Patent ID: 8728809

Claim:
A method comprising: applying to in-vivo stem cells at a first target location in a human or animal body a first number of shock waves to proliferate stems cells as in-vivo proliferated stem cells in place at the first target location; after applying the first number of shock waves, harvesting at least some of the in-vivo proliferated stem cells as harvested stem cells from the target first location; after harvesting at least some of the in-vivo proliferated stem cells, applying to at least some of the harvested stem cells in-vitro a second number of shock waves to further proliferate the harvested stem cells as in-vitro proliferated stem cells; applying to a second target location in a human or animal body a third number of shock waves to stimulate blood vessel formation at the second target location; after applying the second number of shock waves and the third number of shock waves, transplanting by at least one of autologous transplant and allogenic transplant at least some of the in-vitro proliferated stem cells as transplanted stem cells to the second target location for treatment; and after transplanting at least some of the in-vitro proliferated stem cells, applying to at least some of the transplanted stem cells at the second location a fourth number of shock waves to stimulate reconstruction of tissue at the second target location.
