Advances in our understanding of physiology and body mechanics are being made daily, which results in healthier movement for both professional athletes and amateurs that enjoy sports as a fun activity or for workouts on the weekends. Although people are more educated about smart movement than ever before, it’s still possible to sustain a chronic or acute sports injury, and there are a number of effective options for pain relief including GenStem, a stem cell therapy offered by OrthoGen Clinics’ team of double-board certified physicians. What is GenStem Stem Cell Therapy, and how can it get you back in the game after a sports injury?
Anatomy of Injury
Different sports can be associated with different types of injuries, and can vary depending on factors like age, gender, and the types of associated movements or activities. Regardless of these variables, sports injuries are most often a result of direct trauma or repetitive stress to the soft tissues in our bodies, and less often as bone breaks:
- Ligaments can over-stretch resulting in sprains, and can even tear or rupture completely, which commonly happens in the knee and shoulder joints.
- Muscles and tendons can sprain, stretch or tear partially or completely, which usually happens above or below a joint.
- Inflammatory conditions like bursitis and tendonitis (tennis elbow), can result from overuse or the traumatic forces of jarring movements, and are typically complex, very painful, and depending on severity and duration of the condition, difficult to treat.
How can GenStem treat Sports Injuries?
- Because sports injuries tend to be complex and involve many moving parts, it’s essential to utilize a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to helping the body heal the problem at the source. GenStem, offered by the physicians at OrthoGen, is a multi-step regenerative program based on the latest advancements in medicine for maximum results:
- GenStem is designed around using the tremendous healing powers of highly potent stem cells. These important cells have the ability to transform or renew as other cells through a process called differentiation, and when they are injected into a damaged area, they can promote and support the natural healing processes already taking place for faster pain relief and more targeted improvement.
- The concentration of these stem cells is reviewed before application, to make sure that each patient can expect the best possible quality outcome. We then inject into the precise area needing the most support.
- GenStem uses advanced imaging technology to guide concentrated stem cells and blood platelets directly into the area of the injured tissues, which results in a reduction in inflammation, nourishment of the joint and dense tissues like ligaments and tendons, and provides a boost to the healing process.
