Regenerative medicine employs naturally occurring biological substances (specific cells) to either stimulate your body’s ability to repair itself or to reduce the chronic inflammation cycle. These cells are naturally occuring in your body, and are used when you suffer any kind of tissue damage. They arrive in your blood to make repairs and generate replacement tissue that heals the damage.
Dr. Rispoli harvests healthy cells from your body and introduces them to tissues affected by injury or disease. The concentration of healing cells may enable your body to repair badly damaged areas that might not heal properly without help.
Dr. Rispoli uses three kinds of regenerative medicine — stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M).
Stem cell therapy uses special cells that your body stores in its fatty tissue and bone marrow. These stem cells can become any other kind of cell that your body needs, including muscle, bone, and cartilage. Dr. Rispoli collects tissues containing stem cells from your body and then extracts the cells before injecting them into your damaged tissues.
PRP uses growth factors from the platelets in your blood to repair damaged tissues. Dr. Rispoli draws a sample of your blood and spins it at a high speed in a centrifuge machine. That process separates the plasma (the liquid part of the blood) and platelets from the rest of your blood. Dr. Rispoli can then inject the concentrated platelets into your body.
A2M uses protease enzymes from your blood to slow or stop inflammation that causes chronic pain. This injection, a natural alternative to steroids, can be used in joints or the spine to reduce pain and delay surgery. The process is similar to PRP, involving blood extraction, centrifugation, and targeted reinjection. Dr. Rispoli ensures precision using fluoroscopy or ultrasound.
Stem cells and PRP can help heal a variety of musculoskeletal pain problems, including:
Regenerative medicine treatments are particularly popular among athletes to speed up the healing of sports injuries.
Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) therapy helps alleviate chronic pain and improve function in conditions like:
Alpha-2-macroglobulin treatments are particularly popular among patients that cannot tolerate or wish to reduce injections with steroids, or patients suffering chronic pain that wish to avoid surgical options.
