As we age, the parts of the body that were resilient in our youth don’t heal quite as well as they used to. Similarly, adult athletes who use their bodies differently than the average person may experience pain from straining or overusing certain tendons and joints.
Regenerative medicine uses the power of your own body to repair cells and relieve pain in areas where healing may be slow or incomplete, including ligaments and tendons.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy promotes healing in injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It is frequently used in athletes and active individuals who wish to return to their sport or activity quickly or in individuals who want to avoid surgery.
When ligaments and tendons are damaged, the body releases platelets packed with growth factors and other healing agents to jumpstart the healing process.
PRP therapy involves extracting platelets from your own blood and injecting the serum directly into the damaged area.
Dr. Goswami uses stem cells to treat muscle ligament and tendon injuries as an alternative to surgery and other mainstream treatment options.
Stem cells are special starter cells that can develop into any cell, such as cartilage and muscle. Stem cells are the only cells in your body with this capability; they can even divide to produce more cells.
This therapy involves injecting the patient’s stem cells into the injured area. The stem cells activate to create healthy new tissue to replace the damaged bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, or muscle.
