Take Advantage Of The Latest Advances In Regenerative Medicine At Our Clinic Serving San Diego
Regenerative medicine refers to a branch of medicine that focuses on ways to repair or regenerate damaged tissue in the body.
It is based on the foundational naturopathic principle that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself, and it just needs to be stimulated in the right direction. Our physicians are highly trained in injection therapy.
This modern approach is based on using your body’s own healing potential to help itself – we simply remove what we need from your body, concentrate and improve what we removed, and re-inject it into the problem area.
How Does Regenerative Medicine Work?
Regeneration occurs at the following three levels:
Molecular Level
Molecular level including small building blocks of the body such as DNA, carbohydrates, fats, etc.
Cellular Level
Cellular level including axons or neurons responsible for growth and reproduction.
Tissue Levels
Tissue levels include skin, blood, muscle, tendon, bone, etc.

Regenerative Medicine Vs Conventional Treatments For Pain
Medications and steroid injections can provide temporary relief from symptoms, but they are not recommended for long-term use as they can cause gastrointestinal issues, kidney damage, and cardiovascular problems. Prolonged use of medications can also lead to side effects such as gastrointestinal issues, kidney damage, and cardiovascular problems. Steroids can also weaken the area around the injection zone.
Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, provides long-lasting relief from symptoms and gives the body a chance to regain function. It is a viable option for treating joint pain and dysfunction, and it does not carry the risks that surgical approaches do.
While surgery can be an effective treatment for joint pain and dysfunction, it often comes with negative side effects and a lengthy, painful rehabilitation process.
Prolotherapy As A Regenerative Medicine Option
Prolotherapy is a type of regenerative medicine that is used to treat joints and connective tissues that are affected by pain, swelling, and laxity.
The term “prolo” means to proliferate, and the aim of this treatment is to increase the amount of collagen, which is a structural protein that plays a crucial role in the function of your joints.
Our prolotherapy injection option available at our San Diego location, can be used to treat the shoulder, back, knee, hand, and hips.
In this treatment, a watery solution that contains dextrose and saline is injected into the affected portion – this solution also contains a numbing agent named lidocaine.
This injection works by triggering your body’s natural healing mechanism, which allows your body to restore new connective fibers to heal the damaged tissues.
Peptides As A Regenerative Medicine Option
The use of peptides is to stimulate and regenerate patients’ own stem cells, which can speed up the healing process and repair damaged tissues – peptides are chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins.
Some peptides are used to support the growth and repair of injured tendon, muscle, and cartilage, while others may be used directly on the skin after medical micro-needling to support new facial collagen or new hair growth for scalp treatments.
With our modern facilities and commitment to providing exceptional patient care, Oasis Health and Medicine is your premier choice for peptide therapy in San Diego.
PRP Is A Regenerative Medicine Treatment Option
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance that is extracted from a patient’s own blood. During PRP therapy, the blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to extract the beneficial platelets and plasma.
The resulting substance is then injected into the affected joints.
PRP takes advantage of the body’s natural healing properties to repair damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, or even bone.
PRP therapy has been growing as a safe and effective treatment option for several clinical applications, including athletes who have been using it for decades.
This therapy is now available at Oasis Health and Medicine, at our San Diego clinic to anyone who is suffering from an injury or degenerative condition and would like to speed up the healing process.
PRP therapy has also been used in maxillofacial surgery, spinal surgery, plastic and esthetic surgery, heart surgery, and burns.
Stem Cells As A Regenerative Medicine Option
Stem cell therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that utilizes stem cells to heal injuries. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into any type of cell and serve any necessary function, making them an effective tool for repairing and developing new tissues in the body.
These cells are often extracted from human embryonic tissue, which can be controversial in some cases. After injection, these cells can repair and develop into healthy cells in the affected area.
Are There Any Additional Treatments You Can Undergo Along With Regenerative Therapies?
Yes, in order to accelerate the healing process, reduce complications, and improve quality of life, your doctor may recommend alternative treatments – these include:
- Physical therapy
- Acupuncture
- Yoga, tai chi
- Meditation and mindfulness training
- Supplements and herbal recommendations
- Functional testing to check root causes of inflammation
- IV therapy
- Personalized program to reduce inflammation and promote healing
What Are The Potential Side Effects And Risks Of Using The Regenerative Treatment?
After receiving regenerative medicine treatment, some patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling in the injection area. These symptoms usually go away on their own within a week.
Your naturopathic doctor at Oasis Health and Medicine may apply a small bandage or dressing to keep the area clean and protected until it heals completely.
