Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine

While conventional therapies for performance-limiting injuries (e.g., intra-articular injections of corticosteroids) are still widely used in our practice, a new wave of regenerative therapies is also available. The last decade has brought about significant advancements that seek to increase the quality of injured tissues, rather than merely halting damage, by using the body’s healing factors. The benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP, pictured at left), Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IRAP), Alpha-2-Macroglobulin, Stem Cell Therapies, and others are well documented for a variety of lameness problems.
