One of the fastest-growing fields in all of healthcare is regenerative medicine, with clinics popping up across the world and doctors filling up training courses year-round. However, it’s something that still many haven’t heard about, even though literally millions of people benefit from it each year. So what exactly is regenerative medicine, and what kinds of problems can it treat? Here is our Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics quick guide:

The goal of regenerative medicine is to focus and stimulate the body’s natural healing response in order to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Rather than fixing the problem invasively (like with surgery) or just reducing the symptoms (like medication), regenerative medicine is designed to address the underlying source of a problem in the most gentle, natural, and direct way possible. This is primarily done by applying treatments designed to work with the body’s ability to repair itself.

The scope of regenerative medicine is vast, and it has been used to help patients dealing with the following issues (and many more):

• Osteoarthritis
• Headaches/Migraines
• Sprains and Strains
• Perinatal Pain
• Tendinitis
• Carpal Tunnel and Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
• Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Rotator Cuff Injury
• Back, neck, knee pain
• Nerve Entrapment

A few of the most popular regenerative medicine treatments include:.

• PRP: Platelet-rich plasma is a substance derived from a small sample of a patient’s blood that encourages accelerated healing, pain reduction, and improved function. It contains a much higher concentration of platelets and growth factors/proteins than regular blood.
• Signature Cord Allograft: This all-natural infusion of cytokines, Wharton’s jelly, and mesenchymal cells are intended to replicate normal tissue growth and accelerate the healing process. Our clinical team will then reintroduce this concentration of cells into your joints for regeneration and cells repair themselves relatively quickly while patients experience much less pain and stiffness.

This is just scratching the surface and new findings are discovered each year thanks to robust research being conducted around the globe.

 If you’re dealing with a chronic or acute injury, and you want a treatment that doesn’t involve strong medication or surgery, regenerative medicine is the holistic solution you’ve been searching for!
