Good Candidates for Regenerative Therapy Injections

You have probably heard of stem cell injections and platelet rich plasma or PRP therapy and how effective they are in healing injured and/or damaged tissues in the body, resulting in lasting pain relief. They are also the safest pain treatments.

Regenerative therapies focus on stimulating the body’s natural healing ability to repair and regenerate tissues. Once natural regeneration occurs, the root cause of the pain is addressed and the patient experienced relief and an improved quality of life.

If you are suffering from chronic pain and wondering whether regenerative injections are the right treatments for you, read on.

Good Candidates for Regenerative Medicine Therapies

Good Candidates for Regenerative Injection Therapies are active individuals who have –

• healthy body composition with right proportion of muscle, fat and bone
• diet includes enough protein
• balanced hormone levels and gut function
• do not smoke
• do not consume too much alcohol
• do not suffer from a systemic infection, an autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia or a centralized pain syndrome

Types of regenerative medicine

There are two main types of regenerative therapy that has proven extremely effective in treating chronic pain –

• Stem Cell Therapy – Stem cell therapy uses stem cells, which can differentiate, or turn into other types of cells.
• Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy – PRP therapy uses platelets and growth factors found in the person’s own blood. The platelets and growth factors stimulate wound healing, and promotion of new soft tissue growth.

Regenerative medicine for chronic pain

Chronic pain is often the result of degeneration or injury. While most pain treatments focus on symptomatic relief, regenerative therapies work on the underlying cause of pain. Conditions that can benefit with regenerative therapies include –

• Cervical and / or lumbar radiculopathy
• Compression fracture
• Degenerative disc disease
• Herniated disc
• Sciatica
• Osteoarthritis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Failed back surgery
• Injuries, such as torn ligaments or muscles

Compared to other pain treatments, regenerative medicine therapies have extremely low risk of side effects. Most regenerative medicine treatments utilize cells derived from the person’s own body. This eliminates and risk of infection or rejection.

However, each individual is unique. Your pain management doctor is the best person to determine whether you would benefit from stem cell and PRP therapy. Various factors, such as your diet, muscle-fat-bone proportions, your hormonal levels and overall health, have a significant impact on the outcome of your treatment.
