NSI Stem Cell Centers have years of experience in regenerative medicine. All therapies are FDA guidelines-compliant, and include the treatment of several neurological conditions that include multiple sclerosis and Parkinsons Disease. So how does stem cell therapy as an MS treatment work? Lets take a closer look: The core reason behind the symptoms and suffering of multiple sclerosis has to do with erosion and damage to the myelin sheath. The myelin sheaths line the part of the nerve cell called the axon. Axons are the nerve fibers that transmit information to different neurons, muscles and glands. The myelin sheaths primary function is to increase the speed of the impulses that travel along the axons. The main ways that the MSCs used in stem cell MS treatment work are by triggering re-growth of the myelin sheaths and improving the health of existing nerve cells. But MSCs also stimulate the re-grow of entirely new healthy nerve cells to replace damaged ones. NSI Stem Cell Centers MS treatment is FDA guidelines-compliant. By harvesting a small sample of fat from the patients thigh, abdomen or buttock, an abundant source of MSCs is acquired. A local anesthetic at the point of harvest is the only … Continue reading →

The majority of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis have a relapsing form of the disease, characterized by unpredictable episodes (called relapses or exacerbations) of acute worsening of neurologic function. During a relapse, you might experience new symptoms and/or a worsening of previous or existing symptoms. What causes a relapse? Relapses are caused by acute inflammation in the central nervous system which can cause a variety of symptoms. Sometimes relapses are marked by new lesions in the white matter of the brain or spinal cord which can be seen on MRI scans. Neurologists will often prescribe a 3- or 5-day course of high-dose intravenous steroids to reduce inflammation and speed resolution of a relapse. Symptoms With the onset of a relapse, you may experience a dramatic change in symptoms, such as muscle weakness which makes lifting your arm difficult or a case of optic neuritis resulting in temporary blindness or altered color vision in one eye. Or perhaps you suddenly have trouble with slurred speech or bladder control. A relapse is defined by new or worsening symptoms which last for more than 24 hours and are separated by more than 30 days from a previous relapse. While symptoms of a relapse … Continue reading →
