New research suggests that the age of stem cell donors matters for therapies where donors and recipients are different people. That would seem to make sense given the strength of stem cells in relation to a person’s age. But would the same thing be observed with autologous stem cell treatments? In other words, does the age of a person receiving stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis partly determine the efficacy of that treatment?

Doctors signing up for one of our stem cell or PRP therapy training courses tend to think of the regenerative medicine procedures we teach as reactive treatments. That is to say they will go to treat patients already suffering from musculoskeletal injuries or chronic pain. There is, however, another way to look at it: regenerative medicine as a preventative measure.

Medical science has been trying to combat various forms of hair loss for as long as most of us can remember. Back in the 1980s and 90s, it was common to see TV commercials pitching everything from hair replacement surgery to topical medications. Virtually all those treatments are still being used today. But now we have an additional treatment in PRP therapy.

Assuming you are a doctor, do you remember the wandering of your thoughts in the early days of your residency? You wondered what life would be like once your residency was complete. You wondered where you would go, what you would do, and how you would transition from education into career mode. We see something similar with our stem cell training courses, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Yes, we just finished up the annual Christmas and New Year’s holidays. But now is the time to start preparing for spring. It will not be long before the snow starts melting and the birds start singing. As a doctor or director of a medical clinic, you should be looking to spring as a way to further expand your practice. We believe the ticket for sports medicine and orthopedic practices is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institute offers stem cell training for doctors looking to expand their primary care or orthopedic practices. Stem cell injections can be used to treat osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal issues resulting in chronic pain. The treatments are so successful that athletes are embracing them in greater numbers.
