Change Is Necessary

A change is much needed in the traditional approach to treat orthopedics problems and in the pain management. Until recently, standard treatments for musculoskeletal injuries to joints, tendons, ligaments, muscle, bone and intervertebral discs have been focused on medications, ablation of nerves, and surgeries. Regrettably, these attempted approaches are loaded with potentially unpleasant side effects, produce unsatisfactory outcomes, and, in many cases, exacerbate the condition.

 

Non-surgical regenerative orthopedics is an innovative, natural, and highly successful alternative to common orthopedics & sports  conditions that would otherwise require surgery. This intriguing field offers new ways to treat orthopedic or musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and other degenerative conditions by utilizing a tissue preservation technique that uses the body’s own repairing cells to assist the human body regain more normal function. Regenerative orthopedic procedures help your body in self healing and helps in strengthening the damaged tissue. Advanced treatment protocols concentrate your own platelets, growth factors, and bone marrow cells and deliver them precisely into the site of your injury to support and promote natural healing.

Regenerative medicine is a type of medicine that uses biologic treatments to alleviate the symptoms of certain orthopedic diseases and has the potential to improve musculoskeletal tissue recovery. Regenerative therapies, also sometimes called orthobiologics, use biological tissues found in the human body, such as blood, fat or bone marrow.

In most circumstances, this sort of biologic treatment is developed by treating an injury with the patient’s own tissue. These therapies are generally safe for patients, since they are derived from the patient’s own body (Venous blood or Bone marrow).

What is Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine Used for?

Regenerative orthopedics can help with musculoskeletal pain and discomfort, as well as the repair of orthopedic disorders such tendon, ligament, bone, muscle, spinal disc, meniscus of the knee, cartilage, and other musculoskeletal supporting tissue injuries. Most of these body parts have poor ability to heal on their own. The idea behind regenerative medicine is to help these tissues heal better naturally.

Orthobiologics can be used to treat degenerative diseases like arthritis, as well as sports injuries and traumas. Some patients may be able to forego orthopedic surgery solely because of regenerative medicine. The following are some of the conditions that are often treated with regenerative medicine:

  • osteoarthritis and joint pain
  • tendonitis and tendinosis
  • degenerative disc disease in the spine
  • intervertebral disc tears
  • fractures (broken bones) with improper healing ability
  • cartilage injuries
  • muscle strain injuries in athletes
  • meniscus tears
  • labral tears (hip or shoulder labrum)
  • ligament sprains or tears (ACL  or MCL knee tears)
  • partial tendon tears
  • nerve inflammation
  • plantar fasciitis 

Following orthopedic surgeries such as ACL reconstruction or other ligament surgeries, as well as meniscus repair, regenerative medicine may assist speed up and optimize the healing process.

How Can You Get Benefited From Regenerative Medicine For Your Orthopedic Problems?

The following are a few benefits of regenerative medicine:

Accelerated Healing  

Your body is a natural healer, as you already know. You’ve experienced firsthand how quickly and easily your body heals itself. You can augment those healing qualities with regenerative medicine by concentrating and precisely aiming them where they’re needed the most. Your doctor injects the Super concentrated platelets – Regenexx (SCP) or bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) preparation directly into the area of injury or damage.

Whether you’re suffering from a degenerative disease, such as arthritis, or have suffered an acute injury, such as a torn tendon or any other tissue damage, bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and Super concentrated platelets – Regenexx (SCP) speed up the healing process. When used either separately or together, Super concentrated platelets – Regenexx (SCP) and therapy using bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) can:

  • Regenerate cartilage
  • Repair and regenerate tendons and ligaments
  • Repair and regenerate fractured bones
  • Repair degenerated spinal discs

Reduced Inflammation and Pain Naturally

If you have chronic pain, you may be taking anti-inflammatory medications and other medications for a long time, which have a plethora of negative side effects. But bone marrow and Super concentrated platelets – Regenexx therapies have no side effects other than the slight discomfort of the injections. Regenerative therapies do not introduce anything into your body which is not naturally present within ourselves. It uses our own bodily cells promoting self healing.

Regenerative therapy can even reduce inflammation caused by the body’s misdirected attack on its own tissues. Your Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Clinic team may recommend regenerative medicine to treat autoimmune diseases and chronic pain conditions such as:

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Sciatica
  • Lower back pain
  • Joint pain
  • Sports injuries

Healthier Tissues and Bones

Regenerative medicine, unlike traditional reactive medicine, which just heals injury, actually enhances the health of the tissues and bones it treats. Regenerative medicine helps your bones, skin, muscles, and tendons become stronger by infusing them with super-concentrated platelets and complete new cells. Regenerative medicine can aid in improving the overall functioning of the musculoskeletal system.
