Regenerative Medicine Focused Library
Description
Regenerative Medicine is the branch of medicine that develops methods to regrow, repair or replace damaged or diseased cells, organs or tissues.
The goal of regenerative medicine is to support, stimulate, and enhance the body’s natural healing capabilities,
and to help repair defects that would not normally heal on their own.
• The best chance of success is autologous approach where patients provide their own cells for their own therapy.
This therapy helping stimulate the damaged cells to regenerate.
• The particular success has been seen in promoting accelerated healing in the joints and spinal discs. These
treatments can help patients in relieving their pain, restoring their function, and helping to avoid surgery.
