Regenerative medicine is revolutionizing how we approach musculoskeletal health. This cutting-edge field, backed by leading institutions like the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and the Hospital for Special Surgery, has opened the door to innovative treatments using orthobiologics—therapies derived from your body’s own biological materials to heal and restore orthopedic conditions.
Cortisone... this subject has been a sore spot for me for many years. It is one that I feel passionately about as it directly opposes everything I believe and everything I know about medicine.
The field of regenerative medicine is complex. Patients often believe that the treatment they receive at one clinic is the same as another, that the latte at this Starbucks is the same as the latte at another.
The decision of how to treat medical conditions can be overwhelming. Many patients research all potential options. Others follow their doctor’s advice. Some just go with standard procedures.
Traditional treatments for knee pain have often been NSAIDs or surgery. NSAIDs reduce inflammation, therefore reducing pain. Unfortunately, inflammation is our body’s natural method of healing. Millions of tiny cells rush to the injury to perform their individual role in the healing process. So, when inflammation stops, healing stops also. Surgery is often not necessary. 86% of musculoskeletal injuries can be effectively treated without surgery. Discover your options.
