Regenerative Medicine

---

Regenerative medicine is an innovative, noninvasive therapy that uses  your body’s natural self-healing properties to promote healing, repair  damaged tissues, and reduce pain. Spine & Sports Medical Group and  their team of experienced physiatrists in Campbell, California and San  Jose, California, offer platelet-rich plasma as a regenerative medicine  therapy to address a wide range of conditions. Regenerative medicine  provides the benefits of surgery without performing an invasive  procedure that might require the use of anesthesia and long recovery  periods.

Regenerative  medicine is a branch of medical treatment that focuses on using your  body’s natural properties to regrow, repair, or replace human cells,  tissues, or organs that have been damaged by injury or disease. These  therapies harness your body’s natural ability to grow tissues and organs  to help re-establish normal function and improve your health in the  long run.

The  team at Spine & Sports Medical Group specializes in platelet-rich  plasma (PRP) therapy to treat a range of musculoskeletal issues.  Platelets are the part of your blood responsible for clotting and  healing when you suffer an injury. PRP therapy uses injections of a  concentrated platelet solution to speed up your recovery from an injury  or repair cells and tissues damaged by diseases. 

At  your PRP therapy session, a Spine & Sports Medical Group team  member draws blood from your arm and runs it through a centrifuge. This  machine separates a solution of concentrated blood plasma from the other  components of your blood, like red and white blood cells.

The  platelet-rich solution is injected back into your body with a targeted  precision that delivers the serum directly into the area where you are  experiencing pain. The injection speeds up your recovery and relieves  pain by increasing the number of reparative cells your body produces and  stimulating tissue regeneration. 

Regenerative  therapies like PRP are used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal  issues, like diseases and acute injuries to your tendons, muscles,  ligaments, and more. 

Some specific conditions the practice treats with PRP include:

• Arthritic joints
  
• Rotator cuff tears
  
• Degenerative spinal conditions
  
• Tendonitis
  
• Overuse injuries
  Shoulder pain and instability
  Tennis or golfer’s elbow
  Hamstring or hip strains
  Patellofemoral syndrome
  Sprains
  

The practice performs PRP therapy in-house, and most sessions are completed within two hours.

What are the benefits of regenerative therapies like PRP over traditional surgery?
The  PRP injection procedure is a minimally invasive, highly effective  treatment that can deliver permanent results. PRP therapy has a much  shorter recovery period compared to traditional surgery.

PRP  also has the added benefit of a very low risk of adverse reactions,  since the platelet solution used in your therapy is derived from your  own blood. This reduces the risk of surgical complications relating to  anesthesia, the surgery itself, or allergies to other materials.
