Regenerative Sports Medicine Q & A
Which injuries can regenerative sports medicine treat?
Athletes of all levels are doing their health a favor by being active, but sports of any kind can put you at risk for injuries. Sports injuries tend to involve the same muscles, bones, and joints that you use most in your sport of choice.
Some sports injuries happen suddenly, like on impact. Others develop with the overuse of a muscle, joint, or muscle group and cause increasing pain.
Common sports injuries treatable with regenerative sports medicine include:
- Bursitis
- Sprains
- Strains
- Bone fractures
- Tendinitis
Dr. Stilp evaluates your injury and asks for details about how it happened before recommending regenerative sports medicine. If an injury hasn’t healed well with conventional sports medicine treatments like pain medications or a cast, regenerative treatments may be an option.
How does regenerative sports medicine treat athletic injuries?
RISE specializes in two regenerative sports medicine treatment options to help athletes of all levels heal:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
PRP injections use part of your blood to enhance injury healing. Platelets play a major role in the injury healing process, so injecting a high concentration of them at the site of an injury can improve repair and recovery.
Dr. Stilp isolates platelets in liquid blood plasma as PRP by removing red and white blood cells.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) stem cells
BMAC stem cells are adult stem cells that can replicate into more than one type of other cell, which allows them to repair damaged tissue.
To get these cells and prepare them for injection, Dr. Stilp carefully takes a sample of bone marrow from your hip using imaging guidance.
Can regenerative sports medicine improve my athletic performance?
Regenerative sports medicine treats injuries that have already occurred. If you’re a dedicated athlete, you might have a chronic (long-term) or overuse injury that holds you back from reaching your full potential.
By treating such an injury with regenerative sports medicine, you may alleviate the pain that comes with it and possibly improve your athletic performance.
Regenerative sports medicine offers an innovative approach to treating injuries and keeping athletes active. Call RISE or request an appointment online to find out if regenerative sports medicine fits into your treatment plan.
