Regenerative Medicine at The Gilead Healing Center
What is Regenerative Medicine?
What is regenerative medicine? This fast growing, highly effective treatment option utilizes various treatments that may include stem cells and growth factors including, umbilical allografts, amniotic fluid, mesenchymal stem cells and platelet rich plasma or PRP treatments to heal and restore your body to a healthy level. The very name indicates that regenerative medicine therapies help your body regenerate tissue, bone, discs, cartilage, and cells. This treatment option provides relief from injuries and chronic pain. Regenerative medicine is a natural solution that even helps combat the effects of aging.
Our doctor will design a customized treatment program just for you. A custom program is far more effective than a "one size fits all" treatment option. Our solutions are designed to help your body truly heal rather than simply mask your symptoms.
Is Stem Cell Therapy Regenerative Medicine?
Stem cell therapy is not regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine helps your body restore itself to a healthy state naturally. Patients in pain, those with wounds that won’t heal or with damaged cartilage, muscle or ligaments may return to normal life in a short time. Regenerative cell therapy may also help arthritic patients find relief from the swelling, pain and lack of mobility resulting from this condition. It will even help those that have had recent surgery heal more quickly and reduce scar tissue.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
The most active healing cells contained in your blood are called platelets. When your body signals that it is injured, platelets are attracted to the injured area. They then go to work repairing that area. To focus this healing power intensively on your injury, we extract a small quantity of your blood. The next step is to process it and isolate the platelets in clear plasma. This platelet-rich plasma will then be returned to your injured area. PRP treatments of knees, shoulders, muscles, tendons and other parts of the body have proven remarkably effective.
ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy)
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an advanced non-invasive medical treatment that has shown promising results in the field of regenerative medicine. It utilizes high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, promoting tissue regeneration and improving various musculoskeletal conditions. This informational material aims to provide you with an overview of ESWT, including its history, mechanism of action, and research demonstrating positive outcomes.
OMM (Osteopathic Manual Medicine)
OMM is a hands-on approach used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose, treat, and prevent musculoskeletal conditions. When combined with regenerative medicine procedures, OMM can enhance the effectiveness and outcomes of these treatments.
What Results can I Expect from Regenerative Medicine
