Living with pain can feel like a roadblock, keeping you from the activities you love. For years, recovery often meant invasive surgery or long-term medication. But today, regenerative medicine offers another path—helping your body heal itself, without scalpels or lengthy downtime.
At Charleston Sports Medicine, we are the island’s only practice dedicated exclusively to nonsurgical regenerative medicine. This specialization allows us to deliver advanced, targeted care designed to restore function and reduce pain naturally.
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine focuses on repairing or regenerating tissue rather than masking symptoms. It harnesses your body’s own healing abilities to address conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament sprains, and muscle tears. Think of it as amplifying the body’s natural response to injury, directing concentrated healing where it’s needed most.
How Nonsurgical Treatments Work
One of the most common options is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy:
- A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge.
- The platelets—rich in growth factors—are concentrated.
- Using ultrasound guidance, they’re injected into the injured area to reduce inflammation and stimulate repair.
This minimally invasive approach supports true healing from within while avoiding the risks and downtime of surgery.
