Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine is a field of therapy that harnesses the regenerative properties of certain cells in your own body to help heal diseased or damaged tissues and organs. It uses the body’s tissue components to replace lost tissue, accelerate healing and recovery, and provide pain relief.

Regenerative medicine focuses on 3 areas:

  • Improving the body’s ability to heal
  • Replacing lost organs and tissue with healthy tissue from a donor
  • Using stem cells, which have the capability of transforming into any type of tissue, as well as cell products such as growth factors to restore tissue and organ function.

Regenerative medicine is useful in the treatment of bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle, nerve, and soft tissue injuries as well as chronic wounds that were previously thought to be irreparable.
