Phoenix Stem Clinic at Arizona Pain Specialists Now Offering Treatments for Knee Arthritis and Cartilage Defects
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) November 25, 2013 -- The top Phoenix stem cell treatment clinic, Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute, is now offering regenerative medicine treatments for knee arthritis and cartilage defects. These stem cell injection and PRP therapy treatments may help patients avoid the need for surgery and are administered by Board Certified Phoenix pain management doctors. For more information and scheduling, call (602) 507-6550.
Over the past few years, there has been rising interest in regenerative medicine which may help alter the course of one's arthritis, as opposed to simply masking pain like a "band aid".
Treatments with stem cells and platelet rich plasma therapy have the potential to do just that, by alleviating pain and re-growing deficient cartilage.
Small published studies have shown promising results for the stem cell treatments, which include using amniotic derived, stem cell rich material for the injections. Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute also uses bone marrow derived and fat derived stem cell injections, which harvest the stem cell substance from the patient. The procedures are low risk, outpatient and performed by Board Certified pain doctors.
The additional treatment is platelet rich plasma therapy, known as PRP therapy for short. The treatment involves a simple blood draw which is spun down to concentrated platelets and growth factors. The solution is then reinjected directly into the knee.
Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute offers treatments that are subsidized by research projects. The clinical research looks at the outcomes of the injections, and allows the treatments to be offered at a substantially lower rate than otherwise.
For those who would like more information about the regenerative medicine stem cell injections and PRP therapy for knee arthritis and cartilage defects, call (602) 507-6550.
