Joint Regeneration Therapy for Chronic Joint Pain

Frustrated with the lack of results from your conventional Joint Therapy treatments for pain?
Would you like to be free of pain naturally?
Find out about, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and ozone, stem cell-enhancing peptide injections, which are all non-surgical treatments to permanently heal and regenerate your joints.

What are Ozone Injections?

Ozone is a reactive form of oxygen that is used for enhancing the immune system, releases growth factors that stimulate damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate, and provides cells with oxygen to increase healing. Ozone on its own enhances tissue healing, dissolves scar tissue, controls inflammation, and enhances the immune system. This type of injection is effective at stimulating damaged tissue to heal optimally. Ozone injections can be combined with peptides, PRP, or stem cells.

What is PRP?

Your blood contains fundamental protein growth factors, one of which is platelets. Platelets are the first responders in the healing process when your body is injured, they signal all the body’s growth factors to begin regeneration. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative and promising approach in tissue regeneration. PRP is defined as an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and their associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a myriad of growth factors in their natural and biologically determined ratios.

PRP is thought to promote wound healing in rapid soft and hard tissue regeneration by delivering growth factors at high concentrations to the treated site. PRP’s safety and effectiveness have been established for accelerating soft and hard tissue healing in the treatment of tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, and various joint and muscle pathologies in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. PRP is administered similarly to Prolotherapy and can be used along with ozone for enhanced effectiveness.

Stem Cell Enhancing Therapy

Joint Regeneration Therapy can be enhanced with the use of stem cell-enhancing therapy. This procedure avoids complicated and potentially dangerous surgical procedures, but can also can be used in conjunction with surgery to significantly reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process. Stem cells can replicate copies of themselves and stimulate other cells to do the same. They are cells that can stimulate repair of damaged tissue and maintain health of the body. As we age, we lose the effectiveness of our own stem cells. Enhancing your own stem cells can allow your body to be fully repaired. Stem cell enhancing therapy is at the forefront of regenerative medicine, there are many positive research trials and patients with success at repairing joint injuries non-surgically.

 

Joint Regeneration Injection Therapy

Regenerative Injections are therapies that stimulate the body to repair tissues – from ligaments, tendons, cartilage, bones, muscles, skin and even organs. Regenerative injection therapies include  Ozone, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Peptides, and Stem Cells.

Tendons, ligaments, and cartilage tend to heal slowly and rarely recover to 100% of their original strength.  If you have ever sprained your ankle, you may be aware that it can quite easily be sprained again.  If left untreated over time, unstable joints may lead to increased pain, joint damage, and disability.

Typically, pain experienced within joints is due to the weakness and injury of the ligaments and tendons that stabilize the joint. Insufficient healing after injury or overuse of the joint can cause the ligaments and tendons to be weak and damaged.  Pain can also occur around the joint locally or can be in other areas (referred pain) as well.


Is Joint Regeneration Therapy Right for You?

Do you have pain or weakness associated with your joints? Does the pain limit your range of motion and/or affect your daily life? Do you occasionally have flare-ups of pain with certain actions? Do you have muscle pain, spasm, or soreness around the affected joint? Does the pain occasionally travel elsewhere in your body? Do your joints pop or click easily? If this sounds familiar, Regenerative Joint Therapy may provide benefits for you.
