Neil Raff, M.D., CNS, of American Stem Cell Center, is pleased to share some exciting news; he has been seeing great success in his expanded services as medical director at the regenerative medical practice located in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Dr. Raff has specialized in functional medicine for more than 30 years and his ever-expanding interest in complementary medicine has led him to combine his professional medical practices with natural and nutritional therapies, and more recently, stem cell therapy.

Adult stem cells can now be extracted, concentrated and injected into various parts of the body to stimulate local healing and repair. This is very effective for orthopedic ailments, such as in joints, ligaments and tendons, where blood flow is very minimal. This form of treatment often avoids the need for surgical replacement, providing more rapid relief of local symptoms. Raff states that he also uses stem cell therapy to treat spinal cord injuries, peripheral artery disease, cardiac disease, strokes, autoimmune conditions and more.

Stem cell treatment is a one day in-office procedure, requiring only a local anesthetic. Because the patient’s own stem cells (technically called adipose- (fat) derived stromal Cell—ADSC) are used, there is no danger of allergic reaction or tissue rejection.
