| 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.
“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”
“I feel like I get much better care at the Institute for Functional Health than from my regular doctors. Much better. Dr.Salinas seems to actually care about me and my health. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes emails with my questions. He set me up with a personal contact with one of the trainers when I had difficulty with some of the exercises on the app. I am regaining my health day by day.”
“Dr. Torres has worked hard to help me reach my health goals. Only one major one left, but resounding success with all the rest. He listens and has good insight in how to get our bodies to respond.”
