Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that utilizes the body’s natural healing mechanism to treat various conditions. Stem cells are being used in regenerative medicine to renew and repair diseased or damaged tissues, and have shown promising results in treatments of various orthopedic, cardiovascular, neuromuscular and autoimmune conditions.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection
Our blood consists of a liquid component known as plasma. It also consists of three main solid components which include the red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. Platelets play an important role in forming blood clots. They also consist of special proteins, known as growth factors, which help with our body’s healing process. Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a high concentration of platelets and plasma.
Orthobiologics for the Knee
Orthobiologics are natural substances such as cells, tissue, blood components, and growth factors that are used to aid in the treatment of orthopedic injuries or conditions. They may be used to replace lost tissue, stimulate regeneration, accelerate healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve joint function.
Embryonic Stem Cell Injections
Embryonic stem cell injections are a form of regenerative medicine. Embryonic stem cells can be injected, implanted, or transplanted into a person to repair dysfunctional, diseased, or injured tissue. The cells can be manipulated to develop into distinct types of cells, such as blood cells, nerve cells, or heart muscle cells.
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells
Umbilical cord blood is a rich source of stem cells from which other cells with distinct functions are generated. Umbilical cord stem cells can be used to treat diseases of the immune system and blood as well as for research purposes.
