Conventional treatments for painful, chronic conditions usually come with a number of drawbacks. Back surgery patients risk that the treatment may be ineffective or cause more pain than it alleviates. Other treatments have low success rates, extensive therapy commitments, and may only temporarily improve symptoms instead of lasting relief.
Regenerative medicine is revolutionary because it uses the body’s own healing ability to recover from injuries, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve mobility. Here are some reasons to consider regenerative and amniotic allographic therapies in order to give patients treatment options for fuller healing and relief. Regenerative medicine offers a number of dramatic benefits, which include:
1. PATIENTS MAY BE ABLE TO AVOID SURGERY.
Amniotic fluids may help patients avoid surgery and reduce pain. Regenerative medicine can be used for torn rotator cuffs, which can be very painful and generally require surgery to fix. Instead, you may be able to provide a minimally invasive treatment option to help your patient’s body heal with its own cells.
2. RECOVERY TIME IS MINIMAL.
Most patients are able to return to their normal activities following amniotic fluid therapy, both of which are outpatient procedures. The most common side effects are minor bruising or discomfort at the site of the injection, which should go away within a few days. Unlike surgery or other procedures, regenerative medicine allows the patient to return to their routine as quickly as possible.
3. HEALING HAPPENS FASTER.
Regenerative medicine is known for helping patients heal faster than treatment with conventional methods. Amniotic fluids work quickly to repair injured joints and tissue, enhancing the body’s own ability to heal after an injury. It may take a few weeks to notice a difference, adding complementary therapies such as physical therapy may also be helpful over time.
4. THERE’S NO NEED FOR MEDICATION OR GENERAL ANESTHESIA.
While some numbing medication will be injected at the site prior to treatment to ensure minimal discomfort, there’s no need for pain medication or general anesthesia with regenerative medicine. If the patient is taking pain medication, it may be reduced or eliminated once results are realized.
5. IT’S LOW RISK SINCE PATIENTS’ OWN CELLS ARE USED.
Regenerative medicine procedures are generally considered low risk as the patient’s own cells are used to heal injuries.
