When treating articular cartilage injuries, for
example, regenerative medicine therapies can
both overcome the limited ability of the cartilage
to self-repair by providing either new cells or growth
factors needed to repair the existing cells. Studies
indicate that such techniques can improve the
efficacy and consistency of treatment and reduce
the potential for future injuries in the same location.
Professional and recreational athletes now have a
safe and efficient alternative to surgery that not o
nly resolves pain but also thoroughly heals difficult
injuries.
