What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine focuses on regenerating or replacing human cells, tissues, or organs to help the body naturally heal itself. 

Regeneration occurs at three levels. The molecular level involves DNA, fats, and carbohydrates. The cellular level involves cell structures responsible for cell growth and reproduction, and the tissue level includes blood, skin, bone, or muscle. 

Regenerative medicine is helpful if you’ve experienced damage at any of these levels because of disease, injury, aging, or other health concerns. 

What can regenerative medicine treat?

Regenerative medicine can treat several concerns, such as:

• Nerve pain 
• Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain 
• Chronic tendonitis
• Ligament and muscle injuries 
• Joint injuries 
• Sports injuries like golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow
• Degenerative disc disease in the spine
• Arthritis 
• Sprained knees 
• Sexual dysfunction 
• Low metabolism 
• Weight loss needs
• Fatigue (acute or chronic) 

Nonsurgical regenerative treatments boost your body’s natural healing processes, have minimal downtime, and promote long-lasting, optimal health. 

What are regenerative medicine treatments?

Before proceeding with any form of treatment, the Hawaii Natural Medicine team conducts a thorough exam to determine if you’re a good candidate. They also discuss the benefits, risks, and any side effects associated with a procedure.  

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy works by sending pulses of energy to a targeted area. This can improve blood flow, stimulate new tissue, and reduce pain. You may benefit if you have an injury or are looking to treat erectile dysfunction. 

PRP injections

During a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, your provider draws your blood, concentrates the platelets, and then inserts them into the targeted area. 

PRP injections can treat injuries and speed up recovery time, as well as improve sexual function in both men (the P-shot®) and women (the O-shot®). 

Prolotherapy 

During prolotherapy, your provider injects a sugar or saline substance into your joint or muscle to trigger inflammation. This process jumpstarts your body’s natural healing process.
