Regenerative Medicine
Othrobiologic or regenerative medicine uses your body's own cells and proteins to help the body heal.
Not all PRP is the same
We use the highest quality EmCyte PurePRP systems to customize your PRP treatment to your specific condition.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP)
Platelets, found in the bloodstream, serve as carriers for chemical signals that trigger the body's healing mechanisms. In the event of an injury, platelets migrate to the affected region and release these chemical signals, intensifying the healing response.
In cases of chronic injuries affecting tendons, ligaments, and joints, this healing process can stall leading to disordered healing and chronic pain. The concentration and re-injection of your own platelets, known as PRP, can replicate this healing response and prove highly effective in treating specific conditions.
If PRP is indicated we take a sample of the patient's blood and process it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The PRP is then injected directly into the damaged area using ultrasound guidance to ensure the treatment is most effective. The procedure takes less than an hour and is done in the office.
Conditions effectively treated with PRP
Mild to moderate arthritis
Chronic tendon pain (tendonitis or chronic sprains and tears)
Appropriate rest and rehabilitation are essential to a good outcome after PRP. Dr. Goodman and his team provide a rehabilitation protocol, supplement recommendations, and work closely with your physical therapist to guide your post procedure rehabilitation to ensure the best possible outcome
Fat Derived Signaling Cell Treatments
Adipose tissue contains a high concentration of cells that signal the body to heal. These cells can be processed following an in-office liposuction procedure with an FDA-approved device. Once the adipose tissue is prepared, it is injected into the site of injury or discomfort under image guidance, re-starting the healing process. Coming soon.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
Signaling cells and therapeutic proteins can be isolated from bone marrow aspirated from the hip bone. The collected healing cells and proteins are then concentrated on-site using an FDA-approved kit and a centrifuge unit. After the preparation, the concentrate is injected into the injured or painful area under the guidance of ultrasound to initiate the healing process. Coming soon.
