Regenerative medicine is a specialty that uses the body’s own cells, such as blood platelets and stem cells, to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, acute injuries, and back pain.

Preparing for Your Evaluation

Before your appointment, it’s important to provide any relevant medical records. This includes evaluations from other physicians, such as your primary care doctor or orthopedic surgeon, and any imaging reports like X-rays or MRIs from the past two years. Bringing these records ensures a thorough evaluation.

The Evaluation Process

During the visit, a detailed medical history will be taken, focusing on the specific area of concern. Questions about previous injuries, treatments, and surgeries will be followed by a comprehensive physical exam. Related areas will also be examined to ensure a full understanding of the issue.

Diagnostic Tools

Part of the evaluation may include a diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to assess joint and tendon health. This non-invasive tool helps detect inflammation and instability, key factors in determining the best course of treatment.

Treatment Candidacy and Personalized Plan

Determining whether regenerative medicine is the right option depends on your medical history and treatment goals. A personalized treatment plan will be created, tailored to your needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Next Steps

After the evaluation, findings will be reviewed, and further testing or preparation needed before treatment will be discussed. This may include adjusting medications, starting supplements, or specific exercises to optimize the treatment outcome.
