Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine is an emerging field of study in Orthopedics. Our doctors are committed to staying abreast of advancements in the field to augment the body’s natural healing process and reduce the necessity for surgery or to aid in surgical healing.

Our surgeons can discuss non-surgical alternatives to manage pain and/or speed healing, such as stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma therapy, gene transfer, and tissue engineering.

Arthritic joints may benefit from Visco Supplementation – a fluid therapy that augments the naturally occurring hyaluronate fluid in the joint with a solution made of highly purified sodium hyaluronate.

In Platelet Rich Plasma Injections, a patients blood is sent through a centrifuge and re-injected into the injured area, releasing growth factors that promote natural tissue healing. In Stem Cell therapy, damaged cells are replaced with healthy stem cells to aid in the body’s natural healing process.
