Regenerative medicine is evolving rapidly, every year we are improving upon prior treatments and discovering new and exciting ways to turn back the clock and restore our bodies. No single area of medicine is poised to change medicine the way regenerative treatment will. For musculoskeletal pain, Stem Cells can be administered directly to a site of need such as an injured or knee, hip and shoulder joints as well as injecting around the ligaments of the spine to help strengthen and stabilize areas of weakness and reduce pain.
What are regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine is the basic building block of human tissue’s ability to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate in the body. When a disease or injury strikes, cells respond to specific signals and set about to facilitate the healing process by differentiating into specialized cells required for the body’s repair.
Regenerative medicine has the capacity to migrate to injured or diseased tissues that are signaling for help. Once delivered to a site of injury, they go to work preforming their job of regenerating new cells and naturally healing the body. Regenerative medicine increases new blood vessel formation which aids in adding vasculature so that tissues can receive proper blood flow and the correct nutrients needed to heal.
Examples of conditions we frequently treat with regenerative medicine:
- Degenerative disc disease involving the spine
- Rotator cuff injuries of the shoulder
- Labrum injuries involving the shoulder/hip
- Meniscus tears of the knee
- ACL injuries
- Knee arthritis
- Cartilage damage involving lesser joints such as the elbow, ankle, hand and foot
- Plantar fasciitis
- And many other injuries and diseases.
