or chronic inflammatory condition.
Every patient is unique and responds differently. Some patients are quick responders and experience sustained results after a single treatment, others respond gradually over time and may require additional treatments in the future to continue improving their clinical outcome. Our doctors will work with you to develop a treatment strategy for optimal results.
To determine if you qualify for stem cell therapy, our doctors will need to review your medical. Please contact our patient care team at 1 (833) 274-4442 (toll-free in the U.S.). We are happy to answer any and all of your questions.
