Regenerative Orthopedics in CT
Regenerative Orthopedics employs injections of the patient’s own human growth factors and adult stem cells to create an environment in which the body’s damaged tissues can re-grow and repair themselves without invasive surgery. As opposed to surgery or drug therapy, Regenerative Orthopedics mobilizes the human body’s repair mechanism to heal degenerated or damaged tissue.
Regenerative Orthopedics consists of nonsurgical injection therapy to treat common work or sports injuries, including degenerative joint problems, or just “wear and tear” injuries to tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and discs that result in acute or chronic pain, as well as compromised athletic performance.
Regenerative orthopedic injections reverse pro-inflammatory, destructive processes within a joint or spinal disc. Whereas traditional orthopedic medicine and pain management use surgery and steroid injections to treat damaged tissue regenerative orthopedic medicine uses cellular technology and the body’s own ability to heal itself, stimulating healthy tissue to flourish and reduce symptoms.
Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is often the nonsurgical treatment of choice to help patients heal and repair many musculoskeletal (orthopedic) injuries including joint, tendon, ligament, and muscular injuries.
In addition to our Interventional Pain Management Physician Specialists, our Orthopedic Surgeons have expertise in the growing area of Regenerative Medicine, and care for their patients and their families with the latest PRP and stem cell injection treatments.
