What is Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine a therapeutic approach that uses various strategies to restore or replace human cells and tissues that have been damaged by disease.  It involves stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms when the body is not able to heal itself without assistance.

Regenerative medicine can help treat conditions that are difficult to treat, such as osteoarthritis, degeneration of the joints, as well as injuries to tendons, ligaments and cartilage.  It can also help to restore normal function to various organs and medical problems at the cellular level.   The decisive goal of regenerative medicine is advancing medical care from palliation to cure, and provide solutions and hope for our patients that one day, organs and joints will be rebuilt rather than replaced.

Regenerative medicine in orthopedics:

Unlike traditional nonoperative pain management, which often serves as a temporary solution to mask pain, regenerative medicine seeks to go beyond a mere temporary reduction of pain and inflammation.

Traditional therapies such as cortisone with lidocaine injections rarely offer true healing potential, even though these treatments can temporarily reduce pain and inflammation.  Regenerative medicine  has introduced a paradigm shift in patient therapy by focusing on facilitating tissue repair rather than providing temporary relief.  The goal is to promote a more comprehensive healing process, while moving away from the limitations of achieving only temporary relief from pain.

This can be achieved by harnessing the power of healing substances, including stem cells, exosomes, growth factors, and platelets. These components act as building blocks, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and accelerating the overall recovery from injuries. By providing the essential elements needed for tissue repair, regenerative medicine aims to offer a more effective and long-lasting solution for musculoskeletal injuries.

Genesis Regenerative Protein Arrays (RPA) – Q & A

What is Genesis® RPA?

Genesis® RPA is a groundbreaking and transformative therapy in regenerative medicine. Genesis® contains the most expansive array of proteins, growth factors and cytokines of any regenerative medicine product on the market and is estimated to be magnitudes more potent than therapies like Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). These “active ingredients” are pivotal in tissue regeneration and healing and are derived from all three layers of placental tissue responsible for the development of human brain/nerve, musculoskeletal, soft tissue, and internal organs. Because of this, Genesis® offers a potent, safe, and versatile treatment option for a broad range of medical conditions and anti-aging goals.

Is Genesis® RPA FDA approved?

Genesis® RPA is in a category of products that the FDA refer to as “cell factors.” The FDA regulates the manufacturing, processing, and distribution of the product, but just like sterile nutraceuticals, it allows licensed clinicians to make clinical decisions on Genesis® RPA’s application in collaboration with their patients.

Is Genesis® RPA therapy safe?

Genesis® RPA is derived from the most pristine of placental tissue, acquired from highly screened donors, tested by FDA/CLIA certified labs, filtered to remove all cellular matter, and endotoxin tested for verification of sterility. This acellular, non-biologic therapy has been successfully used on thousands of patients in clinics around the world.

Is Genesis® RPA effective?

Genesis® RPA consists of proteins, growth factors and cytokines that have been studied and published in many nationally renowned, clinical journals with very positive outcomes in a multitude of medical conditions. One of our highly qualified clinical staff members will need to evaluate your history, perform a physical, review your diagnostic films, as well as your labs to gauge if Genesis® RPA therapy would be beneficial to your specific condition.

Does Medicare / private insurance pay for Genesis® RPA therapy?

Medicare & private payors are constantly reviewing the potential of paying for many Regenerative Medicine therapies but for now they are all cash only. Having said that, in some cases Genesis RPA therapy can be less expensive than out-of-pocket expenses associated with insurance-covered therapies. We also offer financing options, making Genesis® RPA therapy affordable to all.
