Knee Stem Cell Therapy and Platelet Procedures Pittsburgh …

Rehabilitation and Pain Specialists is the only medical center in Pennsylvania to offer the nations most advanced, non-surgical stem cell and platelet treatments for knee conditions, including injuries to the knee meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament, MCL, knee cartilage and degenerative arthritis. Traditional solutions to these problems include invasive procedures, from arthroscopic knee surgery to total knee joint replacement. With this range of surgeries, patients typically require months of rehabilitation to regain strength, range-of-motion and balance, plus the patient must be prepared to take on the risks associated with surgical trauma and potential for infection. Stem Cell Therapy and Platelet treatments are minimally-invasive regenerative treatments that may help resolve knee pain with a same-day injection procedure. Patients avoid the lengthy periods of downtime and painful rehabilitation that typically follow invasive surgeries.

Stem Cells are in all of us and they are responsible for healing injured bone, ligaments, tendons and tissues. As we get older or injured, we sometimes cannot get enough of these cells into the area in need. The Regenexx Procedures help solve that problem by precisely delivering a high concentration of stem cells into the injured area and aiding your bodys ability to heal naturally. Patients experience very little down time and they typically avoid the long, painful rehabilitation periods that often follow surgery to restore joint strength and mobility.

Regenexx Procedures were recently featured on The Doctors TV show. The episode featured Dr. Christopher J. Centeno and Dr. Ron Hanson from the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado, along with a patient who sought stem cell treatment following traditional knee surgery. The 6 minute video provides a nice overview of the Stem Cell procedures that are performed at our offices in Pittsburgh, PA.

Seattle King TV recently featured Regenexx patient Paul Lyon in this news segment. Lyon chose to undergo a Regenexx-SD knee procedure, rather than an invasive and traumatic knee joint replacement surgery.

The Regenexx procedure begins when the doctor numbs the back of the hip (PSIS) and takes a small bone marrow sample through a needle, as well as a blood draw from a vein in the arm. The marrow is rich in Mesenchymal Stem Cells, which are responsible for healing damaged tissues. The stems cells are isolated from the marrow sample and platelets are isolated from the blood. After preparation, these two components will be reinjected directly into the damaged joint using advanced imaging guidance, ensuring the cells are placed in the exact location of need.

If you are suffering from a joint injury, joint pain, a non-healing fracture or a degenerative condition like osteoarthritis, you may be a good candidate for these ground-breaking stem cell and blood platelet treatments. Please complete the Procedure Candidate Form below and we will immediately email you more information.
