Regenerative Medicine
Heal damaged tissues faster (And get rid of related pain more quickly) with our innovative regenerative medicine procedures. These procedures provide a modern solution to ailments that physicians diagnose and treat every day in the world of pain management.
What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine is a developing, innovative field of medicine focused on developing and applying new treatments to heal tissues and aims to restore function lost due to aging, disease, damage or defects.
While traditional pain management techniques, such as injections, are invaluable to the relief of pain, it is not uncommon for some amount of pain to eventually reemerge. That is where regenerative medicine comes in. Your body’s natural ability to repair, rebuild, and regenerate is stimulated and accelerated by this groundbreaking therapy, using powerful regenerative cells and growth factors from your own body. Here at Altus, we use cutting edge treatments to facilitate healing of the actual disease process, instead of masking the symptoms.

-
Does insurance cover these treatments?
Unfortunately, insurance does not cover these treatments and they will have to be paid out of pocket.
- What can patients expect from Regenerative Medicine?
During Regenerative Medicine therapy, cells, known as stem cells, are transferred to the affected part of the body through a minimally invasive procedure. Cells used in Regenerative Medicine can come from different parts of the body, including blood and bone marrow. The procedure is minimally invasive, so patients are unlikely to experience significant soreness or complications, like infections.
- How soon does Regenerative Medicine work?
Regenerative Medicine can take several weeks or months to deliver optimal results for those with joint pain. However, cells used in Regenerative Medicine start to heal damaged tissue right away after being transferred.
- What conditions does regenerative medicine treat?
These treatments can be beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis of all joints, acute and chronic tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tears, and degenerative disc disease among others.
- Can PRP therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes, PRP therapy can be combined with other treatments depending on the medical condition. It is often used with physical therapy, medications, or other interventions.
