Cellular Therapy Cleveland OH
If you live in the Cleveland area and suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you might be interested to know you can receive treatment without buying an airline ticket. Only a 2-hour drive from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a cultural phenomenon. It’s unlike any city in the United States due to its diverse history of a tough labor industry. However, the industry that is making news today is the growing field of medical tourism. With Pittsburgh’s vibrant and prestigious healthcare economy, many people are choosing to visit Pittsburgh not only for the treatment of their debilitating conditions, but also to take a short vacation in this beautiful city.
Treating Lung Disease with Cells
Lung disease is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and most traditional treatment options only treat the symptoms rather than the disease itself. Most who have been diagnosed with lung disease are prescribed a bronchodilator and daily medication to clear the respiratory path and reduce coughing. The advent of cellular therapy is a game-changer for those with lung disease.
To date the Lung Institute has treated over 1,000 patients with cellular therapy, and is excited to increase the number of improved lives with the addition of the Pittsburgh Clinic. Dr. Jack Coleman, Jr, MD, is the Medical Director for the Lung Institute in Pittsburgh. He earned his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati as well as completed his internship and general surgery residency at the institution. Dr. Coleman is a board certified in physician and ensures that all treatments and staff will follow strict standards with the highest excellence in personalized patient care.
How Does the Lung Institute use Cells?
The Lung Institute offers cellular therapys for many of the major pulmonary conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease. The cells used by the Lung Institute are autologous, which means they come from the patient’s own body. The cells are extracted from the patient’s own blood. Cells have the capacity to form many types of differentiated cells, so when the cells are returned to the patient, they will target the damaged tissue, which leads to improved lung function in patients with a chronic lung disease. Our minimally invasive, outpatient cellular therapy are changing lives by helping patients breathe easier.
Why Choose the Lung Institute?
At the Lung Institute, we recognize the challenges of finding effective and sustainable treatment options for patients who might be suffering from debilitating lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, or interstitial lung disease. By harnessing the body’s innate healing capacity, we have developed revolutionary, minimally invasive cellular therapies to help treat lung disease. Our goal is to help patients breathe easier, improve their quality of life and provide hope.
Multiple Treatment Facilities
With facilities in Tampa, Nashville, Scottsdale and Pittsburgh, our patients can choose from any of these locations for their cellular therapy. By applying modern-day best practices to the growing field of regenerative medicine, the Lung Institute is improving lives.
