What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a progressive field that integrates principles of tissue engineering and biotechnology to promote healing and restore function to damaged joints and soft tissues.

These treatments are designed to accelerate the body's natural ability to heal, providing a minimally invasive approach to pain relief and tissue repair.

Regenerative medicine may be beneficial for individuals dealing with:

• Chronic joint pain and inflammation
• Recurring ligament sprains or muscle strains
• Tendinitis
• Shoulder injuries
• Elbow, wrist, or hand injuries
• Hip injuries
• Knee injuries
• Ankle or foot injuries
  

At Twin Creeks Orthopedics & Sports Injury Clinic, the team utilizes regenerative medicine as either a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches, such as prescription medications, joint injections, or surgery when necessary.

How does regenerative medicine work?

Regenerative medicine enhances the body's natural repair mechanisms by stimulating cellular healing. Various treatments within this field work by encouraging tissue regeneration, improving blood circulation, and reducing inflammation at the site of injury.

Each regenerative therapy operates differently, but collectively, they provide essential biological components that promote tissue growth and repair. This approach offers an alternative to traditional surgical procedures, such as joint replacements or ligament and tendon repairs, allowing patients to recover without the risks and extended downtime associated with surgery.

What types of regenerative medicine are offered?

At Twin Creeks Orthopedics & Sports Injury Clinic, patients have access to high-quality regenerative treatments, including:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections

PRP therapy harnesses the healing potential of your own blood platelets to accelerate tissue repair. By introducing concentrated growth factors and anti-inflammatory compounds, PRP injections support recovery, improve circulation and enhance healing at the injury site.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose (sugar and water) solution into damaged ligaments or tendons. This technique triggers the body's natural healing response, strengthening connective tissues and reducing pain over time.

Exosome injections

Exosome therapy utilizes extracellular vesicles rich in regenerative molecules to facilitate cellular communication, decrease inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. These microscopic carriers deliver essential proteins and growth factors that enhance the healing process and improve joint function.

These innovative treatments can be administered alone or in combination to maximize healing and restore mobility.
