Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine uses healthy human cells, to restore normal function in the body
Two of the most common procedures that fall under the umbrella of regenerative medicine is MSCS therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.
What Is PRP Therapy?
​
Platelets and MSCS are key factors important in wound healing. Platelets are found in our circulating blood in small numbers. Techniques used to concentrate platelets drawn from your own blood supply, unlock the healing power of platelets to relieve pain and stop inflammation for many musculoskeletal disorders and sports injuries. Platelet-derived growth factors are biologically active substances that enhance tissue repair. Activated platelets at a wound site release proteins that directly and indirectly influence all aspects of the wound healing cascade.
What Conditions Benefit From PRP?
PRP treatment works best for chronic ligament and tendon sprains/strains that have failed other conservative treatment (physical therapy, rest, medications), including:
​
-
Rotator cuff injuries, including partial-thickness and full-thickness tears
-
Tennis & golfer’s elbow
-
Hamstring and hip strains
-
Knee sprains and instability
-
Patellofemoral syndrome and patellar tendinosis
-
Ankle sprains
-
Achilles tendinosis & plantar fasciitis
-
Sports hernias & athletic pubalgia
-
Knee, hip, and other joint osteoarthritis
What Is MSCS Therapy?
MSCS are cells that are gathered by aspirating bone marrow from the back of a patient’s pelvis. One can expect only minimal discomfort from the procedure. The aspirate includes platelets, MSCS, and other cells used in adult MSCS therapy. The bone marrow is placed inside a special machine and this process separates the platelets and cells from the remainder of the blood products. It is this concentration of bone marrow—called BMAC, or bone marrow aspiration concentrate—that is reintroduced to the injured area during stem cell therapy.

What conditions may benefit from MSCS Therapy?
Injections are most commonly used for the treatment of conditions that have failed or responded incompletely to other more conservative treatments. Conditions include, but are not limited to:
​
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Chronic partial Rotator Cuff Tears
-
Persistent partial tendon tears, such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, quadriceps and patellar tendon tears.
-
Partial muscle tears
-
Meniscal (cartilage) tears in the knee
