PRP & Stem Cell Advances
Regenerative Injection Therapy Offers an Alternative to and Enhances Outcome of Surgical Procedures
Of all the treatments I offer, I am most excited about Regenerative Injection Therapy with stem cells. Over the past several years, I have studied alongside the country’s leading experts in the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and fat injections to treat orthopedic injuries and arthritic joints. This is a treatment option for orthopedic injuries and conditions that have traditionally required surgery or other extensive treatments.
The procedure involves extracting a minimal amount of a patient’s own blood, stem cells, and fat. I then inject the combined fluid into an injured area or an arthritic joint, which releases bioactive tissue growth factors. These growth factors lead to improved natural tissue healing. When platelets are injected into an arthritic joint with cartilage damage, the new collagen stimulates the growth of cartilage. Depending on the condition or treatment plan, I may also recommend using a patient’s stem cells. Stem cells are extracted from the patient’s own bone marrow or fat from the belly. The stem cells are filtered, cleansed, and then injected into an arthritic joint.
Here is an excellent article, reprinted with permission from the author, that details PRP procedures and the benefits to patients with musculoskeletal injuries.
I studied with America's leading experts in the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), stem cells, and fat injections to treat torn tendons, ligaments, and osteoarthritis.
