With Prolotherapy (also called Dextrose Prolotherapy), the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and vibrant, the pain is alleviated and motion is restored.\r\n\r\nWhether a joint, ligament or tendon is causing you pain or limited movement, Prolotherapy might be the right choice for you. Prolotherapy can help with arthritis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">knee injuries</a>, tendinitis (tennis elbow), hip dysfunction, bulging discs, lumbar or cervical spine instability, bursitis, ACL Tears, <a href=\"#\">rotator cuff injuries</a> and more.\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Treatment Repairs Joints and Relieves Pain</h4>\r\nProlotherapy\'s modern model was founded in the 1950s by Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall. But the notion of irritating an injured area to stimulate the body to heal itself goes back to ancient Greece. Prolotherapy helps your body make new cells. And it strengthens lax or torn tendons and ligaments. Ligaments are the tough tissues which connect bones to bones and tendons are the same kind of tissue which connect muscles to bones.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation and it is this lack of blood supply which deprives them of the nutrients they need to heal properly. These weakened areas may have <strong>little or no blood flow</strong>, but they have lots of nerves. That’s why you may feel a significant amount of pain.\r\n\r\nRelaxed and weak ligaments lead to increased cartilage degeneration and finally bone-on-bone friction, which may result in arthritis type pain. Additionally, nerves around the soft tissues become stretched and irritated, also producing pain.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-644\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple1\" width=\"200\" height=\"298\" />\r\n<h4>What is Prolotherapy Treatment Like?</h4>\r\nThe Prolotherapy technique involves the injection of a proliferant that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. A local anesthetic is used so there is <strong>minimal discomfort</strong> with the injections. This results in a stronger or larger tendon or ligament that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the <strong>patient\'s pain is reduced or eliminated</strong>.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is an excellent alternative to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Cortisone-Is-it-Really-Good-for-You\">cortisone injections</a>, which long-term studies have shown can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\nMost patients require about 4 to 6 Prolotherapy treatments to restore function and relieve pain, but many find improvement after only one session. The treatments are usually given at two to four week intervals.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy has been shown to be effective at eliminating the pain of such conditions as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, tendonitis, arthritis, sciatica, some headaches, degenerated joints, fibromyalgia, and more. And it is effective at treating many causes of chronic (and in some cases acute) back and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-neck-pain/\">neck pain</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">shoulder</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-knee-pain/\">knee</a> and other joint pain, tendonitis, and bursitis.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is a non-surgical treatment heartily endorsed by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who himself was a prolotherapist. The late diet guru Robert Atkins, M.D., also used \"prolo\" at his New York clinic and called it a miraculous treatment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Video: What is Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\n<div style=\"display: table; margin: 0 auto;\">[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"scdadG1A2Vk\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dextrose-Prolotherapy-Overview.jpg\" alt=\"Dextrose Prolotherapy Overview\"]</div>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/regenerative-techniques/prolotherapy-videos/\">View More Videos on Prolotherapy</a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\nCall <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a> today for a phone consultation to see if Prolotherapy treatment can get you pain free and ‘back in the game’ or help you resume your normal lifestyle.

Fields is also known as <strong> The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup>.</strong>\r\nHe not only treats athletes in his practice but is an athlete himself.\r\n<h5>How Doctor Fields Became  <strong class=\"subhead\">The Athletic Doc®.</strong></h5>\r\nFor over twenty years, Dr. Fields has been active in the sport of Triathlon which has lead to he became known as <strong>The Athletic Doc®</strong>. In July of 2017, he completed his ninth Ironman Triathlon. An Ironman Triathlon is a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run. Dr. Fields has competed in over 60 other Triathlons in his career, including eight half (70.3) Ironman competitions as well as numerous Olympic distance ones. He says that even with all the years of training and racing, he still enjoys the challenges of it all.\r\n\r\nWith a busy practice, Dr. Fields still makes time to work out. During the triathlon season, he can be found swimming, biking or running six to seven days a week in addition to a regime of active stretching twice a day.

He avoids processed foods, fried foods and white flour or white sugar products. <em>The Athletic Doc ®</em> also utilizes a daily vitamin and supplement regime as well as massage therapy, chiropractic and of course, <strong>Prolotherapy</strong> for those injuries that just won\'t heal. Plus he makes sure to get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water and have some quiet time in his life.\r\n\r\nDr. Fields is a nationally known <a href=\"#\">Prolotherapy</a> Doctor. For more severe injuries, Dr. Fields recommends <a href=\"#\">PRP Prolotherapy</a>, which uses a patient\'s own cells to stimulate healing.

With Prolotherapy (also called Dextrose Prolotherapy), the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and vibrant, the pain is alleviated and motion is restored.  <strong>IMAGE HERE</strong>\r\n\r\nWhether a joint, ligament or tendon is causing you pain or limited movement, Prolotherapy might be the right choice for you. Prolotherapy can help with arthritis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Sports-Injuries/Knee-Injuries\">knee injuries</a>, tendinitis (tennis elbow), hip dysfunction, bulging discs, lumbar or cervical spine instability, bursitis, ACL Tears, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff injuries</a> and more.\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Treatment Repairs Joints and Relieves Pain</h4>\r\n\r\nProlotherapy\'s modern model was founded in the 1950s by Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall, but the notion of irritating an injured area to stimulate the body to heal itself goes back to ancient Greece. Prolotherapy helps your body make new cells, which strengthen lax or torn tendons and ligaments (ligaments are the tough tissues which connect bones to bones and tendons are the same kind of tissue which connect muscles to bones).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"#\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation and it is this lack of blood supply which deprives them of the nutrients they need to heal properly. These weakened areas may have <strong>little or no blood flow</strong>, but they have lots of nerves. That’s why you may feel a significant amount of pain.\r\n\r\nRelaxed and weak ligaments lead to increased cartilage degeneration and finally bone-on-bone friction, which may result in arthritis type pain. Additionally, nerves around the soft tissues become stretched and irritated, also producing pain.\r\n\r\n<img title=\"Couple on Beach\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple on Beach\" />\r\n\r\n<h4>What is Prolotherapy Treatment Like?</h4>\r\n\r\nThe Prolotherapy technique involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.) that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. A local anesthetic is used so there is <strong>minimal discomfort</strong> with the injections. This results in a stronger or larger tendon or ligament that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the <strong>patient\'s pain is reduced or eliminated</strong>. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Cortisone-Is-it-Really-Good-for-You\">cortisone injections</a>, which long-term studies have shown can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\nMost patients require about 4 to 6 Prolotherapy treatments to restore function and relieve pain, but many find improvement after only one session. The treatments are usually given at two to four week intervals.\r\n\r\nIn addition to chronic (and in some cases acute) back and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Neck-Pain\">neck pain</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Shoulder-Pain\">shoulder</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Knee-Pain\">knee</a> and other joint pain, tendonitis and bursitis, prolotherapy has been shown to be effective at eliminating the pain of such conditions as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Sports-Injuries\">sports injuries</a>, tendonitis, arthritis, sciatica, some headaches, degenerated joints, fibromyalgia, and more.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is a non-surgical treatment heartily endorsed by former U.S. Surgeon General C.

Plus, we will elaborate on some Prolotherapy facts.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4832 alignright\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/prolojpg-500x498.png\" alt=\"Prolojpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"498\" />\r\n\r\n<strong> <a href=\"#1\">1) What does Prolotherapy treat?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#2\">2) How many Prolotherapy treatments will I need?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#3\">3) Will I need to continue care after treatment?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#4\">4) Is Prolotherapy the same thing as cortisone shots?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#5\">5) Are Prolotherapy treatments safe?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#6\">6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#7\">7) Will my insurance cover Prolotherapy treatments?

It is a non-surgical regenerative injection technique that introduces small amounts of solution to the site of painful and degenerated ligaments, their insertions (entheses), tendons, joints, and other joint structures. It usually takes place over several treatment sessions to promote the growth of normal cells and tissues.</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThe treatment stimulates the body\'s own natural healing processes in cases of chronic musculoskeletal pain and instability. It boosts the regenerative processes in the joint that will facilitate the repair and regrowth of connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons. And it will result in increased strength, repaired cartilage, and the stabilization of other joint structures to bring about the healing of the entire joint.\r\n\r\nThe healed ligaments and tendons produced after Prolotherapy appear much the same as normal tissues, except that they are thicker, stronger, and contain fibers of varying thickness, testifying to the new and ongoing creation of tissue.\r\n\r\n<strong>Learning points</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Prolotherapy is an in-office injection treatment that research and medical studies have shown to be an effective, trustworthy, reliable alternative to surgical and non-effective conservative care treatments.</li>\r\n 	<li>In our opinion, based on extensive research and clinical results, Prolotherapy can be superior to many other treatments in relieving the problems of chronic joint and spine pain and, most importantly, in getting people back to a happy and active lifestyle.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><em>What Joints Can Prolotherapy Treat?</em></h3>\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 125px;\">\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>knee</li>\r\n 	<li>ankle</li>\r\n 	<li>low back</li>\r\n 	<li>neck</li>\r\n 	<li>shoulder</li>\r\n 	<li>hip</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 125px;\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>foot</li>\r\n 	<li>wrist</li>\r\n 	<li>hand</li>\r\n 	<li>elbow</li>\r\n 	<li>sacroiliac</li>\r\n 	<li>ribs</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<h3><em>What Type of Pain or Injuries Can Prolotherapy Treatments Help?</em></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Athletic injuries, new and old</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Sciatica and Pinched Nerves</li>\r\n 	<li>Herniated and Degenerative Discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Whiplash injuries</li>\r\n 	<li>Tension and Migraine Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>TMJ syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Weak, loose, and unstable joints</li>\r\n 	<li>Fibromyalgia and Myofascial pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Muscle tightness, strain, and spasm</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"2\" name=\"2\"></a>2)</strong> <strong>How Many Prolotherapy Treatments Will I Need?</strong></h3>\r\nThe average person requires 6 treatment sessions given at 2 to 4-week intervals. But the number of treatments varies with each patient. Difficult (post-surgical, long-standing, etc) or other complicated cases may require 8, 10, or 12 treatments. Many patients feel the relief of pain after the 3rd or 4th treatment. Occasionally some of our patients have reported some relief of pain after only two sessions.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"3\" name=\"3\"></a>3) Will I Need to Continue Care after Treatment?</strong></h3>\r\nOnce treated, the problem should be fixed. Healing will continue to take place for at least one year following treatment. Of course, if there is an injury or insult to the area treated, additional treatment may be needed.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"4\" name=\"4\"></a>4) Is Prolotherapy the Same Thing as Cortisone Shots</strong><strong>?</strong></h3>\r\nLong-term studies have shown that cortisone injections actually weaken tissue. On the other hand, Prolotherapy uses proliferants, which cause the ligaments and tendons to be strengthened. Cortisone is one injection. But Prolotherapy consists of multiple injections to an area so as to induce healing in the biggest area possible.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"5\" name=\"5\"></a>5) Are Prolotherapy Treatments Safe?</strong></h3>\r\nProlotherapy is an extremely safe procedure. As with any procedure, there are risks and side effects which will vary depending on the area being treated. The doctor will discuss these possibilities fully with patients during the pre-treatment consultation. The risks with Prolotherapy than surgery, and even less than taking aspirin or Motrin for a lifetime to temporarily alleviate chronic pain.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></h3>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"6\" name=\"6\"></a>6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</strong></h3>\r\nAs many of my patients have said, \"the pain from the injections was nothing compared to the pain that I was experiencing prior to Prolotherapy\". Most say after the Prolotherapy treatment, \"It wasn\'t that bad.\" There are a few people, however, who may need help in receiving Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\nFor those patients that find Prolotherapy uncomfortable, Dr. Fields can also apply a cold spray (ethyl Chloride) or a gel of Lidocaine to numb the skin prior to the treatment. If additional help is needed, a prescription can be given for Ultram, Tylenol with codeine, or Vicodin. This can be taken one hour prior to your Prolotherapy treatment. Additionally, we have calming music to listen to, stress balls, and hot packs to help ease one\'s mind during the treatment. <strong>Ninety-nine percent of our patients receive treatments without painkillers and do just fine. </strong>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></h3>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"7\" name=\"7\"></a>7) Will My Insurance Cover Prolotherapy? What Are the Fees?</strong></h3>\r\nFor information regarding insurance and fees <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/common-questions/\">Click Here</a> to visit our common questions section.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></h3>\r\n<h3><strong><a id=\"8\" name=\"8\"></a>8) Is It Advisable to Drive or Work after Prolotherapy?</strong></h3>\r\nYou can drive after you receive Prolotherapy. However, you may feel a little stiff but will be able to continue with your activities of daily living.  Keep in mind that getting your neck done is different than, say, receiving Prolotherapy to your hand. Your neck will be stiff after treatment, which means it will be difficult to turn to the left and to the right. Having a driver would be a good idea.\r\n\r\nThe same goes with being capable of working.  Most of us are able to go back to work after the treatment. There are no work restrictions. However, depending on your type of work, you may want to rest afterward. Overall, it would be advisable to have a driver for your first treatment to see how you personally feel afterward and make the appropriate decision.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Prolotherapy Treatment Facts','','publish','open','closed','','prolotherapy-facts','','','2021-08-22 23:30:07','2021-08-22 23:30:07','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?p=395',0,'post','',0),(396,8,'2019-06-08 05:06:06','2019-06-08 05:06:06','&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h4>The Athletic Doc<sup>®</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_374\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"250\"]<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/dr-fields-pete-jacobs-small.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Fields Pete Jacobs Small\" width=\"250\" height=\"185\" class=\"size-full wp-image-374\" /><strong> Pete Jacobs 2012 Ironman\r\nWorld Champion\r\n&amp; Dr. Peter A Fields</strong>[/caption]Dr. Peter A.

Difficult (post surgical, long standing, etc) or other complicated cases may require 8, 10 or 12 treatments. Many patients feel relief of pain after the 3rd or 4th treatment. Occasionally some of our patients have reported some relief of pain after only two sessions.\r\n<div><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"3\" name=\"3\"></a>3) Will I need to continue care after treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nOnce treated, the problem should be fixed. Healing will continue to take place for at least one year following treatment. Of course, if there is an injury or insult to the area treated, an additional treatment maybe needed\r\n<div><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"4\" name=\"4\"></a>4) Is this the same thing as cortisone shots</strong><strong>?</strong>\r\nLong term studies have shown that cortisone injections actually weaken tissue. On the other hand, Prolotherapy uses proliferants, which cause the ligaments and tendons to be strengthened. Cortisone is one injection; Prolotherapy is multiple injections to an area so as to induce healing in the biggest area possible.\r\n<div><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"5\" name=\"5\"></a>5) Is Prolotherapy safe?</strong>\r\nAs with any procedure, there are risks and side effects which will vary depending on the area being treated. The doctor will discuss these possibilities fully with patients during the pre-treatment consultation. On the other hand, Prolotherapy is an extremely safe procedure. The risks are far less than taking aspirin or Motrin for a lifetime to temporarily alleviate chronic pain.\r\n<div><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"6\" name=\"6\"></a>6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</strong>\r\n\r\nAs many of my patients have said, \"the pain from the injections was nothing compared to the pain that I was experiencing prior to Prolotherapy\". Most say after the Prolotherapy treatment, \"It wasn\'t that bad.\" There are a few people, however, who may need help in receiving Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\nFor those patients that find Prolotherapy uncomfortable, Dr. Fields can also apply a cold spray (ethyl Chloride) or a gel of Lidocaine to numb the skin prior to the treatment. If additional help is needed, a prescription can be given for Ultram, Tylenol with codeine or Vicodin. This can be taken one hour prior to your Prolotherapy treatment. Additionally, we have calming music to listen to, stress balls, and hot packs to help ease one\'s mind during the treatment. <strong>Ninety-nine percent of our patients receive the treatments without pain killers and do just fine. </strong>\r\n<div><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"7\" name=\"7\"></a>7) Will my insurance cover this and what are the fees?</strong>\r\nFor information regarding insurence and fees <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Our-Office/Common-Questions\">Click Here</a> to visit out common questions section.\r\n<div><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"8\" name=\"8\"></a>8) Is it advisable to drive or work after Prolotherapy?</strong>\r\nYou can drive after you receive Prolotherapy.

Apply moist heat to the area every 20-30 minutes too. If that does not work, which it usually does in 90% of the cases, you can call the office for a prescription pain medicine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Numbness: </strong> You may notice some numbness post treatment. This is not unusual as we have nerves all over our bodies and a needle may have irritated one. If this happens, your nerve will heal itself over time. Contact us if burning pain is noted, as medication is important for that symptom.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bruising: </strong> Bruising is quite common; do not be alarmed by it. Bruising is good for us, as it has growth factors in it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Exercising:  </strong>Exercising is encouraged, but please do not over do it. Pay attention to what your body tells you. If it hurts, take a break! Do not push yourself just because you feel better. You may pay for it later. Use heat to help calm pain or spasms.\r\n\r\n<strong>Remember that the use of anti-inflammatory medicines and ice are contraindicated.</strong>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>','Post Treatment','','publish','open','closed','','post-treatment','','','2021-01-28 20:23:35','2021-01-28 20:23:35','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?p=408',0,'post','',0),(409,8,'2019-06-08 05:22:17','2019-06-08 05:22:17','&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h4>The Athletic Doc<sup>®</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_374\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"250\"]<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/dr-fields-pete-jacobs-small.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Fields Pete Jacobs Small\" width=\"250\" height=\"185\" class=\"size-full wp-image-374\" /><strong> Pete Jacobs 2012 Ironman\r\nWorld Champion\r\n&amp; Dr. Peter A Fields</strong>[/caption]Dr. Peter A. Fields is also known as <strong> The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup>.</strong>\r\nHe not only treats athletes in his practice but is an athlete himself.\r\n<h5>How Doctor Fields Became  <strong class=\"subhead\">The Athletic Doc®.</strong></h5>\r\nFor over twenty years, Dr. Fields has been active in the sport of Triathlon which has lead to he became known as <strong>The Athletic Doc®</strong>. In July of 2017, he completed his ninth Ironman Triathlon. An Ironman Triathlon is a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run. Dr. Fields has competed in over 60 other Triathlons in his career, including eight half (70.3) Ironman competitions as well as numerous Olympic distance ones. He says that even with all the years of training and racing, he still enjoys the challenges of it all.\r\n\r\nWith a busy practice, Dr. Fields still makes time to work out. During the triathlon season, he can be found swimming, biking or running six to seven days a week in addition to a regime of active stretching twice a day. On most weekends, Dr. Fields can be found on long training rides with the Los Angeles Triathlon Club. He is not only a member of the LA TRI Club but a sponsor too. Besides being outdoors and keeping himself very physically active, Dr. Fields also enjoys the camaraderie of his training partners. In addition to the sport of Triathlon, Dr. Fields is a competitive tennis player and participates in several other athletic activities including skiing, lifting weights, scuba diving, and hiking to name just a few.\r\n<h5> <strong class=\"subhead\">The Athletic Doc®</strong> Keeps Active and Fit to Maintain Optimal Health </h5>\r\nDr. Fields finds that keeping fit and active is not only important in keeping him in top physical shape but also in staying in touch with those patients that are, or want to be, active. To keep his body at maximum efficiency and maintain optimal health, Dr. Fields eats a very healthy diet which includes lots of organic fruits and vegetables and other whole food products.

This could last from 2 to 7 days. If it lasts longer it is best to call back and keep us informed on how you are doing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Driving and working</strong>: You can drive after you receive Prolotherapy. You may feel a little stiff but will be able to continue with your activities of daily living. We do suggest walking for about five minutes before driving. You will also be capable of working. There are no work restrictions. You may choose not to work if your job involves a lot of standing or lifting.<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright\" title=\"Prolotherapy\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/prolotherapy/prolotherapy-3.jpg\" alt=\"Prolotherapy\" /><strong>Pain Medication:</strong> Try Tylenol or Tylenol extra strength first. Apply moist heat to the area every 20-30 minutes too. If that does not work, which it usually does in 90% of the cases, you can call the office for a prescription pain medicine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Numbness: </strong> You may notice some numbness post treatment. This is not unusual as we have nerves all over our bodies and a needle may have irritated one. If this happens, your nerve will heal itself over time. Contact us if burning pain is noted, as medication is important for that symptom.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bruising: </strong> Bruising is quite common; do not be alarmed by it. Bruising is good for us, as it has growth factors in it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Exercising:  </strong>Exercising is encouraged, but please do not over do it. Pay attention to what your body tells you. If it hurts, take a break! Do not push yourself just because you feel better. You may pay for it later. Use heat to help calm pain or spasms.\r\n\r\n<strong>Remember that the use of anti-inflammatory medicines and ice are contraindicated.</strong>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Post Treatment','','inherit','closed','closed','','408-revision-v1','','','2019-06-08 05:24:14','2019-06-08 05:24:14','',408,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/408-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(412,8,'2019-06-08 05:25:13','2019-06-08 05:25:13','&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h4>The Athletic Doc<sup>®</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_374\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"250\"]<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/dr-fields-pete-jacobs-small.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Fields Pete Jacobs Small\" width=\"250\" height=\"185\" class=\"size-full wp-image-374\" /><strong> Pete Jacobs 2012 Ironman\r\nWorld Champion\r\n&amp; Dr. Peter A Fields</strong>[/caption]Dr. Peter A.

Then imagine for a moment that you can avoid joint surgery with a few simple injections. <strong>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments</strong> (also known as PRP Injections, PRP Therapy, or PRP Prolotherapy) are treatments for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury or pain that can help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with joint surgery.\r\n<h4>Why Do Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments Work?</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_642\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"200\"]<img class=\"wp-image-642 size-full\" title=\"prp acl repair\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/running.jpg\" alt=\"Running\" width=\"200\" height=\"265\" /> <em>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments can help to keep you running</em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nYour blood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that can greatly and naturally accelerate the normal healing process. The use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments vs. Dextrose Prolotherapy Treatment</h4>\r\nThe main difference between PRP Prolotherapy treatment and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> treatment is the solution being used. Dextrose Prolotherapy involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.), which causes an inflammatory response that stimulates the healing process.\r\n\r\nBy contrast, the PRP treatment solution is derived from your own blood. A small amount of your own blood is drawn, and after filtering out the rest of the cells and plasma, a small amount of platelets remain. This highly concentrated amount of platelets — from 7 to 10 times that of normal blood — can be injected into the damaged areas and catalyze new soft-tissue growth.\r\n\r\nThe use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\r\n<h4>Which Treatment is Right For Me?</h4>\r\nMost organizations and the physicians associated with them teach Prolotherapy, and PRP agree that <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> should be tried first.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>It is less painful.</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Prolotherapy primes the area that is damaged, which PRP does not.\r\n</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>It is less expensive.</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSince Prolotherapy can usually fix at least 80 - 85% of injuries, it is the first best choice. If healing is not attained with Prolotherapy, then PRP would be your next logical choice.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4>PRP Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions</h4>\r\n<h4><em><strong>What is PRP Treatment?</strong></em></h4>\r\nPRP, as used in Regenerative Orthopedics, is a non-surgical healing treatment for healing soft tissue. The solution is injected into the affected region to stimulate and enhance healing. PRP is your own blood concentrated so that more platelets (AKA growth factors) that are normally found in your blood are obtained.\r\n<h4><em>What does PRP mean?</em></h4>\r\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood that contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The Harvest Method that OrthoRegen and Peter A. Fields, MD, DC uses concentrates the platelets 7-10 times of what is normally found in the blood. Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\r\n<h4><em>What conditions are treated with PRP?</em></h4>\r\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci, or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures treated. PRP has also been effective in treating arthritis.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-712 size-full alignleft\" title=\"prp acl repair\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/fully_body_joints.jpg\" alt=\"Fully Body Joints\" width=\"200\" height=\"376\" />\r\n<h3>What are some common diagnoses treated with PRP?</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Knees: meniscus, ACL, MCL LCL, arthritis, knee cap instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Tears, labrum tears, tenositis</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip: labrum, tenositis, bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Low Back: Facet joints, arthritis, Sacro-Iliac dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Ankle/Foot: Achilles dysfunction, tendonitis, arthritis, ankle sprains</li>\r\n 	<li>Wrist/Hand finger/joint tendinitis, ligament tears, arthritis, carpal tunnel</li>\r\n 	<li>Elbow: Tennis elbow (later epicondylitis, golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>How is PRP treatment administered?</h3>\r\nThe patient’s blood is collected and then spun in a centrifuge specifically designed to concentrate platelets. Then, a local anesthetic is provided to the affected region. The PRP is then injected into the affected area.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Is PRP curative?</h3>\r\nPRP actually heals the injured region. Unlike pharmaceutical medications, like ibuprofen or cortisone, which may just take the pain away but cannot heal the injury.\r\n<h3>How does PRP work to heal?</h3>\r\nGrowth Factors are released from large quantities of activated platelets at the site of injury. This leads to a reaction that initiates a healing cascade. Growth factors stimulate and promote healing of weakened, torn, or damaged soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments, meniscus, or labrum.\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h3>Is PRP painful?</h3>\r\nPatients typically tolerate the procedure well, although post-injection soreness is sometimes experienced.\r\n<h3>How many PRP treatments do you need?</h3>\r\nTwo to four treatments are needed depending on the degree of injury and how long the injury has been there.\r\n<h3>How far apart are PRP treatments spaced?</h3>\r\nTypically about every 6 weeks if indicated.<img class=\"alignright wp-image-644 size-full\" title=\"prp acl repair\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple1\" width=\"200\" height=\"298\" />\r\n<h3>What can you expect after getting PRP?</h3>\r\nFor the first 48 hours, swelling and mild discomfort are typical in the injected area. Therefore, all patients are provided with pain medicine after PRP. By day 3, these symptoms will begin to resolve substantially.\r\n<h3>Are there side effects/complications of PRP?</h3>\r\nMinimal side effects have been observed with treatment. Any stiffness or discomfort reported after PRP should resolve with time.\r\n<h3>How long does it take the PRP to “work”?</h3>\r\nMost patients notice some element of improvement by 2-6 weeks after PRP treatment.

told you need joint surgery? Then imagine for a moment that you can avoid joint surgery with a few simple injections. <strong>PRP Treatments</strong> (also known as PRP Injections, PRP Therapy or PRP Prolotherapy) is a treatment for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury or pain that can help you avoid the pain, complications and recovery time associated with joint surgery.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Does PRP Treatment Work?</h4>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright\" title=\"A Girl is Running\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/running.jpg\" alt=\"A Girl is Running\" />Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that have the potential to greatly accelerate the normal healing process, naturally. The use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair, and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments and joints.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h2>PRP Treatment vs Dextrose Prolotherapy Treatment</h2>\r\n\r\nThe main difference between PRP Prolotherapy treatment and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">dextrose Prolotherapy</a> treatment is the solution being used. Dextrose Prolotherapy involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.) that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. By contrast, the PRP treatment solution is derived from your own blood.  A small amount of your own blood is drawn, and after filtering out the rest of the cells and plasma, a small amount of platelets remain. This highly concentrated amount of platelets — from 7 to 10 times that of normal blood — can be injected into the damaged areas and catalyze the growth of new soft-tissue.\r\n\r\nBlood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site.

If healing is not attained with Prolotherapy, then PRP would be your next logical choice.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h2>PRP Treatment Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>What is PRP Treatment?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP as used in regenerative orthopedics is a non-surgical healing treatment for healing soft tissue. PRP is injected into the affected region to stimulate and enhance healing. PRP is your own blood concentrated so that more platelets (AKA growth factors) that are normally found in your blood are obtained.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>What does PRP mean?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood which contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells and platelets. The Harvest method that Dr Fields uses concentrates the platelets 7-10 times of what is normally found in blood. Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>What conditions are treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures that are treated. PRP has also been effective in treating arthritis.</div>\r\n<div class=\"Normal\"><img class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Full Body Joints\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/fully_body_joints.jpg\" alt=\"Full Body Joints\" />\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>What are some common diagnoses treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Knees: meniscus, ACL, MCL LCL, arthritis, knee cap instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Tears, labrum tears, tenositis</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip: labrum, tenositis, Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Low Back: Facet joints, arthritis, Sacro-Iliac dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Ankle/Foot: Achilles dysfunction, tendonitis, arthritis, ankle sprains</li>\r\n 	<li>Wrist/Hand finger/joint tendinitis, ligament tears, arthritis, carpel tunnel</li>\r\n 	<li>Elbow: Tennis elbow (later epicondylitis, golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>How is PRP treatment administered?</strong></h3>\r\nThe patient’s blood is collected and then spun in a centrifuge specifically designed to concentrate platelets. Second, a local anaesthetic is provided to the affected region. The PRP is then injected into the affected area.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Is PRP curative?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP actually heals the injured region. Unlike pharmaceutical medications like ibuprofen or cortisone which just take the pain away but do not heal the injury.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>How does PRP work to heal?</strong></h3>\r\nGrowth Factors are released from large quantities of activated platelets at the site of injury. This leads to a reaction that initiates a healing cascade. Growth factors stimulate promote stimulate healing of weakened, torn or damaged soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments, meniscus or labrum.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Is PRP painful?</strong></h3>\r\nPatients typically tolerate the procedure well although post-injection soreness is sometimes experienced.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>How many PRP treatments do you need?</strong></h3>\r\nTwo to four treatments depending on the degree of injury and how long the injury has been there.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>How far apart are PRP treatments spaced?</strong></h3>\r\nTypically about every 6 weeks if indicated.<img class=\"alignright\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"PRP Treatment Questions\" />\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>What can you expect after getting PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nFor the first 48 hours, swelling and mild discomfort are typical in the injected area. Therefore, all patients are provided with pain medicine after PRP. By day 3, these symptoms will begin to substantially resolve.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Are there side effects/complications of PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nMinimal side effects have been observed with treatment. Any stiffness or discomfort reported after PRP should resolve with time.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>How long does it take the PRP to “work”?</strong></h3>\r\nMost patients notice some element of improvement by 2-6 weeks after PRP treatment. Symptom improvement is slow and subtle as days and weeks pass, with a usual report of original pain being lessened over time. Increased endurance and strength are typically reported.\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in the News:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Health/PainNews/story?id=6895441&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Idea: Healing Injuries, Arthritis with Blood (Good Morning America)</a>\r\n</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/05/eveningnews/main2889125.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Body, Heal Thyself (CBS News)</a>\r\n</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/plasma-helps-hines-ward-super-article-1.392694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plasma Helps Athlete be Super (New York Daily News)</a>\r\n</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n','PRP Treatment','','inherit','closed','closed','','414-revision-v1','','','2019-06-08 05:44:21','2019-06-08 05:44:21','',414,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/414-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(427,8,'2019-06-14 06:29:00','2019-06-14 06:29:00','<h4>PRP Platelet Rich Plasma</h4>\n\nHave you been told you need joint surgery?

Dextrose Prolotherapy involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.) that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. By contrast, the PRP treatment solution is derived from your own blood.  A small amount of your own blood is drawn, and after filtering out the rest of the cells and plasma, a small amount of platelets remain.

Cutting out a part of a joint or injecting it with steroids is not the answer. Stem Cell Treatment for Joints is the answer. </i>\r\n\r\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Testimonials/Cellular-Regeneration-Testimonials/\">Testimonials Page</a>.\r\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment in Los Angeles?</h4>\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-5586\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/stem-cells.1-400x500.png\" alt=\"Stem Cells.1\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nOur Stem Cell technique for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to produce a solution with the highest amount of stem cells.

This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once the surgery is done, it cannot be undone!</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within the bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross-reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments, and more.  All this allows for the repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone, and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments, and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand, adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle, or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate the above tissues and to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-5587 size-medium alignleft\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/stem-cells.-1-500x500.png\" alt=\"Stem Cells.\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nNot all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries, or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulate full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies have been done using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers successfully studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-735 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity, and marrow-stimulation procedures such as microfracture, osteochondral grafts, and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients, the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n<h3><strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong></h3>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near-normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\r\n\r\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1-year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\r\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\r\n\r\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

Last year in the US, there were 3.5 million total joint replacements and another 35 million joint surgeries. Surgery can always be done but never un-done, which is why people in increasing numbers are seeking non-surgical alternatives to joint and spine surgery. Cutting out a part of a joint or injecting it with steroids is not the answer. Stem Cell Treatment for Joints is the answer. </em>\r\n\r\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"#\">Testimonials Page</a>.\r\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment?</h4>\r\nStem Cell Treatment for Joints and Spine is a great alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery. At OrthoRegen, we utilize the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Treatments, which is an effective non-surgical alternative, and one that very well may help you<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em></span>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\r\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\r\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n...you now have another option.\r\n\r\nThat\'s because your Stem Cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. Their use in regenerative medicine is growing in popularity in the medical world as an <em>alternative to invasive orthopedic surgeries including total joint replacement</em>. The remarkable thing about Stem Cells is the fact that when you inject them into a specific area of the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs – for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells.\r\n\r\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\r\nOur Stem Cell technique we use for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to get a solution with the highest amount of stem cells. We inject both of these sources of stem cells into the joint.</li>\r\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/PRP-Treatment\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\r\n 	<li>In addition, we use <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> on the outside of the joint to help stabilize the ligaments and tendons that hold the joint in place.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing two sources of stem cells (bone and fat) as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Dextrose Prolotherapy is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration.\r\n\r\nAgain, this procedure is usually used for cases where you have been told to have their joint replaced, have bone-on-bone, advanced arthritis, severe meniscus or labral tear or other aggressive injuries. This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgLeft\" title=\"Stem Cell\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell treatment for joints\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/PRP-Prolotherapy\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgRight\" title=\"Stem Cells\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cells\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n\r\n<strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\r\n\r\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1 year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\r\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\r\n\r\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\n\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell1\"  class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-732\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\n\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\n\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\n\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-735\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\n\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong>\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\n\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1 year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\n\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

Last year in the US, there were 3.5 million total joint replacements and another 35 million joint surgeries. Surgery can always be done but never un-done, which is why people in increasing numbers are seeking non-surgical alternatives to joint and spine surgery. Cutting out a part of a joint or injecting it with steroids is not the answer. Stem Cell Treatment for Joints is the answer. </em>\r\n\r\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"#\">Testimonials Page</a>.\r\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment?</h4>\r\nStem Cell Treatment for Joints and Spine is a great alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery. At OrthoRegen, we utilize the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Treatments, which is an effective non-surgical alternative, and one that very well may help you<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em></span>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\r\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\r\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n...you now have another option.\r\n\r\nThat\'s because your Stem Cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. Their use in regenerative medicine is growing in popularity in the medical world as an <em>alternative to invasive orthopedic surgeries including total joint replacement</em>. The remarkable thing about Stem Cells is the fact that when you inject them into a specific area of the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs – for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells.\r\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\r\nOur Stem Cell technique we use for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to get a solution with the highest amount of stem cells. We inject both of these sources of stem cells into the joint.</li>\r\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/PRP-Treatment\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\r\n 	<li>In addition, we use <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> on the outside of the joint to help stabilize the ligaments and tendons that hold the joint in place.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing two sources of stem cells (bone and fat) as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Dextrose Prolotherapy is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration.\r\n\r\nAgain, this procedure is usually used for cases where you have been told to have their joint replaced, have bone-on-bone, advanced arthritis, severe meniscus or labral tear or other aggressive injuries. This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells).

Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgLeft alignleft\" title=\"Stem Cell\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell treatment for joints\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/PRP-Prolotherapy\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgRight alignleft\" title=\"Stem Cells\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cells\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\r\n\r\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1 year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\r\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\r\n\r\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

Is your Chronic Pain changing your lifestyle and preventing you from doing the things you want to do? If it has, then a doctor might have told you that you need to have surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone injections or take dangerous NSAIDS to treat your chronic pain. In many cases, those may not be the best treatments. Depending on the nature of your injury, you may be able to <strong>treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy</strong>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>What is Pain?</h4>\r\nPain can be defined as a feeling of distress, suffering, or agony, caused by stimulation of specialized nerve endings in the body, resulting from injury or disease. Receptors for pain are found in the skin and other tissues are nerve fibres that react to stimuli. Pain impulses enter the spinal cord and are transmitted to your brain, where they are interpreted as pain. The purpose of pain in a person’s body is chiefly protective; pain acts as a warning that tissues are being damaged. This tissue damage can be actual or potential.\r\n<h4>Acute Pain vs Chronic Pain</h4>\r\nThere are two general categories of pain: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is intense and can last from a few seconds to hours or days. This severe pain should wane as healing of the injury or disease occurs. Chronic pain however, can range from mild to severe and can last weeks, months or longer. Chronic pain is pain that continues or recurs over a prolonged period. Under certain conditions the pain receptors in the body become more sensitive over a period of time. This means that as long as a traumatic stimulus persists, you will continue to be aware that damage to the tissues may still be occurring.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>Why Am I Still In Pain?</h4>\r\nYou might wonder why there is still pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after healing for weeks, months or years. The answer is that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation. This lack of blood supply deprives these tissues of nutrients they need to heal properly.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> builds stronger or larger tendons or ligaments that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the patient’s pain is reduced or eliminated. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to cortisone injections, which long-term studies show, can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>Who Uses Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-5755 alignright\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Back-Pain.-Prolotherapy-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Back Pain. Prolotherapy\" width=\"415\" height=\"310\" />\r\n\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not deal with the cause of the pain. Most of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Athletes with sports injuries are especially interested in the use of Prolotherapy for treatment because it is an alternative to surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone shots, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatories, and chronic use of narcotic pain medications. These measures may not help, and often hinder or even prevent the healing process.\r\n\r\nDo you suffer from <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-knee-pain/\">chronic knee pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">Chronic shoulder pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-neck-pain/\">Chronic neck pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-elbow-pain/\">Chronic elbow pain</a>? Or is your chronic pain somewhere else in your body, such as your back, hips, or ankles? Wherever it is, Dr. Fields may be able to treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy.\r\n<h4>Why Prolotherapy Works</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\nThe potential for Prolotherapy to eliminate chronic pain is very high, especially in sports injuries that are a result of ligament and tendon weakness. Prolotherapy can regenerate damaged tissues and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain. Our goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working and training during the recovery process. It is one treatment that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after Prolotherapy.\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate For Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nWhether your pain is from a back injury, a work-related injury, or a sports injury, you can treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Contact us for a consultation</a> to see if you are a candidate or get a second opinion for a recommended surgery.

Is your Chronic Pain changing your lifestyle and preventing you from doing the things you want to do? If it has, then a doctor might have told you that you need to have surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone injections or take dangerous NSAIDS to treat your chronic pain. In many cases, those may not be the best treatments. Depending on the nature of your injury, you may be able to <strong>treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy</strong>.\r\n<h4>What is Pain?</h4>\r\nPain can be defined as a feeling of distress, suffering, or agony, caused by stimulation of specialized nerve endings in the body, resulting from injury or disease. Pain receptors, found in the skin and other tissues are nerve fibers that react to stimuli. Pain impulses enter the spinal cord and are transmitted to your brain, where they are interpreted as pain. The purpose of pain in a person’s body is chiefly protective; pain acts as a warning that tissues are being damaged. This tissue damage can be actual or potential.\r\n<h4>Acute Pain vs Chronic Pain</h4>\r\nThere are two general categories of pain: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is intense and can last from a few seconds to hours or days. This severe pain should wane as healing of the injury or disease occurs. Chronic pain however, can range from mild to severe and can last weeks, months or longer. Chronic pain is pain that continues or recurs over a prolonged period. Under certain conditions the pain receptors in the body become more sensitive over a period of time. This means that as long as a traumatic stimulus persists, you will continue to be aware that damage to the tissues may still be occurring.\r\n<h4>Why Am I Still In Pain?</h4>\r\nYou might wonder why there is still pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after healing for weeks, months or years. The answer is that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation. This lack of blood supply deprives these tissues of nutrients they need to heal properly.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a> builds stronger or larger tendons or ligaments that can hold body structures in place more effectively.

This means that as long as a traumatic stimulus persists, you will continue to be aware that damage to the tissues may still be occurring.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Am I Still In Pain?</h4>\r\nYou might wonder why there is still pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after healing for weeks, months or years. The answer is that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation. This lack of blood supply deprives these tissues of nutrients they need to heal properly.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a> builds stronger or larger tendons or ligaments that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the patient’s pain is reduced or eliminated. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to cortisone injections, which long-term studies show, can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\n<h4>Who Uses Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not deal with the cause of the pain. Most of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Athletes with sports injuries are especially interested in the use of Prolotherapy for treatment because it is an alternative to surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone shots, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatories, and chronic use of narcotic pain medications. These measures may not help, and often hinder or even prevent the healing process.\r\n\r\nDo you suffer from <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Knee-Pain\">chronic knee pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Shoulder-Pain\">Chronic shoulder pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Neck-Pain\">Chronic neck pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Elbow-Pain\">Chronic elbow pain</a>? Or is your chronic pain somewhere else in your body, such as your back, hips, or ankles? Wherever it is, Dr. Fields may be able to treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Prolotherapy Works</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\nThe potential for Prolotherapy to eliminate chronic pain is very high, especially in sports injuries that are a result of ligament and tendon weakness. Prolotherapy can regenerate damaged tissues and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain. Our goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working and training during the recovery process. It is one treatment that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate For Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nWhether your chronic pain is from a back injury, a work-related injury, or a sports injury, you can treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Contact-Us\">Contact us for a consultation</a> to see if you are a candidate or get a second opinion for a recommended surgery.

To be engaged in everyday activities -- standing, walking, running, and even lying down -- you need to have normal knee function. But if you have chronic pain in your knee, you are prevented from doing all of that and more. Moreover, many conventional treatments include surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone, and NSAIDS, but sometimes those treatments can hurt more than they help. That is why so many people turn to Regenerative Orthopedics to treat persistent joint pain.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>What Causes Knee Pain?</h4>\r\nThe knee begins at the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), which rotates on the shin\'s upper end (tibia). The knee cap (patellae) slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Large ligaments attach the femur to the tibia, providing stability to the leg.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of knee pain are arthritis. For example, if you are experiencing minor pain, clicking, giving way, or ‘trick knee,’ you may be feeling the first symptoms of arthritis. Plus, arthritis can begin in people as early as thirty years of age. And this may progress for years before symptoms appear. Acute knee pain, sudden and intense, is usually the result of an injury. Acute knee pain, accompanied by significant inflammation and swelling, can be caused by gout or even infection.\r\n\r\nThe most common cause of long-lasting or chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. And other forms of arthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty, can also cause chronic pain in the knee joint. Additionally, pseudogout, bursitis, tendonitis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, degenerative joint disease, and chondromalacia patellae can also cause knee pain. As we age, the smooth and resilient cartilage on our long bones\' ends wears down, but this cartilage is needed for normal joint function.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>How Does Regenerative Orthopedics Work for Chronic Knee Pain?</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not take care of the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nPatients with pain in almost any joint in the body can now <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-pain-overview/\">treat their chronic pain with Regenerative Orthopedics</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular joint pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons, and possibly cartilage. Regenerative Orthopedics, including Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain. And studies show that the use of dextrose prolotherapy is supported for treatment of tendinopathies and knee osteoarthritis, as a result of ligament dysfunction.1\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4809\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4809\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Knee.-Prolo-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Knee.

To be engaged in everyday activities -- standing, walking, running, and even lying down -- you need to have normal knee function. But if you have chronic pain in your knee, you\'re prevented from doing all of that and more. Many conventional treatments include surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone and NSAIDS, but sometimes those treatments can hurt more than they help. That is why so many people turn to Prolotherapy for Chronic Knee Pain treatment.\r\n\r\n<h4>What Causes Knee Pain?</h4>\r\nThe knee is begins at the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shin (tibia). The knee cap (patellae), slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Large ligaments attach the femur to the tibia, providing stability to the leg.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of knee pain are arthritis. If you are experiencing minor knee pain, clicking, giving way or ‘trick knee’, you may be feeling the first symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin in people as early as thirty years of age, and this may progress for years before symptoms appear. Acute knee pain, sudden and intense, is usually the result of an injury. Acute knee pain accompanied by significant inflammation and swelling, can be caused by gout or even infection. Chronic osteoarthritis can also be the cause of occasional acute knee pain.\r\n\r\nThe most common cause of long-lasting or chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. Other forms of arthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty, can also cause chronic pain in the knee joint. Pseudo gout, bursitis, tendonitis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Sports-Injuries\">sports injuries</a>, degenerative joint disease and chondromalacia patellae can be other causes of knee pain. As we age the smooth and resilient cartilage on the ends of our long bones, wears down, but this cartilage is needed for normal joint function.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"BUTTONLINK\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Knee Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not take care of the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nPatients with pain in almost any joint in the body can now <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Pain-Overview\">treat their chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular joint pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected knee ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Knee Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process.

Neck. Lower Back\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" />\r\n<h2>Stubborn, Chronic Neck Pain</h2>\r\nSince the neck is less protected than the rest of the spine, it is far more vulnerable to injuries and disorders that can cause pain and even restrict your motion. The neck enables the head to move and rotate, but if you are unable to move your neck normally, your life can be severely disrupted, and your activities can be limited. Depending on the cause and type of your neck injury or condition, your best choice may be Regenerative Orthopedics for chronic neck pain.\r\n<h2>What Causes Neck Pain?</h2>\r\nYour neck is composed of seven cervical vertebrae. These vertebrae support your head, serve as an attachment point for the muscles that move your head, and protect the spinal cord between the brain and thoracic vertebrae.\r\n\r\n<em>Symptoms involved with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">neck pain</a> can include:</em>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain in the shoulder, arm, or hand</li>\r\n 	<li>Reduced range of motion in the neck</li>\r\n 	<li>Numbness, weakness, and slower reflexes in the arms, legs, hands, and feet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf you are experiencing ongoing neck pain, you may be experiencing early symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin as young as thirty, and symptoms may begin to appear years after the disease begins.\r\n\r\n[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"bC6PwyGefiY\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Mark-neck-pain.jpg\" alt=\"Mark-Neck\"]\r\n<strong>Mark - Neck</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Other Causes of Neck Pain?</em>\r\n\r\nA strain or spasm of the muscles in the neck or inflammation of the neck may be a cause of the neck pain you feel. Pain in the neck can also be caused by injuries such as whiplash or a blow to the head or neck while playing sports. Cervical disk degeneration, disc herniation, a pinched nerve, meningitis, influenza, a heart attack, or torticollis can also be causes of neck pain. Anything that causes stress on the muscles in the upper body and arms, including poor posture and sleeping on a pillow that is too high, can be causes of localized neck pain.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics and Chronic Neck Pain</h3>\r\nMany patients are tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. Unfortunately, in many cases, these methods do not take care of the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nMusculoskeletal pain is primarily due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons, and possibly cartilage. <strong>The good news is that Regenerative Orthopedics, including Prolotherapy, PRP, and Stem Cell Therapy,  can regenerate these damaged tissues and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.</strong>\r\n<h3><em>What Does Research Say?</em></h3>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>The Journal of Spine Research conducted a clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PRP for the treatment of neck and low back pain. The specific cause of the pain in the study participants was spinal disc herniation (HNP). The patients had already tried different conservative treatments that did not work. <strong>However, the PRP treatments resulted in over 80% improvement.</strong> Plus, the improvement lasted.

The neck enables the head to move and to rotate, but if you can\'t move your neck normally, your life can be severely disrupted and your activities can be limited. Depending on the cause and type of your neck injury or condition, your best choice may be prolotherapy for chronic neck pain.\r\n\r\n<h4>What Causes Neck Pain?</h4>\r\nYour neck is composed of seven cervical vertebrae. These vertebrae support your head, serve as an attachment point for the muscles that move your head, and protect the spinal cord between the brain and thoracic vertebrae.\r\n\r\nSymptoms of <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ\">neck pain</a> can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain in the shoulder, arm or hand</li>\r\n 	<li>Reduced range of motion in the neck</li>\r\n 	<li>Numbness, weakness, and slower reflexes in the arms, legs, hands and feet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nIf you are experiencing minor neck pain, you may be experiencing early symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin as young as thirty and symptoms may begin to appear years after the disease begins.\r\n\r\nA strain or spasm of the muscles in the neck or inflammation of the neck can be the causes of the neck pain you feel. Pain in the neck can also be caused by injury such as whiplash or a blow to the head or neck while playing sports. Cervical disk degeneration, a pinched nerve, meningitis, influenza, a heart attack or torticollis, can also be causes of neck pain. Anything that causes stress on the muscles in the upper body and arms, including poor posture, and sleeping on a pillow that is too high, can be causes of localized neck pain.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Neck Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not take care of the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nPatients with pain in almost any joint in the body can now <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Pain-Overview\">treat their chronic pain with Prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can regenerate these damaged tissues and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected neck ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Neck Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process.

But when a part of your body, such as your shoulder, begins to hurt or hurts for an extended period, you quickly realize how much you depend on your shoulders for reaching, raising your arm, lifting yourself up, or even just opening a cupboard. That\'s why so many people with shoulder pain or injuries look to <strong>Prolotherapy for chronic shoulder pain</strong> treatment.\r\n<h4>Causes of Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nThe muscles and joints of the shoulder allow it to move through a remarkable range of motion, making it one of the most mobile joints in the human body. The shoulder can rotate, be raised in front of and behind the torso, and allow the arm to move a full 360°. This tremendous range of motion also makes the shoulder extremely unstable and far more prone to dislocation and injury than other joints.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nBecause the rounded head or ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is larger than the socket of the shoulder bone (scapula), this area is especially susceptible to injury. The shoulder joint consists of bones, muscles, and ligaments subject to stress and overuse.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of shoulder pain can be:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Tendonitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Dislocation and attendant injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Impingement syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Adhesive capsulated (frozen shoulder)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fracture</li>\r\n 	<li>Poor posture.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBut the <strong>most common cause of chronic pain in the shoulder is arthritis</strong>. This can take many forms, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty arthritis.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>Which Kind of Shoulder Pain Do You Have?</h4>\r\nIf you are experiencing pain from a rotator cuff injury, you will feel a dull aching pain, which worsens with movement.  A rotator cuff injury includes any irritation or damage to your <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff</a> muscles or tendons. Causes of a rotator cuff injury may include falling, lifting, and repetitive arm activities — especially those done overhead.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shoulder tendonitis</strong> can produce symptoms including a slow onset of discomfort, pain in the upper third of your arm, and difficulty sleeping on the side of that arm.\r\n\r\nRedness and swelling that is tender and warm to the touch can be caused by <strong>bursitis</strong>.\r\n\r\nMinor shoulder pain, ‘clicking,’ ‘giving way,’ or frozen shoulder are symptoms of <strong>arthritis</strong>. Osteoarthritis can begin as early as thirty, but symptoms can appear later as the condition progresses.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises.

But when a part of your body, such as your shoulder, begins to hurt or hurts for an extended period of time, you quickly realize how much you depend on your shoulders for reaching, raising your arm, lifting yourself up or even just opening a cupboard. That\'s why so many people with shoulder pain or injuries look to <strong>Prolotherapy for chronic shoulder pain</strong> treatment\r\n<h4>Causes of Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nThe muscles and joints of the shoulder allow it to move through a remarkable range of motion, making it one of the most mobile joints in the human body. The shoulder can rotate, be raised in front of and behind the torso and allow the arm to move a full 360°. This tremendous range of motion also makes the shoulder extremely unstable, and far more prone to dislocation and injury than other joints.\r\n\r\nBecause the rounded head or ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is larger than the socket of the shoulder bone (scapula), this area is especially susceptible to injury. The shoulder joint consists of bones, muscles and ligaments that are all subject to stress and overuse.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of shoulder pain can be:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Tendonitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Dislocation and attendant injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Impingement syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Adhesive capsulated (frozen shoulder)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fracture</li>\r\n 	<li>Poor posture.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBut the <strong>most common cause of chronic pain in the shoulder is arthritis</strong>. This can take many forms such as: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty arthritis.\r\n<h4>Which Kind of Shoulder Pain Do You Have?</h4>\r\nIf you are experiencing pain from a rotator cuff injury, you will feel a dull aching pain, which worsens with movement.  A rotator cuff injury includes any type of irritation or damage to your <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff</a> muscles or tendons. Causes of a rotator cuff injury may include falling, lifting and repetitive arm activities — especially those done overhead.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shoulder tendonitis</strong> can produce symptoms including a slow onset of discomfort, pain in the upper third of your arm and difficulty sleeping on the side of that arm.\r\n\r\nRedness and swelling that is tender and warm to the touch can be caused by <strong>bursitis</strong>.\r\n\r\nMinor shoulder pain, ‘clicking’, ‘giving way’, or frozen shoulder, are symptoms of <strong>arthritis</strong>. Osteoarthritis can begin as early as thirty, but symptoms can appear later, as the condition progresses.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not remove the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nDr. Fields may be able to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Pain-Overview\">treat your chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected shoulder  ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Shoulder Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. Prolotherapy for chronic shoulder pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a>. By contrast, shoulder surgery requires you reduce activity after treatment.\r\n\r\nAre you a candidate for Prolotherapy for your chronic shoulder pain? Would you like a <strong>second opinion before you have irreversible shoulder surgery</strong>? The only way to know for sure is to get a consultation. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Contact-Us\">Contact Us today</a> for a consultation or call Dr. Fields at <a href=\"tel://1-310-627-2458\">(310) 627-2458</a>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Chronic Shoulder Pain','','inherit','closed','closed','','511-revision-v1','','','2019-06-08 06:55:13','2019-06-08 06:55:13','',511,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/511-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(521,8,'2019-06-08 06:56:55','2019-06-08 06:56:55','&nbsp;\r\n<h4>Honduras 2007</h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_444\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"225\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-444\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Attending-a-noon-lecture.jpg\" alt=\"Attending A Noon Lecture\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" /> Attending A Noon Lecture[/caption]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-449\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr.-Timmerman-instructs-a-new-physician.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Timmerman Instructs A New Physician\" />\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-446\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr.-Fields-a-colleague-and-two-translators1.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Fields, A Colleague And Two Translators1\" />\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_447\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"225\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-447\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr.-Fields-two-young-translators-and-the-owner-of-the-local-bi-lingual-school.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Fields, Two Young Translators And The Owner Of The Local Bi Lingual School\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" /> Dr. Fields, Two Young Translators And The Owner Of The Local Bi Lingual School[/caption]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_448\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"225\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-448\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr.-Patterson-giving-a-noon-time-lecture.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Patterson Giving A Noon Time Lecture\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" /> Dr. Patterson Giving A Noon Time Lecture[/caption]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_445\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"225\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-445\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dr..-Fields-and-the-owner-of-a-local-restaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Dr..

Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. But the ligaments or tendons are usually injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\r\n<h3><strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong></h3>\r\nThese injuries may involve a tear in the <strong>annular ligament</strong>, which wraps around the radius bone to the humerus bone. These ligaments take all the strain when the lower arm turns. Twisting a screwdriver, turning a key or hitting a baseball are all activities that use the annular ligament.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tendon Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">Elbow pain</a> can also involve tendon injury, as in the cases of tennis or golfer’s elbow. The <strong>extensor tendons</strong> move the wrist up, and in tennis elbow, these can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow, it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong> that get injured, as they move the wrist down. It is not rare for us to see elbow and hand pain that has been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the entrapment of the median nerve where the wrist and hand connect.\r\n\r\nOther causes of elbow pain include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains and infections.\r\nCommon symptoms of elbow injury are: pain, swelling, numbness, tingling in the arm, weakness, and changes in temperature or colour of the skin. A patient may not remember having a specific injury, especially if symptoms began gradually or during usual activities.\r\n<h3><strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong></h3>\r\n<strong>But eighty percent of chronic elbow pain is caused by spraining the annular ligament</strong>, which attaches the radius bone to the ulnar bone. Because of the heavy demands placed on the fingers and hands by performing repetitive tasks, the annular ligament is stressed daily and could become a source of chronic pain. Another source of chronic elbow pain is strain of the ulnar collateral ligament. This ligament supports the inside of the elbow and holds the ulnar bone to the humerus.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Elbow Pain</h4>\r\nConventional medical treatments may relieve the symptoms of elbow pain, but they do not remedy the underlying cause of the problem.

Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. It is usually the ligaments and tendons that are injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\r\n\r\nThese injuries may involve a tear in the <strong>annular ligament</strong>, which wraps around the radius bone to the humerus bone. These ligaments take all the strain when the lower arm turns. Twisting a screwdriver, turning a key or hitting a baseball are all activities that use the annular ligament.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tendon Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ\">Elbow pain</a> can also involve tendon injury, as in the cases of tennis or golfer’s elbow. In tennis elbow it is the <strong>extensor tendons</strong> which move the wrist up, that can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong>, that move the wrist down, that get injured. It is not rare for us to see elbow and hand pain that has been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the entrapment of the median nerve where the wrist and hand connect.\r\n\r\nOther causes of elbow pain include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains and infections.\r\nCommon symptoms of elbow injury are: pain, swelling, numbness, tingling in the arm, weakness, and changes in temperature or colour of the skin. A patient may not remember having a specific injury, especially if symptoms began gradually or during usual activities.\r\n<strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>But eighty percent of chronic elbow pain is caused by spraining the annular ligament</strong>, which attaches the radius bone to the ulnar bone. Because of the heavy demands placed on the fingers and hands by performing repetitive tasks, the annular ligament is stressed daily and could become a source of chronic pain. Another source of chronic elbow pain is strain of the ulnar collateral ligament. This ligament supports the inside of the elbow and holds the ulnar bone to the humerus.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Elbow Pain</h4>\r\nConventional medical treatments may relieve the symptoms of elbow pain, but they do not remedy the underlying cause of the problem. That\'s why many patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not remove the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nDr. Fields may be able to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Pain-Overview\">treat your chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected shoulder  ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Elbow Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. Prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a>. By contrast, elbow surgery requires you reduce activity after treatment.\r\n\r\nWould you like a <strong>second opinion before you have irreversible elbow surgery</strong>? Are you a candidate for Prolotherapy for your chronic elbow pain?

Hip (video here)</strong>\r\n<h4>Prolotherapy Hip and Groin Injury Treatment</h4>\r\nHip and groin injuries can quickly become debilitating and escalate into athletic career ending injuries. MRI and arthroscopic surgery are routinely recommended for patients. Other patients may spend months or longer on pain medication, while undergoing rounds of physical therapy. <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a> hip and groin treatment offers a successful alternative to pain medication and surgery, for hip and groin injuries. OrthoRegen offers comprehensive treatment for your hip injuries and groin pain without pain medication, surgery or extended time away from the sport you love.\r\n\r\n<h4>Who Is Prolotherapy Hip Treatment For?</h4>\r\nOur patients include Olympic hopefuls to weekend warriors. Dr. Peter Fields, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Our-Office/The-Athletic-Doc\">The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></a>, is an Ironman Triathlete. He understands the concerns of injured athletes, hoping to return quickly to their chosen sport. His clinical experience has shown that Prolotherapy hip treatment is the preferred way to treat hip injuries and groin pain for optimal long term results. We can get you back into your sport without surgery, without medication, and without extended time away from your sport.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Some of the most common pain and injuries we treat with comprehensive <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a> hip and groin treatment are:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Acetabular labrum tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>Femoroacetabular impingement</li>\r\n 	<li>Groin pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip impingement</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Ischial tuberosity pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Labral tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Pelvic floor dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Post pelvic fusion pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Post-surgical hip pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Pubic symphysis injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Pubis pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Pupalgia</li>\r\n 	<li>Snapping hip syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Torn Labrum</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nDr. Fields and our staff at OrthoRegen offer traditional Dextrose Prolotherapy hip treatment, as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Stem Cell Prolotherapy.

Injuries</h2>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>Knee injuries are one of the most common problems we treat at OrthoRegen.<sup>®.  </sup></div>\r\n<div>And we successfully treat knee injuries with Regenerative Orthopedics, which include Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), and Prolotherapy.  Which type of Regenerative Orthopedic treatment is best for the knee?  That would depend on your particular injury.  Below are a few videos where our patients tell you a bit about their injury and how they did after treatment:</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"youtube-click-div video_left\">[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"Mc4Xo9RTwjw\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Christa-Knee.jpg\" alt=\"Christa

anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Adam-Knee.jpg\" alt=\"Adam Knee\"]\r\n<strong>Adam - Knee </strong></div>\r\n<h3>The Knee</h3>\r\nThe knee joint is one of the most crucial joints in the body, and knee function is vital to carrying out everyday activities.\r\n\r\nThe knee joint is in the middle of the leg and connects upwards to the femur (thigh bone) and downwards to the tibia (shin bone).  The patella or kneecap sits to the front of these bones.\r\n<h4><em>Knee Ligaments</em></h4>\r\nThe four main ligaments connect the femur and tibia at the knee: the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL, found deep within the knee joint) and the medial (MCL) and lateral (LCL) collateral ligaments (on either side of the joint).\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4><em>Cartilage and Other Joint Structures</em></h4>\r\nThere are other essential structures in the knee, including articular cartilage.  The cartilage protects the ends of both bones and the back of the patella, allowing for smooth movement.\r\n\r\nThe meniscus is another knee structure.  It consists of two semicircular discs providing cushioning and support for the bones.\r\n\r\nOur knees are incredibly vulnerable to injury.  Any of these structures, or a combination of them, can be involved when the knee is injured.  And when knee injuries do occur, we recommend <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Regenerative Orthopedic</a> knee treatments to strengthen and repair the damaged tissue, ligaments, tendons, and other structures and get you back quickly to the activities you love.\r\n<h3>How Regenerative Orthopedics Works to Treat the Knee</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4925\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4925\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/knee-stem-cells-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Knee Stem Cells\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /> <strong>               <em>Regenerative Orthopedics for Knee Injuries</em></strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics are innovative therapies that treat the knee by stimulating the body\'s healing cascade to repair damaged tissue.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatments-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> is one type of regenerative treatment that is effective for knee injuries.  \"Prolo\" comes from the word proliferate.  Therefore, Prolotherapy then describes the therapy which boosts the proliferation of fibroblastic cells that stimulate the growth of the soft tissue, such as the ligaments and tendons.  The proliferation of the fibroblasts encourages the formation of new, robust tissue.  Why is this important?  Because this process is precisely what is needed to repair ligament, tendon, and meniscus injuries.\r\n\r\nThe clinician may recommend platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in some knee injury cases.  The blood platelets in Platelet Rich Plasma contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Specific injuries will require more potent means for healing and regeneration.  And when necessary, these concentrated platelets provide that means because they contain large reservoirs of growth factors.  Plus, they have the potential to significantly accelerate the normal healing process, naturally.\r\n<h3>Stem Cell Therapy</h3>\r\nStem Cell Treatments for joints are an excellent alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery.  At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, we utilize the Gold Standard in <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell Treatments</a>.  The treatment is an effective non-surgical alternative that has a great chance of helping you to <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em>.\r\n\r\nThese Regenerative Orthopedic treatments are exciting and new cutting-edge therapies that can stimulate knee repair by regenerating weakened, torn, or damaged ligaments, tendons, and the menisci of the knee joint.\r\n\r\nDon\'t wait!  Contact us soon, so you can avoid surgery too, by receiving non-surgical treatment for your knee injuries with comprehensive Regenerative Orthopedics at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n\r\n<a style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\" href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&amp;promocode=CLT/\"><img style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\" width=\"275\" /></a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Regenerative Orthopedics for Your Knee Injuries?</h4>\r\nPeter A.

Is neck pain keeping you from enjoying life as you would like? Whether you are an athlete with an injury, or simply an individual suffering from neck pain, we would love to help!\r\n\r\nIn cases of trauma, a hit to the head or neck can stretch and injure the ligaments in the neck.  Ligaments are what connect bone to bone. They help to stabilize the vertebrae. When injured, they become somewhat \"loose,\" similar to a stretched-out rubber band, and this can lead to neck instability. The instability can lead to a myriad of different symptoms, some of which can include dizziness and headaches.\r\n\r\nWe have written an article that discusses the symptoms of neck instability in more depth. If you are interested in finding out more about these symptoms of neck instability (cervical instability), please <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/cervical-instability/\">clicking here</a>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h3>Common Neck Injury Treatments</h3>\r\nMost patients try to self-treat with NSAID medications such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen. If these medications do bring relief, the relief is often temporary. And once the drugs become ineffective, the patient often seeks even stronger prescription medications, such as nerve blocks. After that, an MRI is frequently taken, and then surgery is often recommended.\r\n\r\nFortunately, there is an alternative to surgical cervical fusion for chronic neck pain and pain from neck injuries by using comprehensive Regenerative Orthopedic neck treatments at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4878\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"428\"]<img class=\" wp-image-4878\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Non-Surgical-500x500.png\" alt=\"Non Surgical\" width=\"428\" height=\"428\" /> <strong>Choose a Non-Surgical Alternative for Neck Pain</strong>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedic Neck Injury Treatments by Peter A.
