Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine, sometimes referred to as biologic medicine, is the process of using a person’s own cells to generate new living, functional tissue. Regenerative medicine helps injured athletes heal quickly while avoiding surgery.
Regenerative medicine draws a patient’s own blood platelets, concentrates them to at least 4-5 times baseline, and then injects them, using ultrasound guidance, into the precise area of injury. This approach to treating sports injuries was developed in the early 1990s, though it was originally used by plastic surgeons. Since then, the technology has been refined and results have improved.
If your injury requires more progenitor cells than a typical PRP injection, then the physician may take additional progenitor cells from your body’s fat or bone marrow (where progenitor cells are created).
Accelerated Program
The Acceleration Program helps athletes achieve their maximum agility, strength, endurance, and anaerobic thresholds. Programs are custom designed for the individual based on needs and sport. Testing provided to track performance improvements.
