REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Regenerative Medicine. which includes Stem Cell Therapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy is “supercharged healing”. It’s harnessing and concentrating the body’s own naturally occurring components and unleashing them to repair, renew and replace damaged or injured cells, organs, muscle, nerve and bone.
WHAT’S STEM CELL THERAPY
Stem cells can develop into cardiac muscle, as well as liver, brain, nerve, pancreas arteries, kidneys, lungs, GI fat and skin tissue. Stem cells can help ameliorate autoimmune disease. Preventive use in younger patients, injections once or twice a year, can help maintain optimum quality of life as aging occurs. Our body’s stem cells have the potential to heal damaged tissue, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone while decreasing downtime and avoiding painful rehab. Studies worldwide have shown encouraging results. Stem cells are being used to treat:
