It’s an age-old question in medicine, is this safe? Is it effective? With the rise of regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies, people wonder if therapies such as Platelet Rich Plasma, Exosomes/Stem Cells, and Ozone Therapies are safe and effective for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis. Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell treatments can […]
PRP Therapy How Does it Work? Platelet Rich Plasma therapy (PRP) is a growing area in pain management. It is a regenerative medicine that uses a patient’s own blood cells to treat pain. According to the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine, PRP shows promise for treating ailments such as osteoarthritis. As well as treating conditions
Some sports injuries heal fairly quickly on their own with rest and mild activity. While others are like a torn ACL, are unlikely to heal with traditional treatments. Now regenerative medicine such as PRP therapy, Stem Cell Therapy, and others may be able to help heal sports injuries. These regenerative treatments can help get players
Reactions to new materials or objects is eliminated with stem cell therapies as the patient’s own cells. Joint pain has become a growing problem with the extended life expectancy in the US. There are about 1 million joint replacement surgeries performed in the US annually. With that the number projecting to increase to nearly 4
From diabetes to spinal cord injuries, stem cells have the potential to treat diseases and ailments of all types. And the list continues to grow. Regenerative medicine has become a beneficial option for patients with back problems. Advances have enabled spinal surgeons to use stem cells to treat patients helping in the regeneration of degenerated
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, sometimes called PRP therapy or autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) therapy, attempts to take advantage of the blood’s natural healing properties to repair damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, or even bone. Although not considered standard practice, a growing number of people are turning to PRP injections to treat an expanding list of orthopedic
Platelet Rich Plasma is a therapy treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to heal itself. Blood is taken from the patient and spun down to separate the different components: red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma. The plasma, is rich with platelets that are natural occurring healing components in the body. The Platelet
Spinal cord injuries can have an effect on other functional areas of the body. Researchers have designed a device which could combine treatment techniques that could restore function to uninjured areas of the body. Combining neuronal stem cells and 3d printing to create an implantable device that would be able to grow new nerve cells
Regenerative Medicine is a relatively new branch of medicine that seeks to promote healing and repair of native tissues that are damaged. Using various chemicals, growth factors, and cell transplants, the goal of the treatment is to heal a variety of organs within the body. Currently there are thousands of studies into regeneration and repair.
Many people have heard the term “platelet-rich plasma” in news stories in connection with athletic injuries, however, not all may realize that when platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is injected into and around a joint, it is actually a type of prolotherapy. In fact, PRP has been used as a formula in prolotherapy since around 2005. The
