What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a growing field that uses your body’s own healing tools—like platelets and growth factors—to repair damaged tissue. It's especially effective in treating chronic orthopedic conditions where natural healing has stalled.

How It Works

Regenerative therapies enhance your body’s healing response by delivering concentrated biological agents (like platelets) directly to injured areas.
These agents promote:

• New tissue growth
• Reduced inflammation
• Improved circulation and recovery

A review published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine (2019) concluded that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shows consistent improvement in function and pain reduction in conditions like knee osteoarthritis and tendinopathies.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): A Closer Look

What Is PRP?

PRP is a concentration of your own platelets, which contain proteins and growth factors that help tissue heal. It’s derived from a simple blood draw and injected into the injured area to jumpstart your body’s repair process.

The Procedure

1. Blood Draw – About 15–30 mL of your blood is drawn.
2. Centrifuge – Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets.
3. Targeted Injection – Using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, the PRP is injected into the damaged tissue (joint, tendon, or ligament).

It’s a quick, outpatient procedure—usually under an hour—with no sedation and minimal downtime.

What Results Can You Expect?

What the Research Shows

PRP has been studied extensively over the last decade. Success rates vary depending on the condition treated, but studies consistently show strong outcomes for common orthopedic issues.
