• BPC-157: What the Science Actually Says

  Posted in: Regenerative Medicine | Posted on: 17-Apr-2026 | No of views: 191

  Medicine is advancing at a remarkable pace. As scientists deepen our understanding of cellular repair, physicians are discovering better ways to harness the body’s own healing capacity. Regenerative treatments – including PRP, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and advanced physical modalities – are producing meaningful results for patients because they are grounded in a growing base of clinical evidence. That same standard of evidence is the lens through which I evaluate every emerging therapy, including the one this post addresses.

• Regenerative Orthopedics: Making Informed Decisions

  Posted in: Regenerative Medicine | Posted on: 26-Nov-2024 | No of views: 5508

  Regenerative medicine is revolutionizing how we approach musculoskeletal health. This cutting-edge field, backed by leading institutions like the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and the Hospital for Special Surgery, has opened the door to innovative treatments using orthobiologics—therapies derived from your body’s own biological materials to heal and restore orthopedic conditions.

• My Knees Hurt! Fix it!

  Posted in: Regenerative Medicine | Posted on: 19-May-2023 | No of views: 2914

  Traditional treatments for knee pain have often been NSAIDs or surgery. NSAIDs reduce inflammation, therefore reducing pain. Unfortunately, inflammation is our body’s natural method of healing. Millions of tiny cells rush to the injury to perform their individual role in the healing process. So, when inflammation stops, healing stops also. Surgery is often not necessary. 86% of musculoskeletal injuries can be effectively treated without surgery. Discover your options.

• What is that crunchy sound? Is it serious? How do I fix it?

  Posted in: Regenerative Medicine | Posted on: 13-Jul-2022 | No of views: 29973

  Healthy function of joints is controlled by “chondrocytes,” mesenchymal stem cells that regulate replacement of damaged cells. When the balance between the supply of new cells is adequate to maintain healthy function, the body is in homeostasis. However, imbalance in this function leads to degeneration of tissue, such as osteoarthritis.

• Humans can regrow cartilage, much like a salamander regrows its tail!

  Posted in: Regenerative Medicine | Posted on: 04-May-2020 | No of views: 6459

  Research is beginning to dispel some of the mysteries surrounding the human body, particularly how the body regenerates tissue. In the early 1990s, scientists discovered small sections of RNA called microRNA or miRNA. This discovery allowed them to see more precisely how DNA functions in our bodies and the role these tiny molecules play in the process of regeneration of tissue.
