Regenerative Medicine

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE is defined as “A branch of medicine concerned with developing therapies that regenerate or replace injured, diseased, or defective cells, tissues, or organs to restore or establish function and structure.”  Amniotic membrane particulate, a commonly utilized regenerative medicine product, “Consists of collagen, specialized proteins and essential, active, healing growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).  The amniotic membrane is the tissue closest to the baby throughout development in the womb.  It helps protect the baby from any harm and it has natural therapeutic actions which help the baby develop.  This tissue has healing properties…”  “The biologically active cells include stem cells, which function to regenerate new cellular materials within the lining of the membrane.” Wound healing properties include, “…essential growth factors, increases and enhances the wound healing process, is non-immunogenic (will not be seen as foreign material), provides a matrix for migration and proliferation of cells, reduces inflammation and reduces scar tissue formation.”

Unfortunately, CHRONIC PAIN (pain that lasts for three months or more) is typically treated with risky surgery and harmful or dangerous medications that often include opioids, corticosteroids and NSAID’s.  These medications have their place in modern medicine, but are not ideal to continue to utilize for extended periods.  Long-term side effects include ulcers, bleeding, osteoperosis (bone density loss), increased risk of heart disease, slower healing of wounds, weight gain, insomnia, mood changes, elevated blood sugar, elevated blood pressure, increased risk of heart failure, gastrointestinal damage, higher risk of renal failure, liver problems, ect…

If conservative care has failed and you have chronic pain, you should consider the opportunities REGENERATIVE MEDICINE has to offer.  Many people and healthcare providers believe it is the future of chronic pain care and treatment, utilizing the bodies natural growth and healing properties.  Consider the options, potentially harmful and dangerous medications versus risky pain procedures versus risky surgical procedures versus natural Regenerative Medicine products that stimulate and encourage new tissue growth and better healing properties without all the dangerous risks associated with medications, pain procedures and surgery.  Additional GOOD NEWS associated with REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, there is no “down time” associated with the treatment, typically you can continue with your regular activities of daily living and need not experience the frustrating “down time” that often accompanies pain procedures and operative intervention…!  

You can choose to REGENERATE, continue to Medicate or take the risk and Operate…!  We feel the obvious choice is clear, choose safe and natural Regenerative Medicine for you and you loved ones…!!
