Due to the current situation we have instituted important changes to our clinic to increase safety of our patients & staff:
Important Disclosure:
Our clinic is not offering stem cells or stem cell therapy as a cure for any condition, disease, or injury. No statements or implied treatments on this website have been evaluated or approved by the FDA. This website contains no medical advice. We may use biologics from umbilical cord blood, nanofat and bone marrow aspirate that potentially contain stem cells. Many of information and treatments maybe investigational and may require participation in a research program. No results or specific outcomes are guaranteed. Please use this site as an educational source and consult with a physician about options and treatments.
Avoid surgery in many cases.
Surgery can be expensive dangerous or debilitating with temporary results & long recovery time.
Helps new cartilage grow from older cartilage in a process called regeneration.*
Preventing inflammation.
Return to work the same day.
Treat the problem at the source instead of temporary pain control.

What Does PRP & Stem Cell Therapy Do?
The researchers believe that the therapy works by:
Releasing cytokines into the body to prevent further damage to cartilage and reduce pain and inflammation.
Preventing inflammation that can make osteoarthritis worse.
Creating healthy new cartilage tissues.
Many patients experience improvements in the treated area and other areas, like in a Mayo Clinic study where patients benefited in both knees after experiencing injections in only one.
A new Advanced Technology widely accepted and proven in Europe for many years is now available in America.
Blood flow is necessary to start and maintain the repair processes of damaged tissue structure. The application of acoustic waves creates capillary microruptures in tendon and bone. Due to microruptures the expression of growth factors such as eNOS, VEGF, PCNS and BMP is significantly increased.
As a result of these processes arterioles are remodeled, stimulated to grow and new ones are formed. The new blood vessels improve blood supply and oxygenation of the treated area and support faster healing of both the tendon and the bone.
Chronic inflammation can damage healthy tissue and results in chronic pain. Mast cells are one of the key components of the inflammatory process. Their activity may be increased by using pervasive acoustic waves.
Mast cell activation is followed by the production of chemokines and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory compounds first enhance the inflammatory process and in the next step help restore normal healing and regenerative processes.
Substance P is a neurotransmitter that mediates pain information through C-fibers. This neuropeptide is generally associated with intense, persistent and chronic pain. It relays pain messages to the central nervous system. Lowering the concentration of Substance P reduces the stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers and thus reduces the pain. Decreasing Substance P, histamines and other nociceptive metabolites also helps inhibit development of inflammatory oedema. Acoustic waves generated by Shockwave therapy lower the Substance P concentration and trigger pain relief.
The production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for the repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures. Shockwave therapy accelerates procollagen synthesis. The therapy forces the newly created collagen fibers into a longitudinal structure which makes the newly formed tendon fibers more dense and stiff and creates a firmer structure.
Most important to the patient, shockwave therapy provides him with a virtually risk-free, painless, and successful therapy for treating common orthopedic conditions.
In rare cases, local bruising or short-term exacerbation of pain has been reported, but other complications have not been previously reported.
The so-called “tennis elbow”, a frequent, very painful, often chronic enrhythmia on the elbows. This disease is caused by overuse of tendons, mostly on the outside of the elbow. The term “tennis” is only an example of various possible causes. Typical of the tennis elbow is a strong pain during admission, which radiates from the elbow often to the hand.
The so-called “periarthritis calcarea” of the shoulder joint, often referred to as “PHS”, hydroxyapatite rheumatism . This refers to the very painful inflammation and stiffening of the shoulder joint capsule, which is often accompanied or caused by calcium deposits. Unbearable night and movement pains are just as typical signs of the “PHS” as the difficulty of lifting the arm sideways.
