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.

Sonoran Orthopaedics specializes in Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy injections, which is a form of regenerative medicine that allows the body to help heal damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles,  and arthritic joints. PRP is produced and concentrated from a person’s own blood and then injected into an injured tendon, ligament, muscle or arthritic joint to help accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, and arthritic joints.
