| The Difference
At the Institute for Functional Health, we use Stem Cell Therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy to bring you back to peak condition. Stem cells are the undifferentiated biological cells from which we all begin. Stem cells act as a blank canvas, if you will, and they are flexible to become whatever cells are needed. Medical researchers determined that when these cells are introduced into a distressed joint, such as a knee with worn cartilage or a torn meniscus, these stem cells identify the need for specialized tissue and become that tissue. Similar to stem cells, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) also promotes the body’s own healing, but through a different mechanism.Your body’s first response to soft tissue injury is to deliver platelets. During PRP Therapy, we draw a small sample of your blood (similar to a lab test sample) and spin the blood at high speeds in a centrifuge, separating the platelets from the other components.The concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into and around the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body’s natural healing signal.
