What exactly is regenerative medicine?
There is a lot of hype as well as confusion about platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapies used for musculoskeletal pain. Using them at the correct point during your healing path may be beneficial, while using these therapies incorrectly can be detrimental.
Many athletes patients have reported great benefit for their knee, shoulder, elbow and back pains. I’ve also discouraged some patients from using regenerative medicine, as they were not great candidates.
I am happy to speak to you if you are considering this as a treatment option. I have done extensive research with a scientist to help you understand what we know and what we don’t know and am happy to share this information.
For those patients and health care providers that will be in San Diego in September, I will be giving a talk on this topic at the upcoming AIHM conference on 9/23/18.
