What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Over time, your body can wear out. Joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones can all weaken from aging, body stress, overuse, and other issues. Your doctor has a solution that can help you live your best life, no matter what your age. It’s called regenerative medicine. Dr. Bradley Bley at Delaware Sports Medicine provides a wide range of sports medicine and wellness services, including regenerative medicine. He has two convenient office locations in North Wilmington, and Townsend, DE, to help you. 

What You Need To Know About Regenerative Medicine 

So, what is regenerative medicine? It’s modern, evidence-based interventional therapies which can be combined to achieve: 

• Pain relief or elimination of pain 
• Damaged tissue repair or replacement 
• Increased flexibility, mobility, and strength 
• Restored functionality and increased quality of life 

Regenerative medicine is different than conventional medicine, because it is designed to promote natural healing and regeneration within your body. At Delaware Sports Medicine, regenerative medicine treatments include: 

Stem cell therapy - using foundational cells, known as stem cells, which can transform themselves into other types of cells. The stem cells are injected into your body. They transform into other types of cells as needed. Stem cells can transform into skin cells, nerve cells, and blood cells to renew damaged areas.  

Platelet Rich Plasma - known as PRP, is a type of blood component. Your doctor will take a blood sample and put it through a centrifuge to separate out the plasma. The platelet rich plasma is applied to the damaged area and works to repair the damage.  

You deserve to enjoy robust health, a strong, flexible body, and an active life. You don’t have to let aging, injuries, or stress make you feel older than you are. Your regenerative medicine doctor can help you enjoy being active again.
