Regenerative Medicine, which unleashes the healing power of your own body’s platelets and stem cells, is just that. This exciting new medical field focuses on healing illness, relieving pain, and promoting healthy function by harvesting and concentrating your body’s own healing cells, signaling molecules, and then redeploying them where they are needed most. These concentrates promote regeneration of normal tissue architecture and reduce inflammation and dysfunctional tissue reorganization due to injury or degeneration. These therapies have been utilized, with remarkable success, in a number of conditions that interfere with valued activities of daily living and that reduce the quality of life. Furthermore, these treatments require minimal down time and a quick and sustained return to work and other valued activities. It is for this reason that these treatments are so popular among elite professional athletes of all sports and from all around the world as reported more and more frequently in the media. In fact, these treatments, which were once considered only for elite athletes who would travel for treatment to Europe or Mexico, are now available to anyone right here in Ventura County. The treatments are still considered experimental by insurance companies and therefore are not covered although these treatments have a long track record for safety and efficacy. In fact, many patients experience complete and sustained relief from only one treatment injection.
