With medical care focused on managing or delaying the progression of chronic disease and illness, the number of ailing patients throughout the United States is staggering. Many patients are caught up in a vicious cycle of seeing multiple doctors and specialists with no hope for healing in sight.
Yet, there are great developments taking shape in the form of regenerative medicine, with new innovations, techniques and therapies.
With the potential to fully heal damaged tissues and organs, regenerative medicine is awarding individuals with persistent or life-altering diseases a new lease on life. This is by targeting and treating the underlying cause of their condition, including musculoskeletal pain and injury.
Stem cell therapy and
platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
treatments are two examples used by aesthetic practices that continue to prove successful in treating sports-related injuries, diseased or damaged tissues, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
