Shaker Veterinary Hospital, P.C. is proud to offer your pet advanced rehabilitation treatment using Vet-Stem stem cell implantation therapy. We recommend our other rehabilitation services be used in conjunction with this therapy in order to maximize the benefit to you pet.
Stem cell implantation surgery is used to treat traumatic and degenerative diseases. Conditions that benefit from this therapy include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Cerebral and myocardial infarction
- Tendon and ligament repair
- Many more
By using stem cells derived from adipose (fat) tissue, damaged tissue can be repaired. Because stem cells can turn into many cell types as they develop - bone, cartilage, and muscle tissue, etc. - they are capable of regenerating numerous types of tissues. This therapy has so far proved very successful for both horses and companion pets. The veterinarians at Shaker Veterinary Hospital, P.C. are certified to perform Vet-Stem procedures and can discuss with you how this cutting-edge treatment will benefit your pet.
