Regenerative Medicine
Your body has an incredible ability to heal itself, and regenerative medicine is all about tapping into that potential. At Procura Pain & Spine, we specialize in advanced regenerative therapies that use the body’s healing processes to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and help with long-term healing.

Whether you’re dealing with joint pain, muscle pain, tendon injuries, or other chronic conditions, regenerative medicine is a cutting-edge approach that can help you recover and regain your quality of life.

How Does Regenerative Medicine Work?
Regenerative medicine uses materials from the body, like parts of the blood or stem cells, to repair damaged tissues. Materials used in regenerative therapy are usually rich in proteins, growth factors, and other components vital to stopping inflammation and promoting the growth of healthy cells.
A regenerative treatment introduces specific biologically active substances to the area in need of healing (like stem cells). This can help minimize pain and discomfort and also helps improve the structural integrity of joints, tendons, ligaments, and other tissues.

Types of Regenerative Medicine
At Procura Pain & Spine, we offer a wide range of advanced regenerative medicine therapies. Each one is designed to address specific conditions and boost natural healing. By tailoring these treatments to your unique needs, we can help you recover faster, reduce pain, and restore your level of mobility.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy uses a concentrated dose of your body's platelets to encourage healing. Platelets are a part of the blood, and they're rich in growth factors, which are essential for stimulating tissue repair and reducing any inflammation that may be present.
During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn. One of our providers will separate the platelets from other parts of your blood, like the red blood cells. The processed platelets will be injected directly into the area of injury or pain.
This therapy is most commonly used to help with joint pain, soft tissue injuries, and chronic tendon conditions like tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis. PRP therapy can also speed up your recovery after surgery and improve your outcomes after a musculoskeletal injury.
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes are tiny sacs released by cells to facilitate communication and regulate activities in surrounding tissues. They play a key role in the body's healing process by delivering signals that promote cell growth and repair.
Exosome therapy is an emerging treatment used for various conditions, including chronic pain, joint injuries, and nerve damage. By enhancing cellular communication, exosome therapy supports the body's natural healing mechanisms and works well in combination with other regenerative therapies, such as PRP or stem cell treatments.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy maximizes the power of cells that can develop into different tissue types. This therapy can often provide the remarkable ability to repair damaged areas. These cells are usually harvested from your bone marrow or fat tissue and then injected into the affected area to help recover.
Stem cells reduce inflammation, encourage new tissue growth, and help with the repair of damaged structures. This treatment method can be an excellent choice for arthritis, ligament injuries, degenerative joint diseases, and chronic back pain. Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for many patients who want long-term relief without the painful recovery time.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a natural technique that involves injecting a specialized irritant solution into the injured or hurting area. This solution helps to stimulate your body’s healing response, sending growth factors and other cell types with anti-inflammatory properties to the area so pain is reduced. Prolotherapy helps with joint pain, osteoarthritis, ligament sprains, and lower back pain.
Amniotic Fluid Therapy
Amniotic fluid is packed with powerful growth factors and cells that modulate inflammation. It can repair tissues and reduce pain. During treatment, purified amniotic fluid is injected into the injured area.This treatment can be beneficial for managing arthritis, tendon injuries, and chronic joint pain. Amniotic fluid therapy is a safe option for patients who want a non-surgical method to help with pain relief and recovery.
Wharton’s Jelly Therapy
Wharton’s jelly is a gel-like substance found around the umbilical cord. It is full of healing materials, such as growth factors, exosomes, and stem cells. These different components work together to reduce inflammation and repair damaged tissue.Wharton’s jelly is often used to treat joint pain, soft tissue injuries, and certain degenerative conditions. It has strong regenerative properties, making it a great option to help with long-term healing and improving the overall functioning of the joint.

At Procura Pain & Spine, you can rest assured that we will always prioritize your comfort throughout the entire treatment process. Regenerative medicine procedures are minimally invasive and are performed right in our office.
What to Expect During Regenerative Medicine Treatments
During your initial consultation, we’ll review your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine the best regenerative therapy for you and your unique needs. If you decide to move forward with a procedure, the process is easy and straightforward.
For PRP or stem cell therapy, the first step is collecting the necessary sample. A blood sample will be required for PRP, and a bone marrow or fat sample will be required for stem cells.
The sample is then processed in our office to isolate the healing components. Those are injected directly into the affected area. For other regenerative treatments, like prolotherapy or amniotic fluid therapy, we obtain the solution from a safe, reliable outside source and then prepare and inject it into the site of pain or injury.
Most procedures take less than an hour, and you can usually return to your daily activities shortly after. You may experience some mild soreness at the injection site, but this typically disappears within a few days.
While some patients notice quick improvements, regenerative medicine often works gradually, with results becoming more noticeable over the coming weeks and months as the body continues to heal
Common Questions About Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine can address various conditions, including joint pain, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, chronic back pain, and degenerative disc disease. It’s also excellent for helping with recovery after surgery or an injury.
Yes, regenerative medicine is considered safe. Because many of these treatments use your body’s cells or tissues, there’s little risk of adverse reactions. Your Procura Pain & Spine provider will discuss potential risks and ensure the treatment is right for you
Results can vary depending on the condition being treated and the type of regenerative therapy used. Some patients notice an improvement within a few weeks, while others experience gradual healing over the course of several months.
The number of treatments you’ll need will depend on your specific condition and how well your body responds. Some patients see significant relief after just one session, while others may benefit more from a series of treatments.
At Procura, we never consider patients to need surgery until every option has been exhausted. For many patients, regenerative medicine is the treatment that works best for them, preventing them from ever needing surgery. However, for certain severe conditions, surgery may still be necessary. Your provider will help you explore the best options for your specific situation.
