New Lumbar Puncture Procedure

Traditionally, patients with spinal cord injuries have had few treatment options to regain movement and felling. Advances in the field of regenerative medicine offer hope of improved quality of life and independence to patients with complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries. Stem cell therapy introduces new cells into the body which target specific areas and replace damaged cells.

At Cellulogix International we have set up a specialized protocol to treat patients with spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders such as ALS, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s. We offer a unique treatment combining injections through a sterile spinal catheter that implants the cells directly into the spinal column, and throughout the areas of disease and the spinal cord. Two subsequent IV stem cell treatments are repeated over a six day period, combined with light physical therapy and post treatment supplement enhancers to promote stem cell proliferation.

Our team of board certified surgeons follow a strict patient specific protocol in administration of stem cells as well as post treatment physical therapy. This new lumbar puncture procedure is currently performed by our highly skilled team at our global network of treatment centers. Post-stem cell treatment, patients are asked to submit regular examinations, MRI, PET scan and laboratory tests so we can monitor their progress.

To find out more about this new procedure of delivering stem cells in the treatment of spinal cord injuries and other neurological and neurodegenerative conditions, please contact our office at (818)597-9111 or (877)STEM-123 to book a consultation with one of our Consulting Physicians, contact our headquarters.
