Abstract Regenerative medicine is changing how clinicians think about musculoskeletal injuries, chronic joint pain, tissue damage, and recovery. Instead of focusing only on masking pain, treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet fibrin plasma (PFP), microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT), and selected medically indicated IV infusions may support the biological processes involved in healing. These treatments can deliver growth factors, signaling molecules, cells, nutrients, or other biological components that influence the tissue environment. Research suggests that some regenerative therapies can affect inflammatory signaling, blood vessel formation, cell communication, and tissue repair. However, most injectable regenerative therapies act primarily at the local treatment site , and claims that they broadly eliminate systemic inflammation should be viewed with caution . At Injury Medical Clinic PA in El Paso, Texas, this biological approac...
Abstract Motor vehicle accidents can place sudden and powerful forces on the body. These forces may twist, compress, stretch, or directly strike the knees, shoulders, hips, wrists, spine, and other joints. The result may be a joint trauma injury , including ligament tears, tendon injuries, cartilage damage, joint dislocations, muscle injuries, and spinal disc problems. A classic example is a “dashboard knee,” where the knee hits the dashboard, and the force may injure the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury. In El Paso, a multidisciplinary approach may bring together chiropractic care, rehabilitation, medical evaluation, functional medicine, pain management, and selected regenerative treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-fibrin products (PFP), and micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT). Other options may include epidural injections, trigger-point injections, shockwave therapy, and laser therapy when medically app...
