Welcome to Twenty-One Medical, where we offer cutting-edge biologic treatments to support your health and wellness. Our services include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and Stem Cell Therapy, designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and promote tissue regeneration. Discover how these innovative treatments can benefit you.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment derived from your own blood, concentrating platelets and growth factors to promote healing. Plasma, the liquid component of blood, carries red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting and healing, releasing growth factors and cytokines when activated.
PRP therapy involves taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the components. The platelets are then concentrated and injected into the area of injury or discomfort, providing a high concentration of growth factors to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. PRP therapy has been used to treat various conditions, including:
Minor rotator cuff and Achilles tendon tears, tennis elbow, and golfer's elbow.
Knee osteoarthritis and other joint-related issues.
Calf muscle tears and other muscle-related injuries.
PRP therapy is minimally invasive and uses your own blood, reducing the risk of adverse reactions or rejection. It may reduce the need for pain medications, including opioids, and has been shown to improve function and reduce pain. Most patients experience improvement within four to six weeks, with continued progress for up to a year.
Stem Cell Therapy involves using stem cells, special cells with the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, to promote tissue repair and regeneration. Stem cells are found in almost all tissues and play a key role in maintaining and repairing the body.
Stem Cell Therapy involves collecting stem cells from various sources, such as bone marrow, fat, or umbilical cord blood. These cells are then processed and injected into the area of injury or disease to promote healing and regeneration. Stem Cell Therapy has potential applications in various medical conditions, including:
Stem cells can be guided to become specific cells to regenerate damaged tissues and organs.
Stem cells can be used to test drug safety and effectiveness before human trials.
Stem cells used in therapy can come from several sources, including:
Found in small numbers in adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat.
Found in amniotic fluid and umbilical cord blood.
Adult cells reprogrammed to act like embryonic stem cells.
Stem Cell Therapy has potential benefits for treating various conditions, including:
