Regenerative Medicine vs. Traditional Treatment Methods

June 24, 2015/2 Comments/in Regenerative Medicine /by Matthew Thorson

regenerative medicine

You may have heard the term “regenerative medicine” before – it pops up every so often in the news. But few people have a firm grasp on what regenerative medicine actually is and how it can be used as an effective therapy method. In this article, we will talk about regenerative medicine as a method for treating pain, and how it differs from other traditional treatment options.

First off, What Exactly is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine involves using the body’s cells to replace, regenerate, or rejuvenate tissues, organs, and other bodily elements. The full extent of regenerative medicine’s ability to treat various diseases and conditions is still being studied. That being said, there are several cellular therapy techniques that have been approved, including:

  • PRP (aka Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy, which uses platelet’s from a patient’s blood to regenerate tissues, tendons, and more. PRP helps reduce pain and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

How is Regenerative Medicine Different from Other Treatments?

While many traditional treatment methods focus on relieving pain and controlling symptoms of a given condition or injury, regenerative medicine is aimed at fixing the root cause of the problem.

Example:

  • Using PRP therapy to stimulate tissue regrowth and healing in a patient with osteoarthritis of the knee. Traditional treatments include mitigating symptoms of the arthritis with pain medications, physical therapy, and bracing.

Every patient has a different situation, and the best treatment approach depends on your unique set of circumstances. A pain management physician can help guide you through your options and recommend the best course of action for your situation.
