What Are the Types of Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine or to be precise musculoskeletal regenerative medicine is a very promising field which could make a big difference in the treatment of arthritis and ligamentous injuries in sports injuries.

At the lowest level there is prolotherapy which use tissue irritants which modulate inflammation and also potentially scar down or tighten ligaments.

The next level is PRP, which is abbreviation for platelet rich plasma. Platelets are components of blood which have growth factors which could be beneficial in promoting healing. There are ways in which platelets could be concentrated and injected precisely to help promote healing in arthritis, ligament injuries.

Next level is bone marrow concentrate treatment for example Regenexx SD procedure. Here bone marrow is collected which contains stem cells, these are concentrated and injected to promote healing and reduce inflammation. Again precision guided injection with ultrasound or fluoroscopy is particularly important for optimum results.

Next level is cultured stem cells which are not done in the in USA, except in experimental setting of these are regulated by FDA.

Stem cell treatment is used to restore tissues in spinal discs and treat back pain, it does so by using a type of cell to repair injuries. Stem cells are cells without a pre-existing function in the body that can be developed into a cell that does serve a function. They are collected from a patient’s bone marrow, blood, or fat, and after the doctor separates the necessary cells, they are injected back into the patient. Cartilage regeneration aims to restore damaged cartilage and assists patients with musculoskeletal conditions. Cartilage regeneration is important as cartilage does not heal effectively on its own.

Platelet-rich plasma draws blood from an individual and uses it to create a solution containing more plasma and platelets than normal blood, afterwards it is applied during surgery or injected into the injured tendon. Prolotherapy is used to treat connective tissues and injured joints. The doctor will inject a watery solution at the injured site which irritates the body and prompts a healing response.

Orthopedic regenerative medicine is a growing field which has tremendous potential in healing arthritis and sports injuries but using stem cells / bone marrow concentrate and PRP.

Who needs stem cells: Most tissue has enough stem cells to help sustain repair and homeostasis. But when these falls short due to injuries/recurrent injuries/poor general health and high inflammatory status or localized conditions including moderate to severe osteoarthritis, stem cells are beneficial.

What is the best stem cell available: One’s own bone marrow concentrate is the best stem cell for orthopedic regenerative medicine.
