WHY Cellpia

Neck disc, hand numbness! Stem cell musculoskeletal pain treatment

Regenerative medicine using the self-replication and multi-differentiation ability of stem cells is a definite icon representing the future of medicine. Cellpia Clinic treats stem cells with a non-surgical procedure that does not burden the body to improve the root cause of the disease. Stem cell treatment strengthens the muscle ligaments and nerves surrounding the lesion, and thereby, helps relieve pain. It not only improves joint movement but also preserves joint function, and as a result, has an excellent effect of preventing and improving disease prevention and progression. Cellpia Clinic performs the treatment with stem cells, SDF-1α, white blood cells, platelets, and many growth factors in combination, making the whole organization healthy and energized, and applies a biomechanical concept to the musculoskeletal pain to get better results.

What is a cervical disc?

Neck disc a typical disease caused by bad posture and habits such as looking at a smartphone or reading a book while keeping your head down for long periods of time, can be an example for straight neck and a turtle neck issues. The exact name of the disease, 'cervical herniated disc,' is caused by compression that have been acting on the surrounding nerve roots as the intervertebral discs lose moisture due to heavy loads and degenerative changes. As a result, losing elasticity, the annulus fibrosus is torn, and the nucleus pulposus comes out. A disc protrudes and presses on a nerve and severe pain or neurological symptoms may appear when stenosis is accompanied by degenerative changes in bone growth. It develops often in middle-aged people, but it is now appearing even in the young 2030 generation with the characteristics that the presentations are more prevalent in certain occupational groups.

Hand numbness is a disease that cannot be ignored!

Hands are small parts of the body, but is in a complex entanglement of 27 bones, ligaments, nerves, tendons, and muscles. Although the cause of hand numbness is not clearly identified, it is affected by a direct impact to the hand or accumulated fatigue and neck discs due to overuse. If your hand feels like electricity or has sensory disturbances, it is associated with neurological disorders. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a disease that causes pain, numbness, and loss of sensation as the carpal tunnel in the wrist narrows, the median nerve that passes between them is compressed. 'Gayon tube syndrome', numbness of the ring and pinky fingers. In this disease, also called “ulnar tube syndrome”, the symptom appears when the ulnar nerve that extends into the hand is compressed while passing through the Guyon tube located next to the carpal tunnel.

Various causes of numbness in the hands

  • First cause

    Chronic complications of diabetes or abnormal thyroid function

  • Second cause

    Stroke can sometimes cause numbness in the hands.

  • Third cause

    Rarely, in case of an autoimmune disease in which the peripheral nerve itself is damaged or a vitamin B12 deficiency

  • Fourth cause

    In case of a disease in which small blood vessels in your hands and feet contract easily or If blood circulation is disrupted in the presence of peripheral arteriosclerosis, hands and feet cold may appear.
