What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine focuses on replacing, re-engineering, or regenerating human cells, organs, and tissue to restore or establish normal function.
Though research is in its early stages, regenerative medicine can replace damaged tissue and organs and stimulate the body to repair damaged tissue and organs.
Regenerative Orthopaedics and Spine Institute is excited to offer regenerative medicine to their orthopedic patients. Their innovative therapies have been shown to help patients avoid invasive surgeries and provide healing support during recovery from surgery.
What kinds of regenerative medicine are available?
Regenerative Orthopaedics and Spine Institute offers many kinds of regenerative medicine.
Amniotic tissue allografts
Amniotic tissue allografts are a type of regenerative medicine made up of collagen and other structural proteins. The allograft serves as a natural scaffold that your body uses to build new tissue.
Regenerative Orthopaedics and Spine Institute uses BioDRestore™ from Integra LifeSciences Corp. for their amniotic tissue allografts. They perform this regenerative medicine treatment at the office and also during some surgical procedures to promote healing.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
PRP injections contain a high concentration of the healing properties found in your own blood, including platelets, specialized proteins, and growth factors.
When your provider injects PRP into your diseased or damaged tissue, the healing properties stimulate and speed up your body’s natural healing process.
The team at Regenerative Orthopaedics and Spine Institute offers PRP injections to help many orthopedic conditions. They also use them as a tool for pain management.
Adipose cells
Stem cells taken from adipose (fat) tissue can replicate and transform into specialized cells. In orthopedic care, adipose-derived cells support the reconstruction and regeneration of damaged muscle, connective, and bone tissue.
