Regenerating Your Health

Stem cell therapy can relieve chronic pain.

S

tem cells are the body’s “master”
cells. They can transform into other
cell types such as bone, cartilage
and muscle that can be used to replace
damaged tissues in the body. Doctors
and researchers see promise in curing
cancer, heart disease, immune disorders,
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases,
autism, blindness and diabetes — just to
name a few.
While here in America stem cell therapy
may seem new and progressive, it has
been used for many years in Europe and
Asia, according to Dr. Andrey Lutskovsky,
one of few doctors in Michigan trained
and certified in the therapy. He runs the
American Regenerative Clinic in Bingham
Farms.
Dr. Lutskovsky immigrated to the
U.S. from Ukraine 20 years ago. “In the
Ukraine, doctors and patients were much
more open to alternative medicine; and
I brought those therapies with me to the
U.S. to help my patients,” he says.
He received his medical degree from
Kharkov Medical University in the Ukraine
in 1987. He then worked for six years as a
general and trauma surgeon. In 2004, he
earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
(DO) degree from the New York College

Dr. Lutskovsky also offers Platelet-Rich
Plasma (PRP), a safe and effective method
used to heal damaged bone and soft
tissue. PRP involves taking a small sample
of blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to
concentrate and separate out the platelets
and plasma. This concentrated sample is
then injected into the painful area, where
it repairs damage by rebuilding the tissue,
leading to improved joint and muscle
functions with significantly less pain. One
to four sessions may be needed for full
benefits.
American Regenerative Clinic treats
many ailments through the use of PRP,
including tendinitis, arthritis, torn muscles
and ligaments. Dr. Lutskovsky will help you
decide which therapy is right for you.
