Regenerative Medicine

Transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (TEMS) has been progressively used more frequently as add-on therapy to reduce muscle atrophy in adults unable to carry out active mobilization as well as to jump-start muscle contractions for neuromuscular re-education during recovery from injury.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use signaling proteins within a patient’s own blood to accelerate healing in a specific area after injury.

Like PRP, these products are comprised of proteins for repair and healing. However, since they are derived from the fluid and/or membranes responsible for creating an entire human being, the proteins are significantly more abundant and therefore more potent. These products are acellular, meaning they contain no cells from the donor.

Where amniotic tissue and fluid comes from:

1. Consenting patients scheduled for planned C-sections donate their amniotic tissue.
2. A separate tissue bank/company collects fluid/tissue.
3. Collected tissue and fluid undergoes testing to ensure the tissue or fluid is disease-free.
4. The tissue/fluid is terminally sterilized, which means there are no live stem cells in the final products as foreign stem cells are, at best, minimally effective when it comes to soft tissue repair and can, at worst, be harmful to the recipient. 

This class of regenerators uses tissue composed of small blood vessels and extracellular matrix to increase blood flow to an area of injury and promote accelerated tissue repair.
