BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – In life, when most things seem too good to be true, they usually are, except for a few grand exceptions, such as regenerative medicine, which works magic on ailing bodies through the use of living cells to promote the growth of new, healthy tissue.

BioCellular Therapies, which opened this month in Melbourne, Florida brings that science to Brevard by providing cutting-edge stem cell research and treatment to help individuals stymied by orthopedic and spinal problems.

“Those who would benefit are the weekend warriors and Boomers who want options other than surgery,” said Practice Administrator Jim Eaker.

Joint and spinal pain often requires complex surgery and long rehabilitative periods, and results may be inconsistent.

LEADING THE BIOCELLULAR THERAPIES TEAM in Melbourne are Dr. Brian Dowdell, top, Practice Administrator Jim Eaker, left, and Dr. John Hermansdorfer. Drs. Dowdell and Hermansdorfer are seasoned specialists who have spent years researching optimum regenerative medicine results for their patients.

BioCellular Therapies offers a very viable alternative with no down time for patients suffering from sports injuries, osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease.

The treatment design is to reverse the disease or injury.

“These are the body’s own healing cells,” said Eaker, referring to the super cells that are the keystone of BioCellular Therapies’ treatment.

OPTIMUM HEALING CAPACITY

Millions of people each year subject themselves to painful back and joint surgery, yet there is another option, and it resides right in their very own bodies.

Regenerative cells are the healers of the body’s population of cells, for they can promote healing, repairing muscle, tendon, ligament and cartilage.

For optimum healing capacity, BioCellular Therapies uses cells from the patient’s own bone marrow and partners them with donor-generated amniotic tissue.

“These cells, are the body’s own natural healing cells,” said Eaker.

“This is a super high growth therapy that comes into contact with your own cells and helps re-energize them.”

Amniotic tissue is only part of the picture. Cells from the patient’s own bone marrow are another critical component.

THE HUMAN BODY has an amazing ability to self-heal through the use of super cells that direct damaged tissue to repair itself. BioCellular Therapies takes advantage of that almost magical ability to produce permanent, positive results.

To harvest bone marrow, the surgeon removes cells from the patient’s bones, typically at the hip or shin – two of the cell-richest and easiest locations – through a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a small catheter inserted into a tiny incision to collect the cell specimens.

Once they arrive at the injured tissue, regenerative cells assume the characteristics of that host tissue to initiate its healing.

Because the more cells the better, BioCellular Therapies uses proven methods that deliver the maximum benefit of these cells to the injured tissue, thus accelerating the healing process.

The treatment’s beauty is not just its efficacy, but its simplicity. Bone marrow aspiration takes less than half an hour and adult stem cell injections about 10 to 15 minutes.

Two or three days later, there is normally neither pain nor residual swelling at the injection site.

STEM CELL THERAPY NEW IN U.S.

Regenerative medicine is not new.

Just ask the countless professional athletes who now opt for this procedure in conjunction, or as an alternative, to surgery.

There is a reason these athletes are back on the field quicker than ever – cell therapy.

Stem cell therapy has been used for many years to treat many diseases, but mainstream application for spinal and orthopedic issues is relatively new in the United States.

In fact, it is so new that insurance companies have yet to cover these procedures, and Eaker expects this to be the case for at least 10 years.

SEASONED SPECIALISTS

Leading the BioCellular Therapies team in Melbourne are Dr. Brian Dowdell and Dr. John Hermansdorfer, both seasoned specialists who have spent years researching optimum regenerative medicine results for their patients.

Dowdell, who earned his medical degree from the University of Buffalo, completed his internship in internal medicine at the University of Buffalo and his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation and pain medicine at Stanford University Medical Center where he later served as assistant clinical professor.

Past president of the Brevard County Medical Society and delegate for the Florida Medical Association, Dowdell has been in private practice since 1998 and is the founder of Spine, Orthopedics and Rehabilitation (SOAR) in Melbourne.

DR. JOHN HERMANSDORFER focuses on reconstructive surgery of the upper and lower extremities, as well as arthroscopic and general orthopedic procedures, and has also done extensive research on the use of regenerative medicine for orthopedic and joint problems.

With BioCellular Therapies, he specializes in regenerative medicine to help with spinal issues.

Dr. John Hermansdorfer, of Atlantic Orthopaedic Group, focuses on reconstructive surgery of the upper and lower extremities, as well as arthroscopic and general orthopedic procedures.

He has also done extensive research on the use of regenerative medicine for orthopedic and joint problems.

A graduate of the University of Kentucky Medical School, Hermansdorfer completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Florida and received fellowship training in hand surgery at the Indiana Center for Surgery and Rehabilitation of the Hand in Indianapolis.

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons awarded him a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Surgery of the Hand.

“Between the two of them, they have over 40 years in medical service,” said Eaker.

POSITIVE RESULTS

The practice is the only one in Florida to offer insterstitial laser, laser treatment delivered via needle directly into the affected area. The laser is used as follow-up to stem cell therapy.

“We use the maximum amount of super cells and follow it with laser for optimum results,” said Eaker.

While most patients are good candidates for the procedure, individuals on blood thinners or antibiotics do not qualify for stem cell therapy.
