Advanced Regenerative Therapy
Regenerate an Injured Body, Naturally
We use regenerative medicine at our Connecticut practice to treat diseases and conditions. These advanced therapies seek to repair, replace, or restore function to damaged cells, tissues, or organs at the cellular level.
Types of Advanced Regenerative Therapies We Offer
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy takes blood from a person’s arm and processes it to isolate cell fragments known as platelets. (Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate regrowth.) This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into an injured part of the body, prompting the body's own healing mechanisms.
PRP therapy treats a broad spectrum of conditions, from joint and knee pain, muscle injuries, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, and more.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy
Autologous stem cell therapy involves collecting a patient's own stem cells, typically from blood or bone marrow, and reintroducing them into the body after treatment. This non-surgical procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, helping to repair damaged bones, ligaments, and tendons, while also reducing pain and improving recovery.
Regenerative Therapy FAQs
What to know
What happens after regenerative treatment?
Regenerative medicine replaces, or "regenerates" human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function in your body. In some cases a target area that is damaged or in pain will be restored to normal functionality following treatment. In other cases the surrounding areas will be treated to help to reduce pain and inflammation.
Are regenerative therapies safe?
Yes! Both Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy use a simple blood draw, similar to when you would give blood a typical doctor's visit. Autologous Stem Cell Therapy uses your own adipose tissue (fat) or bone marrow. Following treatment, you may experience some soreness or bruising at the injection site.
Overall, advanced regenerative therapies are low-risk procedures that are generally considered safe for most people. A big reason for this is because regenerative medicine relies on your own tissues and blood cells for treatment. However, it is very important to only undergo an advanced regenerative therapy with a medical practitioner trained in regenerative medicine, such as with Dr. Guglin at our practice in Milford, Connectictut.
There are some instances when a regenerative therapy might not be recommended. For instance they are not recommended for people with certain medical conditions, such as Hepatitis C, HIV, or AIDS.
