Kylie Jenner spoke about trying trying stem cell therapy
Kylie Jenner has opened up about a struggle with back issues that she has been silently dealing with for the past few years. She got vulnerable and shared how, since the birth of her son, Aire, three years ago, she has been dealing with a chronic backache. The beauty mogul also revealed that she recently underwent stem cell therapy and advocated for its healing powers.
In a series of Instagram Stories posted on Wednesday, December 3, the 28-year-old star shared photos from her medical journey. One image showed her lying in a hospital bed, while others showed bandages on her lower back after the treatment. Kylie shared that her back pain began after her pregnancy and has continued to plague her despite trying several treatments.
Inspired by her older sister Kim Kardashian, the younger Jenner sibling also decided to try this treatment.
“I have been dealing with bad chronic back pain for almost three years after my last pregnancy, and nothing I tried seemed to help,” she wrote.
“Hearing how much relief Kim got gave me the confidence to look into stem cell therapy. I went to Dr. Akhan and his team at Eterna Health, and I’m honestly so grateful for the opportunity and resources,” she added.
She did remind her followers that everyone’s body is different, so what worked for her and her sister need not work for others, too. She advised her fans to do their research and consult with doctors before considering any medical treatment. She wrote, “I just wanted to shared in case this helps anyone.”
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
As per the National Institute of Health, this is medical treatment and it uses stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells are unique, as they can develop into many different cell types in the body. They are taken from bone marrow, fat, or umbilical cord blood and then injected into the affected area. This treatment can help heal injuries, regenerate tissues, and treat certain diseases like blood disorders, heart problems, or neurodegenerative conditions.
Research is ongoing to expand its applications, but stem cell therapy offers promising potential for regenerative medicine and improving the quality of life.
What’s Muse Stem Cell Therapy that Kardashian-Jenner brood love?
Muse stem cell therapy uses naturally occurring cells in the body to repair damaged tissues by transforming into necessary cell types and replacing damaged ones. According to a report by The Economic Times, these cells are found in bone marrow and other tissues. They possess pluripotency-like features and move to the damaged areas in response to an “SOS” signal from the body. They have a high resistance to stressful conditions.
All three sisters have undergone this treatment under the guidance of Canadian doctor Adeel Khan, who runs a clinic in Mexico, where it is legal to do so. This treatment is illegal in the US, as the FDA has approved some stem cell treatments only for those with blood disorders. The criteria for these approvals are very strict and are only done for medical purposes. The FDA does not consider these treatments safe or effective, and they are not legally permitted in the country.
Kim Kardashian shares her stem cell therapy journey
In August this year, Kim Kardashian opened up about undergoing treatment for her shoulder pain. She wrote a long post on Instagram to share her issues and how stem cell therapy helped her bear with and get rid of the pain.
“Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna. His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells™️, and the results were immediate. I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since,” she wrote.
After she saw this treatment was a success for her, Kim went back to Dr Khan to “address chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for years”.
Calling it a “game-changer”, she wrote, “I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone. If you’re struggling with back pain, I can’t recommend this treatment enough – it’s transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down.”
Kim also mentioned that she had to travel to Mexico to be treated, as “Muse stem cells aren’t yet accessible in the US”. She ended by saying that she is “deeply grateful for the opportunity and resources to pursue this healing” and prays that “the science continues to evolve so more people can benefit”.
