Regenerative Therapy for Joint Pain
Among the newest non-surgical treatment options for joint pain, regenerative therapy uses immune-privileged amniotic cells to help the injured or arthritic joint heal.
“We are now using regenerative therapy as an alternative to surgery for those dealing with a wide range of degenerative conditions and injuries who have not had adequate response to traditional treatments,” said Amit Patel, MD. “Regenerative therapies have the capacity of differentiating into a variety of soft tissues. Using advanced imaging guidance, we can now introduce a regenerative tissue matrix to the exact area in need of repair.”
Among the conditions targeted for regenerative therapy are:
- Cartilage defects
- Degenerative disc disease
- Nerve damage
- Ligament injuries
- Muscle and tendon tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Sacroliac joint pain
- Soft tissue injuries
- Tendinitis (elbow/rotator cuff/Achilles)
The treatment, which includes a series of injections, has shown promise in providing initial reduction in pain followed by a steady continued improvement.
