REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

Regenerative medicine techniques like stem cell therapy, prolotherapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy are revolutionizing the treatment of chronic pain. Double board-certified physiatrist Dr. Javier Placer, MD, and his team at Florida Spine and Pain in Clermont and Orlando, Florida, have considerable expertise in using regenerative medicine to promote new, healthy tissue growth and reduce chronic pain. If you think you could benefit from this form of pain therapy, call the Specialized Rehabilitation Physicians Group today or book an appointment online.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is an effective way to promote new tissue growth when normal healing processes aren’t enough. Its effects can reduce and, in some cases, eliminate chronic pain in joints and soft tissues. Your body has specialized cells that contain growth factors. These growth factors are essential in triggering the generation of new tissue, and your body floods any injured areas with growth factors when you hurt yourself.

Most often, your body heals itself with few, if any, lasting effects. However, some types of injury can’t or won’t heal completely following your body’s first round of healing.

Regenerative medicine uses cells taken from your body or donated for the purpose. We inject concentrated solutions of these cells back into your body at the site of your pain. When they reach the target area, the cells trigger your body to start a new cycle of healing and gives the process a boost. As a result, tissues treated with regenerative therapies heal more completely.
