Therapies for Tissue Damage

Therapies for Tissue Damage

Your body has the natural ability to manage joint pain and reduce inflammation caused by injury or arthritis in knees, shoulders, hips, elbows, wrists and ankles. But sometimes the damage is overwhelming, we’ve lost some of our natural healing ability and the body needs some extra help.

Age Management Center uses natural biological therapies to bolster and support the body’s inherent healing processes to address pain, dysfunction and decreased mobility. Regenerative medicine is an advanced field of medicine focused on addressing impaired tissue in the body by activating the body’s intrinsic healing mechanisms and supporting the creation of natural, restorative cells to supplement damaged ones.

We use regenerative medicine therapies to help reduce pain and repair knee, shoulder, hip, wrist and ankle joints—and the joint surfaces [cartilage]—by collecting your cells, concentrating the newer, healthier cells, cytokines and growth factors and re-introducing them in the areas that are causing pain and loss of mobility.

ALTERNATIVES FOR JOINT PAIN SURGERY

At Age Management Center, we are excited to offer patients to a variety of therapies to help improve quality of life and address joint pain, without surgery.

Regenerative therapies

Our tissue therapies are used to address joint pain by supporting natural tissue repair in joints that are experiencing pain, limited range of motion and other issues.

Through this therapy, we are able to support tissue directly into the affected area using ultrasound guidance. The process takes approximately 10 minutes. Once complete, the application stimulates a regenerative process in the body causing the body’s natural healing abilities to suppress the inflammation that is occurring. It is expected patients may experience significant relief within a few weeks.

Weight management also plays a crucial role in promoting healthier joints and mitigating joint pain. Excess body weight places additional stress on the joints, particularly those in the lower extremities such as the knees and hips. This increased weight can accelerate the wear and tear of joint cartilage, contributing to conditions like osteoarthritis. By maintaining a healthy weight, individuals reduce the strain on their joints, allowing them to function more effectively and decreasing the likelihood of developing joint-related issues.

Furthermore, weight management contributes to overall joint health by addressing inflammation. Adipose tissue, commonly found in higher quantities in overweight individuals, releases inflammatory substances that can exacerbate joint pain and stiffness. Through a combination of a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and in some cases, medical weight loss supplements like semaglutide, can not only shed excess weight but also regulate inflammation levels in the body and support enhanced cardiovascular health. This not only supports the immediate relief of joint pain but also fosters long-term joint health, enhancing mobility and reducing the risk of chronic joint conditions.

We also strongly believe in the power of physical therapy and regular, supervised exercise can provide recommendations on trusted resources in the area to support your holistic joint pain relief.
