Stem Cell Injections
Stem cells are the body’s master cells that have the unique ability to develop into many different types of cells. When injected into an injured or arthritic joint, stem cells can promote healing by:
- Reducing inflammation
- Stimulating new cartilage growth
- Creating new tendon and ligament tissue
- Releasing healing proteins
Stem cell therapy is an outpatient procedure that delivers concentrated stem cells directly into the damaged joint. Many patients experience: Decreased joint pain & stiffness, Stimulating new cartilage growth, Faster recovery from injury or arthritis flare-ups. This cutting-edge treatment is showing great promise for those suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, torn ligaments/tendons, and other joint conditions.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)Injections
Platelet-rich plasma is derived from your own blood that has been processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. Platelets play a key role in clotting blood, but also contain proteins that promote healing of injured tissues.When injected into an arthritic or injured joint, the concentrated platelets release growth factors that can:
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Stimulate the formation of new cartilage
- Increase production of natural joint lubrication
- Alter pain receptors to diminish pain sensation
