What is Regenerative Medicine?
You may not have realized how far regenerative medicine has come since its origination. Blood transfusions, bone and skin grafts, and organ transplants are a few of the regenerative medicine therapies used in modern medicine – and it doesn’t stop there. Platelet-rich plasma therapy, stem cell therapy, and A2M therapy are now becoming popular for their tremendous capability to treat sources of pain and limited function.
Regenerative medicine therapies are different than treatment with drugs. Drugs temporarily treat the symptoms of an illness, and you have to take drugs continuously for relief. Regenerative medicine treats the underlying cause of the problem, and it isn’t a treatment you need every day. In fact, regenerative medicine involves several sessions of treatment spaced weeks apart, followed by occasional sessions for continued relief. As a result of its effectiveness, regenerative medicine therapies can help reduce patients’ dependence on drugs.
One benefit for regenerative medicine is its ability to effectively treat orthopedic conditions and injuries. The Institute of Regenerative Sports Medicine uses such therapies to provide high-quality care for patients who’ve suffered orthopedic injuries or have chronic pain due to unresolved damage.
While the human body has a tremendous ability to heal injuries and damage on its own, there are many instances when this isn’t possible. Some people suffer from pain from old injuries that simply didn’t heal completely. Others want to heal faster and better when an injury occurs, such as athletes. Finally, many people suffer from chronic conditions, like arthritis, which continuously compromises the health of joints and can lead to surgery if not managed well.
This is where regenerative medicine therapies come into play. Using regenerative medicine, you can heal injuries faster and better or mitigate the damage of chronic conditions like arthritis.
Some regenerative medicine therapies can prevent or repair the loss of cartilage in the damaged or worn out joint. These treatments can help with healing and may prevent the onset of arthritis and many joint problems, too.
Let’s look at some of the regenerative medicine therapies provided at the Institute of Regenerative Sports Medicine.
