Regenerative Therapy and Pain Relief [Video]

About the video: How quickly can regenerative medicine treatments provide relief?

Factors such as type of injection and what body part is needing the therapy, play a role in the time needed to feel pain relief. Listen to experts Andrew Clary, D.O. and Steven Stulc, D.O. discuss how quickly regenerative therapies can provide pain relief.

Video Transcription

The interesting part about regenerative medicine is that everybody’s different. Everyone has a different concentration of cells, has a different quality of cells, so their amount of healing is different. The initiation of pain relief typically depends on what product we’re using and what body part we’re putting it into. But, for an example, say the knee, with bone marrow aspirate concentrate, we may not be seeing any relief of knee pain until about the four- to six-week mark. By 12 weeks, things should be fairly maximally kicked in, but people can get a delayed benefit even from 12 weeks up to three or four months. Our hope is, with arthritic joints, that they might be able to get pain relief upwards of two years or more.
