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.
In a recent article for Ask the Experts, Dr. Minotti discusses the most common questions from patients about Regenerative Orthopedics. As a young physician, Dr. Minotti sought more effective methods to treat patients with conditions that were not responding to traditional treatments. Discovering the developing field of Regenerative Medicine, he became a pioneer in these innovative procedures.
Meniscus tears are one of the most common types of knee injuries. When left untreated, the tear may increase, making the knee become susceptible to arthritis.
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.
