Regenerative Medicine Today

Regenerative medicine today.   At Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA we have been offering regenerative medicine treatments for Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson for decades.   No doubt there are more regenerative options available now than in the past however restoring body function and tissue repair has been a long term philosophy for us.  Prolotherapy is a technique where natural compounds are injected into injured tissue such as tendon and ligament with the intent of attracting your body’s own growth factors to the area.  PRP (platelet rich plasma) is another option.  It this instance growth factors are concentrated from your own blood and then put ort into the injured area.  Structural support cell therapy is the most powerful form of regenerative medicine.  Adipose (fat) cells from your own body are harvested and then place into joints with the goal of reducing pain through enhanced structural support.  Alternatively, amnion derived nanoparticles are introduced into damaged structures such as joints with the goal of helping to heal injured tissue.  There are plenty of options and associated techniques that have made regenerative medicine a reality today.   Learn more about your options at piedmontpmr.com.
