Regenerative medicine treatments are injection-based therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing processes in joints, ligaments, and soft tissues.
These treatments are commonly used for people experiencing chronic joint pain, tendon injuries, or early osteoarthritis, helping support tissue repair and joint function without surgery.
At Jacobs Pain Centre in Markham near Toronto, regenerative therapies are offered as part of a comprehensive approach to managing musculoskeletal pain and degenerative joint conditions.
Regenerative medicine focuses on supporting the body’s natural repair mechanisms to help injured or degenerative tissues recover.
Unlike treatments that primarily reduce inflammation, regenerative therapies aim to support healing within affected tissues, helping improve joint function and mobility.
These treatments are often considered for patients with joint pain, tendon injuries, and degenerative joint conditions.
Regenerative therapies offer a non-surgical approach to treating joint and soft-tissue conditions.
Potential benefits include:
Options for managing joint pain and degenerative joint conditions
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses concentrated platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets contain growth factors that play a role in tissue repair.
PRP injections are commonly used for:
Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution into weakened ligaments or tendons to stimulate a localized healing response.
This therapy is used to support ligament stability and tendon health.
Hyaluronic acid injections help improve joint lubrication and cushioning, particularly in patients with osteoarthritis.
These injections are most commonly used in the knee joint.
nSTRIDE® APS is a blood-derived therapy used for knee osteoarthritis.
The treatment concentrates anti-inflammatory proteins from the patient’s blood before injection into the knee joint.
Hyaluronic acid injections help improve joint lubrication and cushioning, particularly in patients with osteoarthritis.
These injections are most commonly used in the knee joint.
Regenerative treatments may be used for a variety of musculoskeletal and joint conditions, including:
Degenerative joint conditions
For blood-based therapies such as PRP or nSTRIDE®, a small blood sample is drawn and processed to prepare the injection.
The treatment area is then cleaned and prepared, and a small needle is used to deliver the regenerative solution into the targeted joint or soft tissue.
Most regenerative injection treatments are performed in clinic and typically take less than an hour.
Regenerative medicine treatments are commonly used for joint pain, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, and osteoarthritis.
PRP therapy uses platelets from your own blood that contain growth factors involved in tissue repair.
Steroid injections primarily reduce inflammation, while regenerative therapies aim to support tissue repair within affected tissues.
Most injections are well tolerated. Local anesthetic may be used to improve comfort during treatment.
Regenerative treatments are typically not covered by OHIP but may be eligible for some insurance coverage. Costs can be discussed during consultation.
Regenerative medicine treatments at Jacobs Pain Centre require a referral from your physician.
If you believe regenerative therapies such as PRP, prolotherapy, hyaluronic acid injections, or nSTRIDE® therapy may be appropriate for your condition, speak with your doctor about a referral for assessment.
