Dr. Gary Kaplan on advances in Stem Cell Therapy and being a patient Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine 2023-12-07 | kaplanclinic.com/dr-gary-kaplan-on-advances-in-stem-cell-therapy-and-being-a-patientMajor advancements in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies have revolutionized the way orthopedic injuries, spinal disks, nerves, and joints are treated. They are also starting to revolutionize the treatment of autoimmune disease, heart and brain disorders including nerve damage and spinal cord injuries. Dr. Gary Kaplan (kaplanclinic.com/provider/gary-kaplan-d-o) recently traveled to Argentina to visit Dr. Gustavo Moviglia, Associate Professor, Wake Forest School of Medicine, and his daughter, Dr. María Teresita Moviglia Brandolino, of ACIDTA, Buenos Aires, to learn more about these advances... he was also a patient. Why Stem Cell Therapy?Stem cells are essentially "immature" cells that become different types of mature cells. As infants, we have stem cells present in very large numbers. However, as we age the number of stem cells decline, which in turn limits our regenerative capabilities. Stem cells have the remarkable ability to communicate, coordinate and replicate. When an injury occurs, stem cells localize to the site, initiate the healing response, and regenerate healthy tissue. The goal of stem cell therapy is to enhance the body's innate repair system by calling even more stem cells to an injured area. Dr. Moviglia and Dr. Teresita's work in this field has shown promising results, and in a number of different areas: regenerating discs, remodeling bone, healing damaged nerves, and spinal cord repair. As a patient, Dr. Kaplan will be receiving treatments for osteoarthritis. Currently there is no effective treatment for the progression of osteoarthritis and patients are most often focused on pain management. Stem cell therapy has shown it can improve both pain and mobility of the affected area. Dr. Gary will be chronicling his experience and we wish him the best outcome!About the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine:kaplanclinic.com/about/why-kaplan-centerResolving chronic conditions requires a multidimensional approach. By incorporating the best elements of both conventional and alternative medicine, our goal is always to address not only a patient’s physical symptoms but also to treat the root causes of an individual’s pain and illness, including problems of the mind and spirit that may be contributing to the disease process.Our Services:kaplanclinic.com/all-services/treatmentsAt the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine we offer patients a unique diagnostic protocol — taking the time to talk with patients to understand their symptoms, their medical history, which treatments have and haven’t worked in the past, and reviewing patients’ musculoskeletal, physiological and even emotional systems.Visit our blog:kaplanclinic.com/resources/blog
Yoga for Bone Health - Part 2 Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine 2023-09-18 | Dr. Lisa Lilienfield explains how yoga is one of the best ways to counteract age-related bone loss. The key to its benefits is that it uses both tensile (stretching) force and isometric, compressive (weight-bearing) force to stimulate the osteocytes (cells found in mature bone) to produce proteins and lay down new bone.Yoga is something that anyone, of any age, can do anywhere; the benefits are many and risks few when done correctly. Make sure to watch Parts 1 and 2 to learn a few simple poses you can try at home!About Dr. Lisa Lilienfield..kaplanclinic.com/provider/lisa-lilienfield"My goal is to help my patients get well by finding a balance in life — not just physically, but in mind, body and spirit. I look at each patient’s medical history, family history, medications, sleep problems, adrenal and other endocrine problems. We do a thorough workup and develop a treatment plan.
