At the time this post was written, training camp was well underway for both professional and college football. As expected, injury stories are starting to pop up all over the country. The Seattle Seahawks are just one of many teams reporting injuries to key players. Some of those players are turning to PRP injections to get back on the field.

Our primary mission here at the Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institute is to equip clinicians to offer stem cell and PRP therapies in their practices. We believe in the value of regenerative medicine as an alternative to more traditional methodologies. Regenerative medicine offers tremendous potential; potential we are still learning about.

We have the opportunity to work with a lot of doctors who come to the Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institute for PRP therapy training. If you have never undergone training, we invite you to consider doing so. PRP therapy has a growing number of uses in sports medicine, orthopedics, and even aesthetic medicine.

Dermatologists assembled at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) were presented with the results of a recent study that shows PRP therapy can be effective as a treatment for a range of dermatological issues, including hair loss. They learned there is yet another alternative to hair replacement surgeries and pharmacological treatments.

The Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institute goes beyond mere procedural training to include additional training for doctors and clinics looking for ways to successfully market stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies. They come to us to learn the mechanics of the procedures, but we also teach them how to introduce those procedures to their patients.

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.

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.
