Are you living with chronic pain, a nagging sports injury, or degenerative joint conditions? For many, traditional treatments offer only temporary relief, masking symptoms without addressing the root cause. But what if you could harness your body's innate ability to heal and repair damaged tissue from within? Welcome to the future of medicine: regenerative therapy.
At the office of Roshni Patel, MD, we are at the forefront of providing advanced regenerative treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy to patients in Farmington, CT, and the surrounding communities. This guide will explore how these groundbreaking, non-surgical options can help you reduce pain, improve function, and reclaim your quality of life.
Regenerative medicine is a paradigm shift in healthcare. Instead of simply managing symptoms with medications or resorting to invasive surgery, it focuses on repairing, replacing, and regenerating damaged cells and tissues. The goal is to restore normal function by stimulating the body’s own powerful healing mechanisms. Two of the most effective and well-researched regenerative treatments are PRP Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy.
Your blood is composed of several key components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. While platelets are known for their role in clotting, they are also a rich reservoir of proteins called growth factors. These growth factors are critical for signaling tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP therapy is a simple, in-office procedure that concentrates these healing elements.
This delivers a potent dose of growth factors right to the source of your pain, accelerating the natural healing process, reducing inflammation, and promoting the growth of healthy new tissue.
As a leading provider of PRP therapy in the Farmington area, Dr. Roshni Patel utilizes this treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal and aesthetic conditions, including:
Stem cells are the body's master cells—the fundamental building blocks for every other cell type. They have the unique ability to develop into specialized cells (like cartilage, bone, or muscle cells) and can also self-renew, creating more stem cells. When introduced to a damaged area, they can help regenerate the specific tissue that needs repair.
For our therapeutic procedures, we use adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), typically sourced ethically and safely from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue. These cells act as the body's internal repair crew, rushing to the site of injury to orchestrate a complex healing response.
Stem cell therapy is often recommended for more significant injuries or advanced degenerative conditions that may not respond fully to other treatments. It is a powerful option for patients in Connecticut seeking to avoid major surgery. Common applications include:
In the rapidly evolving field of regenerative medicine, the expertise of your physician is paramount. Dr. Roshni Patel combines deep knowledge with a personalized, patient-centered approach to ensure you receive the most effective and appropriate treatment.
Q: Am I a good candidate for regenerative therapy?
A: A consultation with Dr. Patel is the best way to find out. Ideal candidates are typically those with moderate degenerative conditions or soft tissue injuries who have not found success with conservative treatments and wish to explore non-surgical alternatives.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: We use local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the injection. Patients may experience some mild soreness at the injection site for a few days, which is a normal part of the healing inflammatory response.
Q: How long does recovery take?
A: Recovery is significantly faster than surgery. Most patients can resume normal daily activities within a few days and will be given a specific rehabilitation plan to optimize healing over the following weeks.
Q: Is regenerative therapy covered by insurance?
A: Most insurance plans do not yet cover regenerative procedures like PRP and stem cell therapy. However, we offer transparent pricing and can discuss payment options with you.
If you are ready to move beyond managing your pain and start truly healing, regenerative therapy may be the answer. Stop letting pain control your life.
