Stiff, achy joints can make everyday tasks challenging. If you’re dealing with chronic knee, shoulder, or other joint pain, traditional options like medications, injections, or even surgery may not always provide the relief you need.
Ioannis Skaribas, MD, DABA, FASA, of Expert Pain in Houston, Texas, uses regenerative medicine to change the approach to joint health. This innovative approach uses the body’s own healing power to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility.
Read on to learn if regenerative medicine could be the healing solution you’re looking for.
Regenerative medicine is a broad term that includes treatments designed to help your body heal itself.
Common approaches for joint pain include:
Dr. Skaribas injects concentrated platelets from your blood into your joint to promote healing.
Injections of specialized cells that can develop into healthy tissue repair damaged cartilage and joint structures.
Special solutions are injected to stimulate tissue repair and strengthen weakened ligaments.
Unlike traditional pain treatments that may mask symptoms, regenerative medicine aims to heal the underlying problem, leading to long-term relief.
Stiffness and pain often come from damaged cartilage, inflammation, or weakened tissues around the joint.
Regenerative treatments work by:
Patients often notice improvements in pain and mobility, sometimes within a few weeks, with continued benefits over the following months.
The regenerative medicine process is usually straightforward. It begins with a thorough consultation during which Dr. Skaribas evaluates your joint pain, medical history, and imaging to determine the best regenerative approach.
Depending on the therapy type, blood, bone marrow, or other tissue may be used to create the regenerative solution. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can gradually return to normal activities.
Improvement typically occurs within three to six weeks as the body begins to heal and inflammation decreases. Results often continue to build over several months, leading to longer-lasting pain relief and improved movement.
We monitor progress and may provide additional sessions if needed.
