Adult regenerative cells hold significant promise due to their ability to self-renew and differentiate into many types of cells, ie cartilage, muscle, ligament, tendon or bone. In sports medicine, regenerative cell research is being used in osteoarthritis, articular cartlilage repair, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction, tendon healing, and meniscus regeneration. A review of clinicaltrials.gov showed that as of May 2014, over 45 clinical trails were being performed worldwide on the use of regenerative cells in orthopedic problems in knees. Today, patients do not need to travel abroad for Regenerative Cell therapy. It is now available in the Dayton area. Please contact my office at 937-415-9133. Ask for Sheila to schedule an initial consultation.
