Until more recent years, treatment recommendations for tissue damage were largely limited to rest and patience. While rest and patience remain essential aspects of recovering from soft tissue injuries, patients have more treatment options than ever before, thanks to advancements in regenerative medicine.
At the Age Management Center, we specialize in natural, functional therapies for a range of medical conditions, including tissue damage. We customize each patient’s care strategy to his or her unique needs and often utilize regenerative medicine and other modalities in combination to best support optimal healing and recovery. This blog provides an overview of how regenerative medicine works to effectively treat tissue damage.
What Is Soft Tissue Damage?
When medical professionals talk about soft tissue damage, they are referring to acute and chronic injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Soft tissue damage can be the result of sprains, strains, bruises, repetitive motion, tendinitis, and some degenerative disorders. Regardless of the cause, soft tissue injuries can cause swelling, inflammation, pain, and restricted mobility.
When to Consider Regenerative Medicine for Tissue Damage
Regenerative medicine treatments work to optimize the body’s natural repair processes to accelerate healing, minimize discomfort, and restore function. Whether you have tissue damage that is minor or severe, chronic or acute, if you want to recover more comfortably and in less time, you are likely a good candidate for regenerative medicine.
Regenerative therapies can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have not found relief through traditional treatment methods. If you have been struggling with chronic pain, limited mobility, or other symptoms related to soft tissue damage, regenerative medicine may offer the breakthrough you need. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, these treatments can help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to the affected area, and expedite tissue repair.
Benefits of Regenerative Medicine for Soft Tissue Damage
Regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and cellular re-transplantation amplify the effects of restorative biological processes to promote the repair of damaged tissues at a cellular level. This approach not only helps to alleviate pain, shorten recovery time, and improve function, it also supports complete healing, so patients benefit from long-term tissue health.
Additional Treatment Options for Soft Tissue Damage
At the Age Management Center, regenerative medicine is often just one facet of a patient’s tissue repair treatment plan. Our approach to treating soft tissue damage is personalized to each patient’s specific condition and health goals. We may recommend one or more of the following in combination with regenerative therapy:
- Medically-supervised weight management
- Physical therapy
- Specialized personal training
- Supplements and nutraceuticals
