Experiencing Symptoms?
Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints that causes pain, swelling and stiffness. It can be caused by natural aging, injury, inflammation, or bodily disease. In the United States, 23% of all adults — more than 54 million people — have arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting approximately 43 million people in the U.S. Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative joint disease, in which the cartilage lining of a joint wears away over time. At that point, your bones begin to rub against each other, resulting in friction, swelling, pain, stiffness, and instability.
Soft Tissue Repair and Restoration
Regenerative medicine, also called ortho-biologics, is an advanced and rapidly expanding field in orthopedics that focuses on the use of stem cell treatments to repair and/or restore damaged tissues that have failed to repair themselves. Such treatments include, but are not limited to, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy (BMC) and amniotic injection therapy.
