Because the knee joint is the biggest joint in the body, knee injuries can happen unexpectedly. Knee injuries are among the most common in athletes, next to back injuries and ankle injuries, depending on the sport. Of course, athletes are not the only people to suffer a knee injury. In fact, injuries tend to happen more often as people age. Fortunately, many injuries and knee conditions can be improved with Regenerative Medicine and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection.

Knee pain can develop for several reasons. Unfortunately, not all can be improved with Platelet-Rich Plasma. That is when it’s time to think of pursuing Regenerative Medicine Therapy as an alternative. The beauty of Regenerative Medicine Therapy is that it not only may help with knee injuries, but also can help with tissue damage by assisting the body’s immune system to better repair. In addition, it can help assist in the repair of the ACL, MCL, other muscle and ligament tears, fractured bones, degenerating bones, and even arthritis.

At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, we have helped to improve many patients to lead healthier, happier lives. Although restrictions may apply to some activities after therapy, Regenerative Medicine Therapy offers little to no downtime following the procedure, and most patients are encouraged to be active since an active person is more likely to make a positive recovery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma injections are simply a heightened form of specific blood cells that boost the healing process in an injured area. Although PRP research has been found to be successful in many patients with common knee conditions, no significant evidence has been presented about the repair and regeneration of full tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and/or medial collateral ligament (MCL). However, many studies since 2010 have shown improvements in patients’ knee conditions after receiving therapy with regenerative medicine.

Some of the most common conditions that Regenerative Medicine and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection may improve are:

Ankle and foot injuries are known very well by athletes, but they are not the only people who suffer from ankle or foot injuries. When these types of injuries occur, a person’s mobility and ankle functionality will decrease substantially. Ankles and feet are highly susceptible to sprains, strains, and fractures. At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, our Regenerative Medicine therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma injection therapy have helped many people recover from ankle and foot injuries. Regenerative medicine and PRP can be useful when improving tendon and ligament injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, and ankle ligament injuries.

Ankle and foot pain can develop from several conditions and injuries. Typical treatments for ankle injuries include surgeries and ankle fusion or replacement to remove damaged cartilage and replace lost cartilage near the ankle bones. These procedures can be very painful, and the recovery process may not produce the intended results. At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, our Regenerative Medicine Therapy offers patients an alternative to ankle surgeries and replacements. By concentrating cells before they can become “specialized cells” in the body, we reintroduce them into the affected area of the foot or ankle to promote a heightened form of natural healing.

The doctors at Central Coast Regenerative Medicine understand all too well how an ankle or foot injury can affect your everyday life. That is why regenerative therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma therapies should be considered when deciding on a type of therapy to improve your injury. The procedure takes no more than an hour, and patients do not have to worry about being pumped full of drugs. Instead, patients are injected with their regenerative medicine or platelet-rich plasma. We have seen improvement in the recovery time and improvement of patients who have chosen to receive PRP or regenerative medicine therapy. If you are considering this therapy, the best way to find out if your condition qualifies is to contact our office in San Luis Obispo, CA at (805) 250-4450.

The shoulder joint is what doctors call a “ball-and-socket” type of joint. It is made-up of three bones: the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula), and the upper arm bone (humerus). All of these bones work together to allow your shoulder to be the most movable joint in the body. That is why shoulder injuries can have such a major impact on people’s lives.

Clinical studies support Regenerative Medicine Therapy for shoulder injuries to be effective. In fact, a recent study indicated that nearly 60 percent of patients who receive surgery for rotator cuff injuries do not fully recover. However, the same report indicated that approximately 72 percent of patients who received Regenerative Medicine Therapy for their rotator cuff injury made significant improvements to functionality and range of motion, ultimately, making a nearly full recovery from their shoulder injury. When regenerative medicine is injected into the affected area, it improves the process of natural repair to combat bone degeneration and injured tendons, ligaments, and arthritic joints. At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, we have helped many patients recover from rotator cuff and other injuries that impede their everyday lives, and we may be able to do the same for you.

Shoulder injuries that may be improved by Regenerative Medicine Therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Therapy include:

At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, our doctors have helped patients who have undergone surgery and have had their arthritic or shoulder pain symptoms return after months of undergoing therapy. After receiving regenerative medicine therapy or PRP therapy, however, patients can make improvements in range of motion and functionality of the shoulder. Allow the doctors at Central Coast Regenerative Medicine to help relieve your shoulder pain with Regenerative Medicine and Platelet-Rich Plasma.

The hand consists of 27 bones and the wrist has eight bones that seem to be in constant motion throughout the day, which makes injuries to the hand or wrist easy to acquire. As people age, the ligaments in the hand and wrist will begin to naturally wear away, presenting problems for most people over 40 years old. Consequently, as the ligaments, bones, and muscles in the hand become weaker with age, tears and other injuries will become more prevalent. Age also presents further situations of increased stiffness, pain, and deformity in the hand and wrist.

Along with age, wrist and hand pain may be attributed to arthritis, which may have developed in the hand or fingers. Arthritis in the hand and fingers are very common conditions that can affect people of various ages when compared to people with arthritis in larger joints. Also, injuries to hands and fingers are very common among athletes. These types of conditions and injuries can have a huge impact on everyday activities.

At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, our Regenerative Medicine Therapy may be the solution responsible for healing bone, ligament, tendon, and tissue injuries and conditions. By concentrating growth factors in cells and injecting them into the affected area, we are helping the body heal itself naturally. Patients of Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo who receive Regenerative Medicine Therapy or PRP therapy often experience very little to no downtime after a procedure. At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, we have helped patients with all sorts of hand and wrist conditions, and we understand how much of an important role your hands play in your everyday lives.

The elbow is a joint that is constructed of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and fluid, but it is the muscles and tendons that help the elbow joint function. Although elbow pain is common when the joint is overused, most problems occur when any of the structures are injured or diseased. The most common cause of elbow pain is tendonitis, which is inflammation of the tendon that attaches the muscle to the bone. Many golfers and tennis players develop elbow tendonitis after years of playing these sports. In fact, many professional athletes who have developed tendonitis in the elbow have received Regenerative Medicine Therapy or Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for their injuries, and they have returned to action with few signs that an injury ever happened. The purpose of concentrated cells being injected into the affected area is to release an abundance of growth factors to promote natural healing.

Regenerative Medicine Therapy for elbow pain has helped many patients recover from tennis and golfer’s elbow, osteoarthritis, and even degenerative bone and tissue conditions. Regenerative Medicine Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that allows the doctors at Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo to help increase the body’s natural ability to heal when injected with concentrated cells. This therapy also helps promote increased blood flow and growth factors that help regenerate tissue in the body.

With Regenerative Medicine Therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, your chances of making a recovery improve. At Central Coast Regenerative Medicine in San Luis Obispo, we have helped many patients return to the sport they love after suffering for months with pain and discomfort in the elbow.
