Stem Cell Therapy

Regenerative therapies are a spectrum of cutting-edge therapeutic techniques used to naturally treat and heal the underlying cause of a painful condition rather than masking the symptom. Regenerative therapies stimulate and accelerate your own body’s natural ability to heal itself. Two of the most effective regenerative therapies include stem cells and platelet rich plasma.

Allograft

We do not provide injection of amniotic or umbilical cord products as these can be a source of contamination, infection or host reaction.

Autograft

The product is obtained from the patient’s own body, and therefore eliminates the fear of rejection. Stem Cells are obtained from the patient’s pelvic bone, where the highest concentration is found.

Stem Cell therapy

 Stem cells are “undifferentiated” cells. They have the capability to develop into another type of cell that can  repair or replace damaged tissue. The main function of the stem cell is to produce cytokines, growth factors and exosomes that stimulate existing stem cells of the joint or tendon. These stem cell products are also known to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects.

Stem cell therapy can potentially repair tissues that are too damaged to heal on their own and provide significant pain relief.

Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes platelets taken from the patient’s own blood to rebuild damaged tendons or cartilage.

Platelets normally circulate within the blood stream and are responsible for blood clotting and initiating a healing response in an acute injury. Many acute injuries do not heal adequately and can lead to chronic pain and loss of function of the injured area. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy allows us to harvest the patient’s own platelets and re-inject those platelets into the site of the injury to initiate healing and improvement of function. This is typically done under image guidance such as ultrasound, X- Ray or CT.

Our Experience

Our physicians have years of experience in minimally invasive procedures with additional training in regenerative injection techniques. The entire staff is dedicated to providing you with the best possible experience. Our experienced board-certified radiologist will review your MRI, or any other diagnostic exams to confirm the diagnosis.

Schedule an appointment with our physicians to determine if one of these cutting-edge procedures could be right for you.

Our Technology

All procedures are performed under the guidance of ultrasound, CT or an X-ray unit to maximize results. We’ve incorporated the latest innovations that help us obtain the best concentrations of PRP and stem cells.

The Injection Procedure

Platelet rich plasma therapy and stem cell injections are done at our office and take about an hour. Patients return home the same day and are often able to return to work the following day.
