Regenerative Medicine
Repair Your Body From The Inside Out
Regenerative medicine is an exciting field that is rapidly advancing. From growing entire organs in laboratories to developing gene therapies, scientists continue to find new ways to use the body’s healing processes to treat conditions that were previously considered untreatable. Rather than addressing the symptoms, this form of medicine targets the underlying causes of injuries and diseases for long-lasting results. Using the body’s natural processes usually results in fewer side effects as regenerative medicine works with your body. As a minimally invasive option, it can be performed as an outpatient procedure with less downtime than surgical alternatives.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?
This type of medicine replaces or repairs damaged cells and tissues in the human body to restore function in the body. Unlike traditional medicine, which often treats the symptoms, regenerative medicine works by treating the root causes of disease and injuries. This advanced medicine uses the body’s own healing mechanisms to enhance its function. Essentially, regenerative medicine works like a “reset button” to help the body rebuild and repair itself from the inside out.
How Does Regenerative Medicine Work?
Regenerative medicine is based on the human body’s natural healing response. For instance, when you cut your finger, your body grows new skin cells to repair the small injury. Similarly, scientists use regenerative medicine to boost this healing response on a wider scale. From mending a larger injury to regenerating cells, this type of medicine may help treat serious conditions that the body cannot heal by itself.
Regenerative Medicine Types
Stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma are advanced forms of regenerative medicine that utilize your body’s healing process to accelerate healing. From easing symptoms of arthritis to rejuvenating the skin, see what these treatments can do:
Stem Cell Therapy
This type of treatment uses stem cells, which can become many different cells in your body. Often called master cells due to this unique ability, stem cells can become muscle cells, bone cells, or nerve cells. During stem cell therapy, a doctor harvests stem cells from different parts of the body like bone marrow, fat tissue, or umbilical cord blood. Then, the stem cells are injected into damaged tissues where they can develop into specific cells, regenerate, and help repair the body. For example, stem cells injected into the knee can help repair arthritis, cartilage injuries, and other conditions in this area.
What it treats:
- Joint injuries and arthritis
- Heart disease
- Certain blood disorders
- Spinal cord injuries
- Some autoimmune conditions
- Bone and cartilage damage
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, or PRP therapy, processes your blood to concentrate platelets, which are tiny cells that help with blood clotting and healing. This concentration of cells contains growth factors that can accelerate the body’s healing process. A small amount of your blood is drawn and placed in a machine called a centrifuge. This machine spins your blood at a high speed to separate and concentrate the platelets. Then, the platelets get injected into the injured area to boost your recovery process.
What it treats:
- Sports injuries (tennis elbow, knee injuries, etc.)
- Hair loss
- Skin rejuvenation
- Wound healing
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Osteoarthritis
What to Expect During A Regenerative Wellness Treatment
As with any treatment, results can vary from person to person, especially as regenerative medicine continues to evolve. Some people may see improvements within weeks, while others notice changes after several months. Your results depend on many factors, including the severity of the condition being treated, your overall health, and your body’s response to treatment. When you work with a qualified healthcare provider, you’ll learn the realistic outcomes you might expect from regenerative medicine and find out if it’s an appropriate treatment for you.

Regenerative Medicine FAQs
What Conditions Can Regenerative Medicine Treat?
Regenerative medicine can treat a wide range of conditions using the body’s natural healing processes to help repair itself. This form of medicine may help treat musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, cardiovascular diseases, chronic pain, and autoimmune diseases. If you have a specific condition you’d like to treat with regenerative medicine, contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation at Total Spine Institute.
Are Stem Cell Therapy and PRP Therapy Safe?
Yes. When performed by experienced providers, these treatments are considered safe, and using your cells from your body often leads to fewer side effects. While every form of medicine carries some risk, stem cell therapy and PRP therapy are less risky than surgery. Common side effects may include bleeding, infection, and nerve damage. However, seeing a qualified provider minimizes these risks.
Is There a Long Recovery From Stem Cell Therapy and PRP Therapy?
Your recovery timeline will depend on which treatment you choose. Generally, patients who undergo PRP therapy can return to normal activities within a few days or weeks. With stem cell therapy, you may need to take it easy for several weeks. Full recovery may take a few months.
