Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a minimally-invasive procedure that promotes the body’s natural repair process in response to injury. While platelets are most commonly known for their blood clotting properties, they are also natural sources of growth factors, proteins, and other products that can help kick-start the body’s repair process in degenerative or injured tissue. PRP uses your own concentrated platelets and growth factors to stimulate and enhance the body’s own healing response to treat acute injury, inflammation, or chronic degenerative disease. PRP therapy is a great option for those who want to treat the source of their pain rather than purely mask the symptoms. Those with chronic joint or back pain may be candidates for PRP therapy. Soft tissue injuries (i.e. to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons) are most responsive to PRP treatment.

Bone marrow concentrate therapy is a procedure in which bone marrow concentrate is implanted into damaged or diseased tissue to promote regeneration and repair. Bone marrow concentrate consists of undifferentiated cells in the human body with the ability to mature into various cell types such as blood cells, cartilage cells, and repair cells. The bone marrow concentrate (which contains stem cells) can be manipulated to differentiate specifically into bone or cartilage cells. They also promote the regeneration of native bone cells. We use same-day procedures and autologous bone marrow samples, meaning that the bone marrow sample is from the patient’s own body. On the day of the procedure, we take a bone marrow sample from the patient’s hip, concentrate the sample, and re-inject the concentrate into the damaged area along with growth factors and healing factors from the patient’s blood to aid in the body’s natural healing process. Improvements following procedures should become apparent within 1-3 months, but please note that it may take as long as 6-9 months.

With their ability to fluidly deliver information to cells, exosomes have the potential to influence the healing process of a damaged cell.  Exosomes for therapy are derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells, which include growth factors and microRNA, catalyze tissue regeneration and support the modulation of immunity in cells.

Placental Matrix is a procedure that administers Extracellular Matrix (ECM) derived from a placental source as a replacement for damaged or missing connective tissue. The ECM is the interconnected system of Collagens, Growth Factors, and Bioactive molecules that provides the structural foundation for our body’s tissues and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.
