At Optimum Healthcare, we offer regenerative medicine as one of our main treatments to help patients heal from injuries. This branch of medicine focuses on therapies that enhance your body’s ability to heal injuries on its own.
Regenerative medicine is very effective for acute injuries but is mostly used by patients with arthritic, degenerative joints - in particular, patients facing joint replacement surgery.
Invasive Procedures Can Cost You More Than You Think
Mainstream medical treatment leads most patients to invasive joint replacement surgery. There are more than 1 million total joint replacements performed in the United States annually [1], [2]. This number is expected to increase to nearly 4 million by 2030 [3].
Medications prescribed to help with pain only cover up symptoms, allow continued wear and tear to the joint(s), and worse, do not get to the root cause of the problem. Surgeries leave scar tissue behind which limits the mobility of a joint and prevents nutrition from getting into the joint space. This leads to deterioration of the cartilage and when the cartilage deteriorates to the level of compromising the joint space, joint replacement surgery is the inevitable next step.
When applied to joints, regenerative medicine treatments show great promise for combating the effects of osteoarthritis and helping many older patients stay active without joint pain. The reason the typical medical treatment cycle ends in invasive procedures is that medication and surgery do not help the body repair damaged tissue. They do not help build the body back up but only make it more comfortable while the joint continues to deteriorate. Fortunately, regenerative medicine is offering exciting new options for patients who prefer to accelerate the healing process and avoid invasive surgery.

Joint Replacement Surgery – Is It for Everyone?
Joint replacement surgery is an advanced medical science that helps thousands of patients get out of pain and continue to function, even after a complete joint failure. However, most patients and physicians would prefer to avoid the surgery until necessary. The procedure is extremely invasive and has high chances of complications – in particular, the risk from anesthesia, infections, and an unsuccessful outcome. Of course, some patients are too frail or have too many co-morbidities to safely have joint replacement surgery and are left with no options.

Regenerative Healthcare: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative medicine procedure that involves utilizing the liquid portion of your blood to accelerate the healing process. The procedure itself is accomplished by having tube(s) of blood collected from the patient that is spun down at a precise speed in a centrifuge that allows for the separation of the plasma from the red blood cells that concentrates them into an injection for healing. Plasma is the liquid portion of your blood that is composed of protein, water, and thrombocytes that aid in blood clotting and healing.
Regenerative Healthcare: Human Tissue Allograft Treatments
Regenerative Healthcare offers incredible advantages in the healing process by providing the body with the necessary materials required to heal, including growth factors, Hyaluronic Acid, amino acids, cytokines, etc. These therapies help boost the body’s natural healing processes to reduce inflammation, dysfunction, and pain caused by conditions such as Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, arthritis, and other soft tissue-related conditions contributing to pain.

Safe Alternative
Human tissue allograft treatments are natural and carry no chance of rejection given they are “immune privileged.” This means they have no immune cells and bear no risk to the patient. In most cases, there is also little to no downtime, and other than a few modifications, most patients go right back to their typical daily life. Regenerative medicine works great for acute and chronic conditions in any joint or associated soft tissue.
