Q&A: Regenerative Medicine
Some of the world’s most well-known athletes have turned to regenerative medicine to relieve pain and heal from injuries faster, but this option is not just for the pros. Whether it’s PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections…
We use the latest innovations to treat a variety of conditions and injuries
The regenerative medicine program at Twin Cities Orthopedics offers outpatient, image-guided, minimally invasive treatment options that harness the body’s own natural healing process to treat a variety of conditions and orthopedic injuries.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP injections are used to treat a number of common orthopedic problems. PRP is a concentration of platelet cells found in your blood which have growth factors that may help in the healing process of chronic injuries. When these growth factors are injected into a chronically injured area, we hope to stimulate your body’s ability to heal the area by restarting the healing process.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
BMAC injections are used to treat osteoarthritis. BMAC contains mesenchymal stem cells, some of the growth factors found in platelet-rich plasma and key plasma proteins. BMAC injections may provide greater and longer-lasting intervals of pain relief than other traditional injections, such as corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections.
