Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains how to optimize baseline health before using regenerative procedures like PRP and stem cell injections, combined with laser therapy, to amplify the body's natural healing capacity.
The goal is to get the patient as healthy as possible. How can we balance a patient's metabolism so that when we use their body's ability to heal itself, and we magnify that, that that is as efficient and as effective as it can be? So once we get you as healthy as we possibly can, then we use your body's ability to heal itself. And we do this by applying prp, bone marrow aspirate, stem cell treatments, and laser therapies. PRP is where we isolate the patient's platelets, we concentrate them, and inject them using ultrasound or X ray into a specific spot. Bone marrow aspirate is where we do the same thing, but with mesenchymal stem cells. Autologous and then laser therapy is an augmentation. We know that radiant therapies like laser therapy can augment healing, improve blood supply, and increase the amount of material that our cells release and can be really valuable.
