What is Regenerative Medicine?
The idea behind regenerative medicine is using your own body parts (platelets and stem cells from your blood) to heal yourself. For anyone experiencing pain, regeneration involves transferring your blood products, stem cells, etc. into an injured area to trigger a healing response from the immune system.?
Why Regenerative Medicine?
This is an alternative to the traditional methods of medication or treatment that would just put a temporary fix to an issue without really going in and fixing the underlying problem.
