PRP Therapy & Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative options offered at AIMC for joint, tendon, and ligament conditions.
About Regenerative Medicine at AIMC
Regenerative medicine uses biological materials to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Dr. Stallone evaluates each patient to determine whether regenerative options are appropriate for their specific situation.
Among the options that may be discussed during a consultation are Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, prolotherapy, and stem cell therapy. The right approach depends on the condition, severity, prior treatments, and overall health profile.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets prepared from the patient's own blood. Platelets contain growth factors and signaling proteins involved in tissue repair. Dr. Stallone may recommend PRP as part of an integrative treatment plan for appropriate musculoskeletal conditions.
What PRP Treatment Typically Involves
A blood sample is drawn from the patient, processed to concentrate platelets, and the prepared concentrate is injected into the treatment area by the physician. Specifics — volume, number of sessions, timing, and post-procedure guidance — are determined by the physician based on each patient's situation. Individual results vary.
Conditions Where PRP May Be Considered
PRP is used in integrative orthopedics for select musculoskeletal conditions. Whether it is appropriate for any given patient is a clinical decision made after evaluating the condition, imaging, prior treatments, and overall goals.
Joint conditions, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, and certain chronic musculoskeletal pain situations are among the categories where regenerative therapies are sometimes considered. Dr. Stallone discusses candidacy and realistic expectations during the consultation.
Combining Regenerative Therapies
Regenerative options can be considered alongside prolotherapy or hyaluronic acid injections as part of an individualized plan. Dr. Stallone develops the plan based on each patient's specific condition and goals.
Related: Stem Cell & EBOO Options
For patients with more advanced degeneration, Dr. Stallone may also discuss stem cell therapy and EBOO ozone therapy as part of an individualized regenerative plan. Candidacy is determined case-by-case.
