What is Regenerative Therapy?
Regenerative therapy in veterinary medicine involves the therapeutic use of your pet’s own tissue to promote healing and reduce inflammation. These treatments can be particularly beneficial for pets suffering from arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and other degenerative conditions. The goal is to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself, improving your pet’s quality of life and mobility.
Stem Cell Therapy
This minimally invasive procedure involves extracting a small amount of fat, processing it to isolate the stem cells, and injecting these potent cells into the affected area. Stem cells are unique because they have the potential to develop into different types of cells and tissues. Stem cells are harvested from your pet’s own fat tissue, and collection of this tissue can even be done at the same time as a routine surgery and then banked for future use. Once injected, stem cells reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and accelerate the healing process. Stem cell therapy can be particularly effective for conditions such as osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, and ligament injuries.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy involves using your pet’s own blood to promote healing. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that aid in tissue repair. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the injured area, stimulating the healing process, reducing inflammation, and enhancing tissue regeneration. PRP therapy is especially useful for tendon and ligament injuries, joint inflammation, and even certain skin conditions.
Benefits of Pet Regenerative Medicine
Pet regenerative medicine offers several benefits:
- Minimally Invasive: Stem cell and PRP therapies involve minimally invasive procedures with little to no downtime.
- Reducing Pain and Inflammation: These therapies help to reduce pain and inflammation, providing relief for pets suffering from chronic conditions.
- Enhancing Healing: Regenerative therapy can speed up recovery and improve overall outcomes by promoting the body’s natural healing processes.
