Understanding Radio Frequency Ablation
Regenerative medicine is a medical field that focuses on developing therapies to repair, regenerate, or replace damaged or diseased cells to restore the normal functions of cells, tissues or organs in the body.
It promotes healing and reduces pain by stimulating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and restoring function. Regenerative medicine offers long-lasting relief for conditions like osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and chronic pain while minimizing the need for surgery and pain medications. Leveraging therapies like stem cells and PRP provide a safe, natural, and effective alternative for pain management.
Types Of Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP therapy, utilizes the platelets 'regenerative
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP therapy, utilizes the platelets 'regenerative powers and the growth factors inside them to repair the damaged tissue when injected in sufficient quantities into injured or diseased tissues.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy is similar to PRP therapy. An allogenic (patient’s own)
Stem Cell Therapy is similar to PRP therapy. An allogenic (patient’s own) stem cell that can be harvested from bone marrow or adipose tissue is injected into damaged tissues.
Prolotherapy
It is a method of utilizing irritant solutions such as concentrated dextrose
It is a method of utilizing irritant solutions such as concentrated dextrose solution injected into damaged tissues and degenerated joints to induce inflammation inside the injected tissue and initiate repair in them.
Growth Factors
Growth factors play a crucial role in regenerative medicine
Growth factors play a crucial role in regenerative medicine by enhancing cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration. These growth factors can either be derived from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC).
Regenerative Medicine Helpful In
- Osteoarthritis of knee, hip and shoulder
- Shoulder tendon and ligament injuries, such as partial tears of rotator cuff muscles
- Elbow conditions like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Degenerative conditions of discs such as Intradiscal tears and facet joint arthritis
- Heel conditions such Achilles Tendinopathy and Plantar Fasciitis
- Sports-related muscle and tendon sprains
Procedure and Safety Considerations
- Doctor checks health and suggests treatment
- Small sample (blood, fat, or bone marrow) is taken
- Sample processed to extract healing cells
- Cells injected or implanted into damaged area
- New cells repair tissue, reduce pain, and improve function
- Follow-up checks ensure proper healing
