Regenerative Medicine

The Advanced Relief Institute is home to a series of next-generational regenerative treatment options, giving you the ability to find an end to chronic pain.

Exosome Therapy (EC-Matrix) Platelet Rich Plasma Stem Cell Therapy

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Chronic pain is an incredibly frustrating experience, limiting your physical mobility and keeping you from freely participating in the things you enjoy most in life. Regenerative medicine represents a cutting-edge approach to healing and pain management, focusing on repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and organs. This field encompasses a range of treatments, including stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and exosome therapy. These therapies aim to harness the body’s own healing mechanisms to treat various conditions, from orthopedic injuries and chronic pain to degenerative diseases.

How Regenerative Medicine Treatments Are Performed

Regenerative medicine treatments vary based on the type but generally involve collecting the regenerative material (such as blood for PRP or stem cells from bone marrow/adipose tissue) and processing it to concentrate the healing components. The concentrated solution is then injected into the affected area, guided by imaging technology like ultrasound or fluoroscopy to ensure precise placement. The procedures are minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia, and usually take less than an hour.

The primary goal of regenerative medicine is therapeutic, aiming to restore function and relieve pain by promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue. Additionally, these treatments can offer diagnostic insights by identifying areas of damage or degeneration that respond to regenerative processes, further guiding treatment plans.

Our Treatment Options

The Advanced Relief Institute offers a range of regenerative treatment options at our convenient locations, making relief from chronic pain and injuries accessible to as many patients as possible.

Exosome Therapy (EC-Matrix)

Exosome therapy, or EC-Matrix, is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that utilizes exosomes—tiny, extracellular vesicles—to promote cellular repair and rejuvenation. Exosomes are rich in growth factors and signaling molecules that facilitate cell communication, triggering the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy is particularly effective in treating joint pain. By delivering these potent bioactive molecules directly to the target area, Exosome therapy can enhance tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery, offering a minimally invasive solution for those seeking advanced regenerative care.

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities by using a concentrated solution of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote cell regeneration. PRP is commonly used in treating musculoskeletal injuries, such as tendonitis and ligament damage. The minimally invasive nature of PRP therapy makes it a popular choice for patients seeking to enhance healing and achieve long-lasting, natural results.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is an innovative treatment that uses the body’s own stem cells to repair damaged tissues and promote healing. Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, making them ideal for regenerating tissues in conditions like arthritis, spinal cord injuries, and degenerative diseases. This therapy involves harvesting stem cells, often from the patient’s bone marrow or fat tissue, and injecting them into the affected area to stimulate repair and reduce inflammation. Stem cell therapy offers a powerful, non-surgical solution for patients seeking to restore function and improve their quality of life.

Pre-Op and Post-Op Instructions

Before Your Procedure

Ensure transportation arrangements post-procedure, as you may experience temporary discomfort or swelling.
Discuss your full medical history and current medications with your physician, especially if you’re taking blood thinners.
Follow any fasting or preparation instructions provided by your healthcare provider specific to the type of regenerative treatment you’ll be receiving.
Inform your doctor of any recent illnesses or infections.

After Your Procedure

Plan for a period of rest immediately following the procedure, avoiding strenuous activities to allow the treatment area to heal.
Apply ice if advised by your physician to manage minor swelling or discomfort at the injection site.
Monitor for signs of infection or adverse reactions and promptly report any concerns to your healthcare provider.
Follow-up appointments are essential to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and to monitor the healing process.

Next Steps After Regenerative Medicine Treatments

The response to regenerative medicine treatments can vary. Some patients may experience improvement within weeks, while others may see gradual improvement over months. If initial treatments provide partial relief or indicate potential for further improvement, additional sessions may be recommended. Complementary therapies, such as physical therapy or lifestyle modifications, may also be advised to support and enhance the healing process.
