Regenerative Orthopedics
Go beyond recovery to true renewal.
What is Regenerative Orthopedics?
Science that rejuvenates and heals your body – without surgery.
Regenerative Orthopedics is medicine that uses non-surgical injection procedures for the repair of damaged tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Our regenerative injection therapies enhance your body’s innate healing abilities. Experience a personalized path beyond recovery to true renewal of your health and vitallity.
NW Regen treatments include precise ultrasound-guided and fluoroscopic injections that regenerate tissue for accelerated healing without extensive recovery time.
Our regenerative treatments heal & repair ligament and tendon damage and mitigate pain without surgery, steroids, or more medications.
Prolotherapy
Regenerative joint injection therapy using dextrose solutions to stimulate healing and permanently strengthen and repair painful, injured joints. For acute and chronic joint pain.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Advanced form of joint injection therapy that uses elements within platelets to regulate inflammation, promote new blood supply; and repair, remodel, and restore damaged tissues.
Biocellular Therapies
Powerful injection therapies that use an adipose (fatty) tissue graft from your body, rich in regenerative cells including stem cells that help repair degenerative conditions in ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT)
This naturopathic treatment calms inflamed nerves and promotes healing with small injections of pH-balanced dextrose solution to block receptors on nerve endings responsible for pain and inflammation.
Regenerative Orthopedics treatments FAQs
How to Choose a Regenerative Physician
Not all regenerative practices provide the same level of care. If you’re evaluating different physicians, here are some good questions to ask.
Is the person selling the interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine able to perform the treatment?
If you went to a seminar on interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine and the person lecturing is not able to perform the treatment, keep looking. Find doctors who perform interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine as their sole profession. These doctors are licensed and have the highly specialized qualifications and training to diagnose, manage, and treat using interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicines.
What is interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine?
If doctors can’t immediately give an all-day talk about interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine to the point that your eyes glaze over, move on. Well-trained regenerative physicians are wildly excited about this type of medicine. They have a passion for it, and it’s obvious.
Can you tell me the number of cells in the treatment?
Cell counts are extremely important in orthobiologic medicine. Without knowing the numbers of cells a practitioner is putting into your body, you cannot reliably repeat or know if you are receiving the therapeutic threshold needed to create positive therapeutic benefit. Cell counting is a reliable, easy way to do this. It helps us tailor treatments to unique conditions.
Do you follow current FDA guidelines for proper protocols?
If a doctor uses anything from a vial that gets injected into your body, he or she should understand the regulatory pathways for those products. There is a great deal of misinformation in the marketplace, so practitioners need to rely on standard FDA guidelines. Interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine practitioners should have an incredible depth of knowledge about FDA regulations. Practitioners must take the time to review, understand and be able to safely implement standards that are allowed per the FDA.
How do you track your outcomes?
Data tracking analytic software is becoming the standard of care and should be used in every interventional orthopedic and orthobiologic medicine clinic for better outcome studies. This helps build a database showing how well treatments work across the field AND it helps the doctor track individual improvements. It also allows small specialty clinics like ours to partake in research, which is the future of our field.
Do you use image guidance?
The two main forms of guidance are Fluoroscopy and Musculoskeletal ultrasound sonography. Some type of ultrasound assistance should be used in almost all regenerative injection therapies to help diagnose and locate the exact spot where injections should be administered. If a physician isn’t using some sort of guidance, he or she should have decades of hands-on experience using more traditional regenerative injection procedures.
What kind of training is required for regenerative procedures?
