What Is Regenerative Medicine? Banner

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is an innovative field of healthcare that focuses on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues. This new approach utilizes the body’s natural healing mechanisms, often enhanced by stem cells, growth factors, and specialized biological materials to restore normal function.

Advanced Wellness provides regenerative treatments through injections, depending on the specific condition being treated. We offer two main techniques — platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and stem cell therapy — to stimulate the body’s repair processes. Our regenerative procedures are relatively quick, typically lasting between 30 minutes and two hours, though this can vary depending on the specific treatment and target area.

Our Regenerative Treatments

PRP Therapy

PRP therapy uses a patient’s blood plasma with high platelet levels. These platelets contain growth factors that are instrumental in the recovery process. They are the same... substances that will heal a cut or wound. The injection of concentrated platelets into injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints can accelerate the recovery of these tissues. PRP therapy harnesses the body’s natural ability to heal. It has virtually zero side effects and is used by some of the world’s greatest professional athletes, including Tiger Woods and Rafael Nadal, to name a few.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses specialized cells to repair and restore damaged tissues. During the procedure, stem cells are harvested... from the patient's body (typically from bone marrow or fat tissue) or donated sources. These cells are then processed and concentrated before being injected into the targeted treatment area, where they can develop into different types of cells needed for healing. The therapy is commonly used to address various orthopedic conditions, joint problems, and soft tissue injuries. At Advanced Wellness, stem cell treatments are performed as outpatient procedures under local anesthesia, with the entire process usually taking a few hours to complete.

Consultation & Preparation

Consultation & Preparation Banner
Patients must undergo a thorough evaluation and consultation before receiving PRP or stem cell therapy. During the initial meeting, our healthcare provider reviews the patient’s complete medical history, current medications, and diagnostic imaging results to determine if the person can benefit from regenerative treatments. Blood tests and specific imaging studies may also be required to identify health concerns and treatment areas.
Patients taking blood-thinning medications may need to temporarily discontinue their use, typically 5-7 days before the procedure. Our healthcare team provides detailed instructions regarding dietary restrictions, which may involve avoiding some supplements. For stem cell therapy, patients might need to undergo additional screening tests to ensure they are suitable candidates and to determine the most appropriate source of stem cells for their specific condition.
