Are you living with chronic pain that keeps you from being as mobile as you wish, causes you to miss work, and reduces your quality of life? You’re not alone. More than 1 out of 5 adults in the U.S. experiences chronic pain. “Pain management techniques have gone through major advances in the last decade with no major improvement in the quality of life in affected populations,” states the National Institutes of Health. “But recently there has been growing interest in the utilization of stem cells for pain management.”
