What Makes Our Stem Cell Treatment for Spinal Cord Injury Effective?
Since 2005, we have been developing comprehensive stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury protocols to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. In our protocols, stem cells are combined with specialized therapies for spinal cord injury that not only focus on helping the patient to cope with their symptoms, but also treat the root cause of the condition by promoting the healing of the original injury. We believe that our comprehensive stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury gives the best chances of improvements, allowing for a better quality of life.
Optionally and in addition to our stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury protocol, we are providing a cutting edge epidural stimulation technology that helps neurological signals to bypass the injury site in the spinal cord, helping to regain function below the injury.
How does stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury work?
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have shown great potential for the treatment of spinal cord injuries due to their differentiation potential, immunomodulatory properties, secretion of growth factors and cytokines, migration and integration capabilities.
MSCs secrete a variety of growth factors and cytokines that can promote nerve growth, including nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). Stem cells can also induce the expression of neurotrophic factors, which are proteins that promote the growth and survival of neurons. Through promotion of angiogenesis, MSCs promote the formation of new blood vessels, which can provide oxygen and nutrients to support nerve growth.
Narine spent 3 months in a coma and 7 years with no use of her lower limbs due to a tragic car accident that left her with a spinal cord injury and minor traumatic brain injury. Thanks to the combination of stem cells and a revolutionary new epidural electrode stimulation device from Medtronic, Narine is now able to control her legs and support herself. Narine is the first woman to receive this device, the 5th ever, and the first person to undergo this unique stem cell + implant treatment.
Potential improvements after stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury
The purpose of stem cell therapy is to promote the healing of the original injury in order to restore neurological function. Thus, various kinds of improvement are possible after our treatment. Our past patients have experienced the following among others*:
- Improved motor function
- Increased sensation
- Decreased spasticity
- Decreased neuropathic pain
- Improve bladder & bowel function
- Increase sweating function
- Pain relief
*It is important to remember that as for any medical treatment, improvements cannot be guaranteed. Please contact us for more information regarding the possible improvements for a particular case.
Our stem cell treatment for SCI
Since 2005, we have been developing and optimizing our stem cell treatment protocols with the concept that only a very comprehensive solution can allow patients with spinal cord injury to truly benefit from stem cells. We believe that stimulation through various therapies is crucial to enhance stem cell regenerative response. Therefore our protocols include a daily therapy program to support the stem cells.
We provide a wide variety and large quantities of stem cells in order to adapt to each patient specific condition and deliver maximized regenerative potential for our patients.
Our stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury program consist in 6 to 8 simple and minimally invasive injections of umbilical cord derived stem cells. The stem cells are transplanted using intravenous injection, and through intrathecal injection performed after lumbar puncture. These two delivery methods allow for increased efficacy while ensuring safety and minimum inconvenience for the patient.

Patient Experience Stories
Find out more about patients previously treated with Beike stem cell protocols. The families participating in these blog posts talk about their stories and present their own view of the treatment, including thoughts regarding the daily therapies, the stem cell injection themselves as well as improvement noticed during and after treatment.
Stem Cell Quality and Quantity Ensured
Different types of stem cells for different needs
Beike provides stem cells from two separate sources: umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue. Umbilical cord related samples are donated by healthy mothers after normal births and are sent to Beike Biotech’s laboratories for processing.
After reviewing the patient’s full medical information, our doctors will recommend which source of stem cells should be used for treatment. Our treatment protocols may include one or multiple types of stem cells in combination depending on each patient’s specific condition.
Highest International Stem Cell Processing Standards
Beike Biotechnology is processing its own adult stem cells in its internationally accredited laboratories. The company has full control over the processing and quality control of all stem cell products, ensuring perfect safety and highest quality.
Patient Videos
Below are video interviews recorded during treatment with Beike stem cells. The families showcased in these videos talk about their personal stories and their experience of the treatment including the improvement noticed.
The improvements mentioned in these videos are typical, however it does not guarantee that all patients may have the same improvements.
Why Choose Beike for a Stem Cell Treatment?
Experience: With more than a decade of practice, you are ensured to be advised and treated by competent professionals.
Safety: Accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) and following highest international standards, our stem cell processing methods and laboratories ensure that you receive the best stem cell quality available.
Diversity: Multiple types of stem cells having different capabilities are available to adapt to each patient’s specific condition. We do not use the same type of stem cells for all patients.
Extensiveness: A complete supportive therapy program is provided daily to stimulate patient’s freshly transplanted stem cells. The best improvement can only be obtain by supporting your stem cells.
Support: A full follow-up program is provided after the treatment and you will be asked to take part in it at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Access to our team after the treatment is very important as you may receive further advice to maximize improvements.
