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.
