Regenerative medicine is a modern non-operative treatment solution utilizes the body’s natural healing process to rebuild damaged tissue, heal injuries more effectively, and eliminate pain. Regenerative medicine targets the underlying source of pain without relying on medication or surgery, and leads to increased function and mobility with a shorter recovery time than surgical options. At IVIV we offer these safe and effective outpatient procedures for a variety of joint, tendon, ligament, and conditions.
Many experts believe that the natural healing properties found in platelets and plasma facilitate healing and repair in damaged tendons. When treating a damaged tendon with platelet-rich plasma, the doctor injects PRP directly into the affected area. The goal is to:
✔︎ Reduce pain
✔︎ Improve joint function
✔︎ Repair damage to tendon tissue
