Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PRP therapy and stem cell therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses a concentrated dose of your own platelets to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used for tendon injuries, arthritis, and soft tissue damage.
Stem cell therapy, on the other hand, uses mesenchymal stem cells to regenerate damaged tissues and is ideal for cartilage repair, joint degeneration, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Can regenerative medicine help with spine conditions like disc degeneration?
Yes! PRP and stem cell injections are effective for spinal disc degeneration, facet joint pain, and chronic back or neck pain. These treatments reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and improve spinal function without surgery.
How does laser therapy support pain relief and healing?
Laser therapy stimulates cellular repair and reduces inflammation by using targeted light energy. It helps relieve arthritis pain, muscle strains, and nerve-related pain by improving blood flow and accelerating tissue healing. This non-invasive treatment is safe, painless, and requires no downtime.
How does viscosupplementation help with knee osteoarthritis?
Viscosupplementation involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the knee joint, restoring lubrication and cushioning to reduce pain and improve mobility. This treatment benefits patients with knee osteoarthritis who haven’t responded well to medications or physical therapy.
How do I know I am a good candidate for regenerative medicine?
Ideal candidates for regenerative medicine are individuals with joint pain, arthritis, soft tissue injuries, or degenerative conditions who want to avoid surgery. If you have chronic knee, shoulder, hip, or spine pain and haven’t found relief with traditional treatments, a consultation with our board-certified regenerative medicine doctor can determine if regenerative therapy is right for you.
