StemCell Therapy

Regenerative medicine promotes the reparative response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells. Researchers prepare the stem cells in a lab beforehand, and are manipulated to specialize into specific types of cells, such as heart muscle cells, blood cells or nerve cells. While Stem cell therapy requires no invasive surgery, these stem cells called placental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are prepared beforehand, and injected directly into the area of pain or injury of your joint, muscle, ligament, or tendon. This procedures objective is simply to relieve pain, while the new stem cells stimulate your body to repair itself and heal faster, by generating healthy tissue. Stem cell therapy has recently had a major breakthrough within the medical field, particularly in the field of Orthopedics, due to the potential of these stem cells ability to allow the body to heal itself, and possibly eliminate arthritis pain and other chronic or acute pain from injuries. Benefits of Regenerative Medicine:

What is it? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary procedure that uses components of the bodys own blood cells to stimulate the natural healing process in certain orthopedic conditions.The bodys first response to any soft tissue injury (ligaments and tendons) is to deliver platelet cells. Filled with healing and growth factors, the platelets jump-start the repair process. The platelets are separated from the rest of the blood cells and put through a process called centrifugation, which increases the platelets concentration. These platelets are then injected into the area needed with different concentrations of other cells to enhance the bodies healing process and decrease pain. This quick procedure can also provide effective pain relief, eliminating the need for surgery and prolonged recovery.

Amniotic tissue has been used for many years to treat a variety of medical issues and has had excellent results. More recently there has been application to orthopedic issues such as arthritis and tendon/ligament healing. The amniotic membrane is a layer of the amniotic sac, which is donated after birth and does not contain fetal tissue. It is dehydrated and stored and then rehydrated at the time of injection. The process is very simple and similar to a cortisone injection. The injection can decrease inflammation and promote healing through multiple growth factors. It is safe and very effective.

Many orthopedic conditions can be treated with PRP or Amnitoic Membrane injections, including chronic pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. If you have pain, limited mobility, swelling, or sports injuries, chances are regenerative medicine therapy can benefit you, and has shown promising results, treating these common conditions:
