Regenerative medicine injections are the basis of RIT or regenerative injection therapy. This treatment was developed for the chronic pain associated with unhealed injuries, including:
- Joints
- Tendons
- Cartilage
- Muscles
- Ligaments
This type of therapy is used mainly for the treatment of chronic pain, muscle injuries and joints. The treatment involves injecting a special solution into the muscle tissue affected. This is often the plasma of the patient. The regenerative medicine injections help repair ligaments and tissues because they encourage healing and the forming of healthy new tissue. When a tissue has been injured, it sends the body a signal to start the healing process. This process enables the body to get rid of damaged tissues and replace them with healthy tissues. This creates a painful inflammatory state.
The pain of inflammation is typically treated with steroids or anti-inflammatories, but they often suppress the healing process. Regenerative medicine injections replicate the process for the normal healing of tissues with an injection of a substance simulating the natural healing process of the body. The benefits include:
- Reduced pain levels
- An increase in functional ability and movement
- A potential alternative to surgery or prescription medication
- Improved muscle strength
This type of therapy is used to treat repetitive stress injuries that have not healed properly due to insufficient time and additional injuries that do not heal completely. The treatment also aids in the repair of some conditions usually treated with surgery.
