Stem Health Plus blogs. For more than a century, medicine has largely been focused on managing symptoms or repairing what’s broken. The promise of stem cell research is different: it aims to rebuild. By directing primitive cells to become mature tissues—or by using their signals to nudge the body to repair itself—care shifts from damage […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. Knowing the stages is more than a chart exercise—it’s how clinicians decide whether a reddened heel needs offloading and moisture care or whether a deep sacral wound requires debridement and infection control. The staging of pressure ulcers provides a shared language that guides priorities, communicates risk across disciplines, and sets realistic […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. When an incision or injury begins to separate after it has been closed, that’s wound dehiscence. It lengthens recovery, raises infection risk, and can lead to hernias or, in severe cases, exposed tissue that requires urgent intervention. Understanding why wound dehiscence happens is the first step to preventing it. Most cases […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. When skin breaks, your body launches a sophisticated, staged response to restore a protective barrier. Inflammation clears debris and bacteria, proliferation knits tissue together, and remodeling strengthens the new skin over weeks to months. Proper wound care gives each stage what it needs—cleanliness, moisture balance, protection, and time—so healing progresses instead […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. Chronic conditions disrupt more than daily routines, reducing energy, mobility, and hope. Many patients feel trapped in an endless loop of medications, symptoms, and side effects. Traditional treatments often delay decline rather than promote recovery. Regenerative medicine offers a more direct path forward by aiming to restore what has been lost, […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. Surgery marks the start of the healing process, but it doesn’t guarantee a successful outcome. The days and weeks following an operation are just as crucial as the procedure itself. That’s when your body works hardest to rebuild and repair, making the wound site especially vulnerable to infection. Recognizing infection signs […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. A healing wound should close securely, but sometimes it opens up instead. This condition, known as wound dehiscence, can cause setbacks in recovery and increase health risks. It often catches patients off guard, especially during the early stages of healing. Knowing why it happens and how to respond can make a […]
Stem Health Plus blogs. Chronic wounds don’t heal the same way minor cuts do. They linger for weeks or months, causing pain, infection, and frustration. These wounds often come from underlying health problems like diabetes, vascular disease, or immobility. A wound care specialist treats these complex wounds using proven methods tailored to each patient. What […]
The connection between circulation and healing wounds lies at the heart of the body’s natural repair process. At the same time, it’s easy to focus on the visible characteristics of a wound—such as size, depth, or location—the fundamental determinant of healing often occurs beneath the surface, within the vascular system. Blood circulation is crucial for […]
Some treatments sound too promising to ignore. Regenerative medicine often appears that way to people dealing with chronic pain, injuries, or degenerative conditions. Healing from within, without surgery, pulls in hope like a magnet. But with that hope comes a flood of confusing claims, overpromising clinics, and science that’s still catching up. Patients need clarity […]
