Regenerative medicine technologies are relatively new forms of treatment designed to enhance your bodys ability to heal itself. These treatments use natural substances that modify your natural healing mechanisms to help joints, tendons and ligaments heal and repair themselves.

There are three branches of regenerative medicine: Rejuvenation, Replacements, and Regeneration.

There are 3 types of regenerative medicine offered at our centers, including:

PRP is a mixture of growth factors and other proteins found in the platelets of your own blood. These platelets migrate to areas of injury in the body and initiate and enhance a healing response. PRP treatments utilize a technology where we draw your own blood, concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and inject them back into the body at sites of injury or degeneration. These proteins enhance the activity of the healing mechanisms and decrease the mediators of inflammation to help make a patient feel better and heal the injury.Download more information

Cell-based therapy is a mixture of growth factors, proteins and mesenchymal stem cells that are found naturally in the body. These substances can be harvested from either your fat or bone marrow and injected into areas of injury or degeneration to enhance healing and ongoing repair. These mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to differentiate into other types of cells and continue to help your healing over the long term. Download more information

Amniotic products use either fluid or tissue to protect, cushion and reduce inflammation in joints and tendons. Amniotic tissue contains bioactive proteins harvested from healthy voluntary donors and therefore allows this procedure to be minimally invasive. Download more information

I am a 52-year-old physician and CrossFit athlete. Dr. Arthur Valadie surgically repaired my left knee 12 years ago. The outcome was excellent. Recently, he injected stem cells in the same knee. My knee feels fantastic and there is no exercise I cant perform!

After two years of shoulder pain, Dr. Valadie offered the Lipogems stem cell therapy as an alternative to conventional rotator cuff surgery. I am now 90+ days removed from the procedure and honestly amazed with the result. Im 80% back to my pre-injury condition. I cannot recommend Dr. Valadie, his team and this procedure highly enough. Simply incredible. Thank you!

I have suffered with osteoarthritis for three years in my right knee. After having the stem cell replacement procedure in November 2017, I have less pain and inflammation in the knee. I have much more ease with daily activities and continue to see improvement. The procedure was simple and painless. There was some discomfort after, but only within the first 24 hours.

PRP treatments are most effective for chronic ligament and tendon sprains and strains, that have failed other forms of treatments. Some of the treatments that can benefit from PRP include:

In addition to the list above PRP can also be effective in osteoarthritis cases, by stimulating the healing process of the cartilage, which reduces the pain. The areas that can benefit from PRP include:

First, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient. Preparation of the solutions can take 25-30 minutes. Once the blood is drawn, it is placed in a machine called a centrifuge, that spins the blood at a high speed. This machine helps separate the blood into red blood cells and concentrated platelets. Once the blood is separated from the platelets, the blood is discarded and what remains is a concentrated platelet-rich plasma, known as PRP.

A stem cell is a cell with the unique ability to develop into specialized cell types in the body. They may be used to help your body heal tissues that have been damaged due to injury or degeneration.

These cells can be harvested from adipose tissue (body fat) or bone marrow with a relatively minor procedure. This is done under local anesthetic to minimize the pain of harvesting. Discomfort from the harvest is usually relatively mild.

Mesenchymal stem cell injections help the body heal itself. The cells can turn into cell types appropriate for the body part which can then help aid in the healing process. These injections are significantly less invasive than surgery and can shorten recovery time and diminish the risks compared to traditional treatments.

There are four types of Cell-Based Therapy that use the latest biological drugs with anti-inflammation agents and steroids, used for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The goal for these four therapies is to cure IBD, cell-based therapies offer hope to patients when traditional treatments have failed.

This type of injection is a minimally-manipulated injectable allograft designed to reduce inflammation as well as to protect, cushion, and lubricate joints and tendons.

While a baby is in the womb, it is situated within the amniotic sac. Inside the sac, the baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is gathered by a relatively easy, minimally invasive procedure from a willing donor, that is neither harmful to the mother or baby.

These injections can counteract inflammation and the harmful proteins that can cause joint pain. This diminished inflammation as well as lubrication can decrease pain and improve function.

We are in the pioneering days of regenerative medicine. Compared to other traditional medical treatments, regenerative medicine treatments have fewer clinical studies because of the relatively recent development of these technologies. We use and follow all available clinical studies regarding these treatments, so we can provide evidence-based ethical regenerative medicine treatments. These treatments are provided by board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons and spine/pain management physicians.

No, insurance does not cover regenerative medicine treatments as it is a relatively new field of medicine. Fortunately, there are many pricing options depending on the treatment you choose.

These are non-surgical treatments. Depending on the mode of treatment, tissue can be obtained either from a healthy donor, a simple blood draw, or a slightly more invasive procedure to obtain mesenchymal stem cells depending on the treatment you choose.

While the complete healing process can take several months, the downtime after the procedure is extremely minimal compared to that of surgery recovery.
