Regenerative Medicine & Cellular Therapy

Regenerative medicine involves all-natural, alternative therapies that treat acute and chronic pain. These therapies can often replace the need for pain medications, steroid injections, or surgery. Our providers also use regenerative medicine and cellular therapy for certain longevity and wellness techniques.

We offer the most comprehensive range of regenerative medicine and cellular therapies in our area, including:

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP Therapy)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a higher concentration of platelets, which contain special proteins called growth factors that promote healing naturally. By using the body’s own cells to stimulate regrowth and rejuvenation in damaged tissue, PRP therapy offers natural pain relief for a wide variety of conditions and injuries, including:

One of the greatest benefits of PRP therapy is that it can act as a natural (and largely pain-free) alternative to surgical procedures. PRP injections are minimally invasive and often allow patients to avoid the risks, discomfort, and recovery times associated with surgery.

Our providers also use PRP therapy for cosmetic enhancements, including skin and facial rejuvenation, anti-aging services, and restoring hair loss.

PRP Testimonials

“I have been a client of Advanced Spine and Pain Clinic for several months now. Every part of this clinic has been a positive experience, from the friendly staff to the very personable doctors and nurses. Recently I went in and had the PRP Facial, otherwise known as the Vampire Facial. To be honest, I was nervous. But the staff made me feel comfortable and at ease, they talked me though each step. The reason that I wanted to have this facial done was because of all the benefits I was hearing about it. It is said to increase collagen, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enhance skin tone and texture, shrink pore size and many other benefits. I am 44 years old and my age is starting to show on my face. The biggest positive for me was that It is using only the best parts of my blood for the procedure. There are no outside chemicals or toxins being used on my face. The procedure itself was not bad. I was informed that I would have a red face for several days so I planned ahead. I had it done on a Friday. By Monday I was fine and able to go to work. Right after I left the clinic after the procedure I had a very red face. It looked like I had a wind burn. I was given a syringe of my PRP to use for the next few days. I used the syringe with my PRP after washing my face morning and night for 4 days. Each day my face looked better and better. My skin was not as red and I noticed right away that my skin was firmer and glowing.

I would highly recommend having the PRP Facial. It has made a huge difference in my skins texture and all those stubborn age spots and acne scars seem to have diminished. I plan on getting another facial soon. They recommend having 3 to 4 treatments within a year for best results. They say the results get better every time and will last up to 2 years. That is longer that any fillers or botox injections.

I can not tell you what a positive experience this has been for me. I highly recommend going to Advanced Spine and Pain Clinic not only to have this facial but for any procedure because the atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly.”

“Amazing results with the PRP facial! I had been researching the best long term options to shrink pores and rejuvenate my skin now that I’m in my 40’s. I have had precancerous cells removed in 3 spots on my face so I was also concerned about the loss of pigmentation in those areas too. Immediately after my facial my face was very red and some spots were actually bleeding. My husband said there was no way my skin would be repaired for me to go to work on Monday ! I followed the recovery steps exactly applying the syringe of PRP and keeping my face very clean. Miraculously by Monday (3 days later) all the redness was gone and my skin looked and felt so smooth and it glowed. My pores shrunk and in some areas of my face I can’t even see any pores. The loss of pigment areas have already started gaining color. I plan to have 2 more PRP facials to complete my series of 3 for the complete facial rejuvenation. It is now 1 month after my initial PRP facial and I am still loving the results. I don’t know of any other treatment that has this deep of an effect with a 3 day recovery. Try the PRP Facial once and you’ll never waste money on any other face treatments.”

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy strengthens weakened or injured tissues by stimulating your body to send healing cells to the affected area. The procedure involves injecting a sterile solution into the connective tissues. When those cells arrive at the injured area, they cause a localized inflammatory reaction. This reaction stimulates healing activity over time that allows the body to form new collagen, creating stronger tissues. Prolotherapy usually involves a series of injections (typically 2-8) to achieve optimal improvement, and can be used to treat the following conditions:

  • Low back pain
  • Arthritis and osteoarthritis
  • Tendonitis
  • Sports-related injuries
  • Overuse injuries

Amniotic Tissue Allograft Injections

Amniotic fluid injections can treat numerous orthopedic conditions, and are particularly suited to disc herniations and spinal stenosis. The injections can allow patients an alternative to invasive surgeries for chronic joint, muscle or bone pain. Like all of our regenerative medicine and cellular therapy techniques, amniotic tissue allograft injections are designed to enhance your body’s own ability to heal.

Amniotic fluid is rich in nutrients, with hundreds of growth factors, cytokines and proteins that are beneficial in helping regenerate damaged tissues. Amniotic fluids are obtained during full-term caesarean births, volunteered by pre-screened, healthy donors who have been thoroughly tested for disease. Allogenic amniotic fluid injections can help patients with the following conditions return to full function and normal activities of daily living without surgery:

  • Chronic disc herniation
  • Spinal nerve conditions and degeneration

Bone Marrow Aspiration and Injections

Bone marrow is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells, and has the added benefit of using the patient’s own stem cells to treat degenerative conditions. Stem cell treatment helps healing by promoting your body’s immune system to aid in healing itself. The treatment is extremely anti-inflammatory, has many positive effects in helping your body treat degenerative, age related, injury, autoimmune conditions.

With this technique, mesenchymal stem cells are placed into a specific joint or disc to help promote healing and tissue regeneration. It is used to treat the following conditions:

  • Arthritis and osteoarthritis
  • Degenerated or herniated discs
  • Orthopedic and other spine injuries, such as spinal stenosis
  • Tendonitis and partial tendon tears
