There are many options for tissue engineering for relief and prevention for osteoarthritis.  At Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA in Greenville, South Carolina we offer both autologous (from your own body) and placental derived treatment options.   In the autologous category choices include bone marrow and mesenchymal (fat) derived.  In our clinic we primarily make use of  fat cells from your own body to provide structural support when employing this options. While using autologous cells requires minor surgery, the use of amnion, or placental derived products does not.   The results can be quicker with autologous structural support cell therapy compared to placental products but placental derived products are much easier to apply as no surgery is required.    Amnion, or placental derived products can cost less too.   Structural support cell therapy and amnion nanoparticle products are only two of many different regenerative medicine approaches that can help your pain.  Learn more about other options such as PRP and prolotherapy  at piedmontpmr.com and discover that there are still many options available for the treatment and prevention for osteoarthritis, right here in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and surrounding areas.
