Joint Regenerative Therapy for the Knee
As practitioners, we try to take full advantage of any time we can harness the power of natural healing. That’s a reason why the field of regenerative medicine is so exciting. It presents us with drug-free, natural treatments that can boost your body’s healing abilities and aid your recovery after an injury or surgery.
If you suffer from persistent pain due to a slow healing joint, ligament, or cartilage injury, Joint Regenerative Therapy or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an innovative, non-surgical and effective treatment for pain in joints and knees. Our practice is one of the few offices in the area that successfully employ this cutting-edge regenerative therapy.
We use your own body’s platelets and stem cells to accelerate the healing process of the damaged tissue. The stem cells help to regrow cartilage and tissue, replacing what age, injury and degeneration have destroyed.
How Does It Work?
The body’s first response to a soft tissue injury is to delivery cells that begin to heal and repair the tissue. These cells initiate repair and attract the critical assistance of other regenerative cells. Regenerative therapies help the body heal itself by delivering a highly concentrated amount of your own blood (similar to a lab test sample) and place it in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds, separating the regenerative cells from the other components.
These cells are further refined and concentrated depending on their specific use. The concentrated regenerative cells are then injected into and round the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body’s natural healing abilities. Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and a very low risk of allergic reaction.
Are You a Candidate?
If you’re experiencing knee pain and are looking for a non-surgical solution, you may be a candidate for joint regenerative therapy at NOVA Pain and Rehab Center. Our team of experts will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if this therapy is right for you. During the evaluation, we will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may use imaging studies to assess the extent of your joint condition.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
If you’re a candidate for this treatment, we’ll draw some of your blood. Then we’ll use a special machine to separate the regenerative cells from the other component in your blood. The injection will be prepared, and then our providers will precisely inject the cells into your damaged or degenerated joint.
You may experience some discomfort from the injection, which typically subsides within a few days. You’ll likely be able to resume your normal activities after the injection, although you may need to avoid strenuous exercise at first.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
Like a typical injection that is done for pain relief, regenerative therapies do not immediately relieve pain, Our goal is to heal the affected area long term. Improvement may be seen within a few weeks, and will increase as the healing progresses. Research studies and clinical practice have shown regenerative therapies, are very effective at promoting healing, relieving pain and returning patients to their normal lives.
What Will the Cost Be?
Even though regenerative cell technology has come light years in the recent past, it is still not covered by most health insurances. However, the examination for this therapy is covered by health insurances in most cases. The different price options will be discussed with you by the doctor during the exam based on the finding and what is required. Our prices for this therapy are far less than what you will receive at most other medical facilities for the same or similar treatment.
