STEM CELL FAQS
1. What is stem cell therapy and how does it work at Ecore Wellness?
What is stem cell therapy and how does it work at Ecore Wellness? At Ecore Wellness, stem cell therapy involves using high-quality regenerative cells to support the body’s natural healing mechanisms. These cells can help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and enhance recovery—especially when combined with our comprehensive integrative approach addressing root causes of disease.
2. Who can benefit from stem cell therapy?
We’ve found two main groups of clients who benefit most: Individuals managing chronic illness or auto-immune conditions, seeking root-cause healing and inflammation reversal. High-performing individuals focused on longevity, optimized recovery, and advanced wellness. If you’re looking beyond symptom-management toward deeper, cellular-level change, stem cell therapies may be right for you.
3. What types of stem cells do you use, and where do they come from?
Our clinic uses ethically sourced, clinically-tested stem cells—selected to meet the highest safety and efficacy standards. We integrate these therapies into personalized protocols that may include ozone treatments, peptides, IV therapy, acupuncture, lymphatic and tissue work, nutrition and more.
4. Is stem cell therapy safe?
Yes—when performed by an experienced medical team in a credentialed facility, stem cell therapy is considered safe. At Ecore Wellness your treatment will be overseen by a physician, with careful screening, monitoring and follow-up as part of our integrative, clinical program.
5. What conditions might stem cell therapy help with?
Stem cell therapy may support recovery and healing in situations such as chronic inflammation, auto-immune disorders, tissue degeneration, post-surgical recovery, and anti-aging or longevity goals. Because we operate within an integrative model, we also combine stem cells with therapies like peptides and IV support.
6. What is EXM?
EXM is a unique, minimally manipulated, tissue matrix allograft processed from human placental tissues. This tissue matrix contains collagen and growth factors along with other key biologic components.
7. Do you use embryonic tissue?
No. Our provider (RRG) does not use embryonic tissue. Their products come from ethically sourced, donated perinatal tissue, such as umbilical cord tissue, following full-term, healthy births with donor consent.
8. How is it processed?
Safety is a top priority. Our provider follows all FDA regulations regarding tissue processing. It begins with meticulous screening of the donor mother and father, as well as family members across multiple generations, to identify qualified candidates. There is 100% chain of custody. A recovery specialist will collect the postnatal donation at the designated hospital and immediately return to the lab with the donation. Once processed all materials are quarantined for 14 days and thoroughly tested for bacterial and disease contamination by a CLIA-certified lab, ensuring a clean and safe product.
9. Is this compliant in the United States?
EXM is minimally processed and used only for homologous use to comply with U.S. FDA regulations for human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) under 21 CFR Part 1271.
10. What is the difference between this and what I can get outside of the United States?
Outside of the country labs are generally using expanded cells. Expanded cells lose their regenerative capacity each generation they are expanded. Our cells are master cells. In short, this product is far more potent than what you would be able to get outside of the country in most cases.
11. Do you have to match blood types from the donor?
No. The products that are being used are derived from perinatal tissue. Perinatal tissue has unique immunogenic suppressant properties. They are also all processed in sterile environments to ensure that there is no contamination. Perinatal tissue is also a universally accepted product.
12. How can EXM benefit me?
EXM works by doing exactly what it does at its source: providing supportive scaffolding, cushioning, and support. EXM provides a comprehensive scaffold for your own tissue.
13. Is it considered a performance-enhancing drug (PED)?
No. Our EXM therapies are not classified as performance-enhancing drugs.
14. How long before I start to see results?
Individual experiences vary. Some patients report feeling changes within weeks, while others may take longer.
15. How does this compare to other treatments like PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses the patient’s own blood components. Our products are derived from perinatal tissue, potentially offering a different range of growth factors and cytokines. In general, you need more PRP treatments to see the same results as a single treatment of our EXM product.
16. How much does it cost?
The cost of EXM treatment can vary based on the specific application and the level of care needed. However, many patients find it to be a truly valuable investment in their long-term health, vitality, and quality of life. To ensure you receive personalized pricing and to explore the treatment options best suited to your unique needs, schedule a consultation with us today.
17. How many treatments will I need?
This depends on individual factors and desired outcomes. We will outline a plan tailored to your needs.
18. Is the treatment painful?
EXM is a minimally invasive treatment. Most patients report only mild discomfort during and after the procedure.
19. How do I get started?
Schedule a customized consultation with us and we can discuss your specific concerns and go over a detailed treatment plan.
Ozone Therapy FAQs
1. What is Ozone?
Ozone (O3) is a molecule made of three oxygen atoms. While atmospheric ozone can be harmful, controlled ozone has many therapeutic benefits.
2. What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is an integrative medical treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O₃), a highly energized form of oxygen, to support the body’s natural healing processes. Ozone therapy may help improve oxygen utilization, support immune function, and promote cellular repair.
Ozone therapy has been utilized and heavily studied for over a century, particularly in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It works by inactivating bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa; stimulating oxygen metabolism; and activating the immune system.
3.How does ozone therapy work in the body?
Ozone therapy works by increasing oxygen efficiency at the cellular level, improving circulation, and supporting the body’s natural detoxification and immune responses. This process may help reduce oxidative stress and enhance overall wellness.
4. What are the benefits of ozone therapy?
Common benefits of ozone therapy may include:
- Increased energy and reduced fatigue
- Immune system support
- Reduced inflammation
- Enhanced recovery and performance
- Improved circulation and oxygen delivery
5. What types of ozone therapy are offered at ECore Wellness?
At ECore Wellness in Coronado, we offer advanced ozone therapies including:
- Major Autohemotherapy (MAH)
- Ozone IV therapy
- Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (eBOO)
- Prolozone therapy (regenerative joint injections)
- Localized ozone applications
Prolozone therapy is a regenerative injection treatment that combines ozone with nutrients to support joint healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility in conditions such as knee pain, shoulder injuries, and chronic joint instability.
6. Is ozone therapy safe?
Ozone therapy is considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals using prop
7. What is EBOO Ozone Therapy?
EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) is an advanced ozone treatment that detoxifies several liters of blood in one session. Blood is drawn from a vein, filtered, ozonated with a continuous ozone flow, and then returned to the body through another vein.
8. How does EBOO help?
EBOO boosts tissue and cellular oxygenation, stimulates stronger immune responses, decreases inflammation, helps remove toxins, inactivates harmful microbes, and enhances blood flow and microcirculation.
9. What conditions can benefit from Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy can support a variety of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Lyme disease, chronic hepatitis, herpes, chronic fatigue states, chemical sensitivity, macular degeneration, chronic bladder conditions, colitis, auto-immune diseases, and Crohn's disease. It kills viruses, fungi, and bacteria, increases tissue oxygenation, relieves pain and inflammation, and up-regulates antioxidant enzyme defenses.
10. Is Ozone Therapy safe?
Ozone has been proven to be extremely safe, with minor respiratory irritation if inhaled. However, medical use of ozone should be carefully considered for individuals with: acute and chronic tendency to bleeding/hemophilia, pregnancy, photosensitivity or taking photo-active medication, active diverticulitis and active diverticulosis, low platelet count, porphyria (UV blood irradiation), possibly overactive thyroid or thyrotoxicosis, or a known deficiency of the Glucose-6-phosphate enzyme (G6PD).
