If you have chronic pain or an acute injury that you’d like to heal, regenerative medicine restores your body to health. The medical team at Alternative Wellness Clinic in Sterling, Virginia, harnesses the healing powers of the human body by providing regenerative medicine such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy.
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine is the use of the body’s own healing mechanisms to regrow damaged tissue and heal chronic pain. It uses the knowledge gained from biology, tissue engineering, biochemistry, and applied engineering to create therapies that accelerate healing. At Alternative Wellness Clinic, the medical team offers both PRP and MSC therapies to improve conditions such as:
- Sprains and strains
- Hairline fractures
- Migraines and headaches
- Arthritis
- Disc pain
- Joint pain
- Neck and back pain
- Neuropathy
Many women and men with chronic pain who haven’t responded to other types of therapies find relief with regenerative medicine.
What is PRP?
Your blood contains healing cell fragments called platelets. Platelets are the components in your blood that rush to the site of an injury to form a clot when you’re bleeding and help rebuild the damaged tissue. When creating a PRP serum, your practitioner first takes a small donation of blood from your arm, then separates the platelets from the plasma in a centrifuge. Your practitioner activates the platelet’s healing power and injects the supercharged PRP serum into the site of your injury — the platelets stimulate healing and “call” your body’s stem cells to the scene, where they morph to become the kind of cell you need to repair your injury.
