Regenerative Medicine Services offered in McKinney, TX

What is regenerative medicine?

More and more medical providers are turning to regenerative medicine to help their patients get better. It’s a new approach to health and wellness. Currently, treatments for chronic diseases center on symptom management.

Regenerative medicine takes a different approach, focusing on therapies that support the body’s healing and repair process to restore health and wellness. The goal of regenerative medicine is to get the body back to a healthy state, eliminating symptoms.

Dr. Clair of Sports City USA Foot & Ankle Center is a skilled foot and ankle specialist who offers regenerative medicine to help his patients recover from their foot and ankle conditions.

What are the types of regenerative medicine?

At Sports City USA Foot & Ankle Center, Dr. Clair offers bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for regenerative medicine.

BMAC

BMAC is an injection made from your bone marrow. Bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, and specialized proteins that your body uses to repair and regenerate tissue.

Dr. Clair injects BMAC into your diseased or damaged tissue to support the healing process.

PRP injections

PRP injections are a blood product with a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are tiny blood cells containing proteins and growth factors that repair body damage. Dr. Clair injects PRP into the injured tissue to enhance the body’s own cells for repairing.

Can regenerative medicine help my sports injury?

Dr. Clair may use regenerative medicine treatments for a sports injury that fails to improve with medical interventions like medications and physical therapy. In addition to sports injuries, Dr. Clair may recommend regenerative medicine for other conditions, such as:

Arthritis
Ankle sprain
Tendinitis
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendon disorders

Dr. Clair may also suggest regenerative medicine to support healing after foot and ankle surgery.

What happens during regenerative medicine treatments?

The specifics of your regenerative treatments at Sports City USA Foot & Ankle Center depend on your needs and goals. Dr. Clair customizes your plan and reviews the details with you so you know what to expect.

Dr. Clair first takes bone marrow or a sample of blood to create the BMAC or PRP. He then injects the healing elements into the damaged tissue using X-ray-guided imaging.

He recommends physical therapy following your injections to support the healing.
