Regenerative Medicine
Jan 12, 2017
Regenerative Medicine is a relatively new branch of musculoskeletal medicine which uses the body’s natural healing properties in a concentrated form to address areas of pain or dysfunction.
Platelet Rich Plasma injections involve obtaining a blood sample from the patient, spinning down the blood in a centrifuge and removing the portion of the blood that contains the healing properties associated with platelets and plasma. This is being used to treat various conditions from lateral epicondylitis to newer procedures using an intra-discal approach to treat degenerative disc disease of the spine.
