Regenerative Medicine Alleviating Pain and Regaining Joint Function & Mobility
|
|
Greetings!
Please join us on Thursday, July 25, for a presentation on Regenerative Medicine by Dr. Jeffery Ericksen, who will describe:
* The development of regenerative-medicine therapies to alleviate musculoskeletal pain,
* How medical research is demonstrating that many chronic, degenerative pain conditions appear to be the result of failed tissue repair, rather than the result of active inflammation in the tissue where the pain is perceived,
* How new prolotherapy technologies like Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and Stem-Cell Therapy can jump start the body's own healing process, and
* How the future of this new field of medicine will create even more promising treatment options for patients,
This event is free, however, seating is limited, so we encourage prior registration by calling 703-532-4892 or by clicking here.
