Advanced Regenerative Medicine, Medical Weight Loss, and Wellness Treatments.
Chronic disease or degenerative nerve, joint, and bone conditions can be exhausting and depressing. Pain relievers rarely succeed in healing the underlying cause of the problem. As the population ages, more people will require treatments that address the root cause of their situation rather than simply managing their pain with medication. Regenerative medicine is a promising and effective treatment option if you suffer from chronic pain in your knees, back, hips, shoulders, wrists, or other joints.
Regenerative medicine seeks to transform some medical approaches by addressing the underlying causes of injuries, diseases, and disorders. Whether the tissue or organ is damaged due to congenital defects, age, illness, or trauma, regenerative medicine works to cure by creating functional, living tissue that can substitute or repair the existing damaged tissue. Often, if treated early enough, this eliminates the need for surgery by trying to treat the tissue before the damage worsens.
Regenerative medicine aims to heal the tissue rather than just mask the pain. It is not just about treating symptoms but also restoring the body to health. This is accomplished without dangerous surgeries or addictive medications, enabling the patient to recover faster and return to total activity in as little as a few weeks.
While there are numerous regenerative methods, we concentrate on four: Ozone, Ozone Clot Matrix, Stem Cells, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF). Each of these therapies has been shown to improve the body’s ability to regenerate tissue, resulting in a healthier, better quality of life for those who suffer from chronic pain caused by muscle and joint problems.
Most of us have been using the word ozone concerning the Earth’s atmosphere, but it is less popularly known for its ability to heal and regenerate tissue. Ozone is the term used to refer to O3, a reactive form of oxygen, both in the atmosphere and in regenerative therapy. When injected, ozone helps to stimulate cellular metabolism, causing the immune system to start healing.
Ozone therapy has numerous advantages, including reduced inflammation, providing cells with oxygen to promote tissue healing, reducing the presence of scar tissue, stimulating degenerated and broken joints to regenerate, and boosting the immune system.
Ozone Clot Matrix therapy combines ozone therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Platelet-rich plasma therapy treats joint and muscle conditions by regenerating tissue using the body’s healing mechanisms. It accomplishes this by leveraging platelets’ role in the body’s natural healing response. Platelets are most well-known for their critical role in blood clotting.
They do, however, contain proteins known as growth factors. When a person is injured, platelets alert the body, and these growth factors initiate the regeneration and healing process. PRP treatment entails injecting plasma with a high concentration of platelets into the injection site to stimulate the natural regeneration process. PRP is variable and can affect for about 24 hours after injection.
Ozone Clot Matrix (OCM) is a PRP supplement that combines whole blood with activated platelets and ozone gas. This allowed for a greater capture rate of platelets and oxygen-rich red blood cells and stimulated white blood cells, which aid in the cleanup of damaged tissue.
This highly concentrated mixture forms a matrix that allows the platelet-rich combination to stimulate healing at the injection site for up to two weeks. Compared to traditional PRP therapy, the treatment’s rate of regeneration and effectiveness is significantly increased because the OCM is involved for two weeks rather than 24 hours.
Stem cells are the body’s raw materials, giving rise to all other cells with specialized functions. Under the right conditions, stem cells divide to form more daughter cells in the body or a laboratory. These daughter cells either differentiate into new stem cells or become specialized cells with a more particular function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells, or bone cells. No other cell in the body can naturally generate new cell types.
MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) are found in bone marrow, adipose (fat) tissue, and amniotic membrane tissue. MSCs can develop into muscle, tendon, cartilage, ligament, bone, fat, or other structural cells. These cells have a high capacity for self-renewal while rejuvenating, renewing, and repairing a wide range of tissues damaged by age or injury.
Furthermore, when injected into an injured site, MSCs derived from bone marrow, adipose, and amnion tissues appear to have a more significant stimulating effect on generating new and healthy stem cells, encouraging the body to heal. All of this is accomplished without invasive surgery and with shorter healing times.
When combined with OCM, the integration with stem cells has a synergistic effect, resulting in a faster healing and recovery experience.
PEMF works in much the same way that its name implies. This therapy, which uses low-level electromagnetic radiation pulses to heal injured tissue and bone, can relieve pain without the use of medication. It is a non-invasive, refreshing approach to treating chronic pain, injuries, and other chronic conditions, but how does it work?
Doctors use pads, paddles, or rings to emit electromagnetic pulses of energy that pass through the skin and deeply penetrate tendons, bones, muscles, and organs. These pulses activate the cell’s energy, discovered in the mitochondria, and boost the cell’s naturally occurring repair mechanisms. When the cell replicates, its pulse and energy boost allows it to produce a healthier cell.
PEMF works on a cellular level and is efficient on many tissue types. As a result, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy can be used to treat a single problem, such as a pulled muscle, or it can be used to treat chronic pain or even rejuvenate entire body systems.
The resources for regenerative medicine exist in our bodies, which is why so much research is being devoted to it. Consider this: regenerative cells from your body from a simple embryo continue to assist your body in healing and repairing itself once you’re fully started. We work with your body to make it better and healthier by utilizing these all-natural, potent resources.
While we’ve come a long way in human body repair, there has been some collateral damage. Invasive solutions, such as surgery, may help restore your body’s function, but the road ahead is rocky and sometimes causes additional damage, making healing a long road.
Because we frequently use autologous resources, regenerative medicine is proven beneficial in repairing damaged tissues. This means that the “medicine” comes from your body, which readily accepts treatments.
With PRP therapy, for example, we collect and isolate your platelets. The same can be said for stem cell therapy and Lipogems treatments derived from your cells.
We’ve mentioned that research into the efficacy of regenerative medicine is ongoing, but preliminary findings, along with our perspectives, have been nothing short of encouraging.
Consider knee osteoarthritis, which affects billions of dollars of people in the United States. One study of 78 participants found that the initial two groups had significant changes within weeks and at the six-month follow-up, with one-third receiving one PRP injection, another third receiving two PRP injections, and the final third receiving a saline injection.
The ease of treatment rounds out our list of regenerative medicine benefits. You’ve likely been starting to struggle with pain or discomfort, and we desire the road forward to be as comfortable as possible. We use a minimally invasive approach (nothing more than a needle) with regenerative medicine to get you back to pain-free movement as quickly and comfortably as possible.
