StemCell Therapy

What regenerative medicine options do you offer?

DMOS offers three types of regenerative medicine options, all commonly used to treat different musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, muscle strains, tendon and ligament injuries.

The injection type differs based on the patient assessment and their individualized needs.

By definition, PRP is a collection of growth factors (which are proteins that are important in the healing of injuries), that can have controlled levels of white and red blood cells, based on the healing process necessary. Laboratory studies have shown that the increased concentration of growth factors in PRP can potentially speed up the healing process. Many world-class athletes use PRP therapy to repair their sports injuries faster.

Technically, BMAC is a collection of growth factors and cells, which include stem cells. Physicians use BMAC when they believe the potential upside of containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is necessary for treatment.

This injection serves to help as a local anti-inflammatory and reset the bodys natural balance in the arthritic joint. In technical terms, APS is a denatured PRP that delivers proteins, which block arthritic pain receptors. APS may be the preferred course of treatment based on if the patient exhibits radiographic evidence of knee, hip or shoulder OA (osteoarthritis).
