Is Regenerative Medicine right for you?
Our patients choose regenerative medicine because it offers the potential to repair damaged tissues, reduce pain, and promote faster healing without the need for surgery. It can be especially appealing for those with conditions like arthritis, joint injuries, or degenerative diseases, as it targets the root cause of the problem rather than just managing symptoms. Regenerative treatments, such as celluar therapy and/or PRP, can improve recovery times, avoid long-term medication use, and help restore function and mobility. Overall, it provides a personalized, cutting-edge approach to healing and offers hope for those seeking alternatives to traditional treatments.
- What to Expect During Treatments
- The majority of our services are performed in a medical office and typically take 30-60 mins.
- What to Expect During Treatments when combined with PRP therapy
- The procedure involves:
- • A blood draw, which usually takes less than 10 minutes.
- • The preparation of the PRP, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
- What to Expect After Treatment
- • Pain and Swelling: For a few days, you may experience some soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
- • Initial Relief: Some patients feel improvement in pain and mobility within a few days or weeks, while others may need several weeks to notice significant changes.
- • Follow-Up: Depending on the severity of your condition, you may require additional treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
- Potential Side Effects and Risks
- PRP therapy is generally safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks:
- • Injection Site Pain: Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
- • Infection: Although rare, there’s a small risk of infection at the injection site.
- • No Immediate Improvement: In some cases, the full benefits of PRP therapy may not be apparent right away.
- When Will I See the Results?
