“Anyone who experiences the pain, loss of range of motion or the disability of orthopedic injury or arthritis should consider regenerative orthopedic medicine options,” commented Daniel Southern, M.D., a Regenerative Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Physician in Fairfield County, Connecticut. “Stem cell treatment can provide a minimally invasive alternative to surgery to allow you to return to normal daily activities, a fit and active lifestyle and work responsibilities more quickly.”
Regenerative Orthopedics fills the gap in treatment of musculoskeletal injuries between non-operative care and surgery. Regenerative orthopedic injections of stem cells and platelet rich plasma can facilitate and quicken healing and recovery from sports related joint and soft tissue injuries. Any patient who has not responded to therapy, time, relative rest, and steroid injections is an ideal candidate for regenerative treatment. Patients with nagging, chronic injuries that limit function and prevent full participation in workout or athletic activities are also ideal candidates. Patients who have suffered strains such as to ligaments of the knee or shoulder and who wish to speed recovery time and ensure robust repair of damaged tissues should consider regenerative orthopedic injections.
Maybe your doctor has recommended surgery but you are not ready or willing to consider surgery. Regenerative orthopedic treatment, if appropriate, may be tried as an alternative. They are safe, relatively painless, and do not cause any further damage to tissues. In the best case, regenerative treatment provides an alternative to surgery that makes surgery unnecessary
The more common sports injuries we can offer help for include sprained ankles, groin pulls, hamstring strains, knee ligament sprains or meniscal tears, shoulder rotator cuff tears, throwers’ elbow, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. We treat chronic arthritic joint pain and even advanced arthritic disease can be managed with regenerative procedures. But even if the joint pain is new, patients do not have to despair that this means spending the rest of their lives with nagging pain limiting participation in activities they enjoy. Regenerative procedures can restore joint health allowing return to full activities with minimal or no pain.
Stem cell treatments are not simply a “last resort” for those considering invasive surgery or joint replacement but rather an option to explore if you need quick healing and recovery to get you back to sports, athletic or work activities without the painful rehabilitation and long period of restricted activity that comes with surgery.
