These therapies offer a treatment to heal worn and damaged joins without surgery or long healing times. What is remarkable about them is that they harness and magnify the body's own natural healing powers. How do they do that?

Stem cells are special cells that can develop into any kind of cell and to repair damaged tissues. As well, they can produce growth factors and other healing compounds that further promote regeneration of worn or damaged tissues. In my clinic, I inject into damaged joints a liquid taken from umbilical cord tissue, that contains stem cells. These are the same stem cells that create a baby, so they are powerful and youthful. The injections go to the exact place that the joint is damged because I use ultrasound to see exactly where to place the needle.

Platelet-rich plasma is made by taking a blood sample from your own body and concentrating the platelets, one of the components of your blood. Platelets are involved in the healing process, and therefore contain rich concentrations of multiple types of growth factors and other natural promoters of healing. When these are applied to a joint, their potent healing powers are concentrated to provide effective releif from the cause of the joint pain and dysfunction.

These exciting new therapies provide a new non-surgical approach to treatment by harnessing the natural healing powers of your own body. They are featured in leading medical websites, such as mayoclinic.org, healthline.com, medicalnewstoday.com, and webmd.com.
