at Hill Country Pain Associates with Regenerative Cell Therapy

Recent research has enlightened us to the fact we may be able to harness the body's intrinsic ability to heal or regenerate itself. When the body is injured, inflammation occurs which causes tissue growth factors to rush to the area to stimulate cells. This leads to the onset of regeneration and healing of damaged tissue as a natural process. What if we could increase the concentration of these factors at the site and improve the rate or quality of the healing process? Might we be able to "turn back time" on degenerative changes by concentrating the healing factors found naturally in the body? Is it possible to then place these healing fluids directly on the damaged area to a greater effect than might happen naturally over time? The answer is yes. It is now possible to treat many problems with regenerative cell therapy.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentrate rich in growth factors and tissue healing substances obtained from the patient's blood. After processing of the patient's blood sample to extract platelets and serum rich in tissue healing factors, the serum is used to treat damaged or degenerative tissue.

Amniotic Tissue Injection
The regenerative and healing power of amniotic fluid which nurtures babies in the womb has been known for many years. The fluid and the amniotic sac are loaded with the basic components necessary for repair and healing of degenerative tissue. The fluid and amniotic tissue are safely harvested, processed, concentrated, and may be applied to damaged or injured tissue to stimulate healing and repair.
ALPHA 2 Macroglobulin
Your body makes a molecule in the liver which is a defense against the destructive action of FAC. The "good guy" molecule is called Alpha-2 Macroglobulin. It is made in the liver and is elevated in the blood stream after exercise or vigorous activity. A2M attaches to and removes the destructive enzymes and proteases which damage cartilage cells and tissues in the joint or disc space.
