default

Joint Rejuvenation Therapy is a multi-faceted treatment protocol designed to alleviate symptoms of Osteoarthritis and correct long-term joint degeneration and dysfunction. Our trusted team at Belleview Spine and Wellness has helped thousands of patients with customized treatment plans designed specifically to meet individual goals and needs.

Joint Rejuvenation Therapy is not a form of surgery. steroidal injections or narcotics; it is a unique approach utilizing various therapies and modalities to augment and accelerate your bodies natural healing potential. Belleview Spine and Wellness is known as an industry leader for joint care and pain relief. Joint Rejuvenation Therapy utilizes cutting edge technologies like Shock Wave Therapy and decompression technology, as well as Protein-Rich Plasma (PRP), Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) and umbilical cord vesicles to stop arthritic progression and add cushioning and structural support to joints.

What causes Osteoarthritis?

default

Osteoarthritis is a multifaceted degenerative process. For many patients, the onset of Osteoarthritis is a result of an acute trauma to the joint. Joint trauma results in an aggressive increase of inflammatory cytokines, causing not only pain, but increased expression of protease enzymes that damage cartilage and destroy the cells that produce new collagen. As we age, our capability to heal is blunted as joints become largely avascular, trapping these joint damaging enzymes and inflammatory proteins within the joint capsule. Our capability to fight inflammation and repair tissue is further suppressed by a multitude of factors, including, but not limited to hormonal decline, reduced expression of anti-inflammatory enzymes and gene markers, a reduced number of endogenous stem cells, and a co-morbid metabolic disease process, such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Disease, and Obesity.

What is Protein-Rich Plasma (PRP) and how can it help Arthritis?

PRP injections use your body's natural healing process to treat Arthritis. PRP injections concentrate platelets that contain growth factors from your own blood and inject them into the affected joint that help repair damaged tissues.


Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help treat Arthritis by reducing inflammation, improving mobility, regenerating cartilage, increasing hyaluronic acid, stimulating blood vessel formation and improving joint function in the joints.

What is Alpha-2-Macroglobulin and how can it help Arthritis?

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (α2M) is a naturally occurring protease inhibiting protein that can be found in blood and the synovial fluid of our joints. When available in sufficient amounts, Alpha-2-Macroglobulin inactivates all classes of proteases, reducing the cartilage destroying effects these enzymes have on tendons and ligaments, as well as the cartilage that serves as cushioning at the articulating surfaces of our joints.


Unfortunately, as we age, the α2M concentration within our joints drops, resulting in an insufficient amount available to render proteases inactive. The avascular nature of the joint capsule itself limits the ability of α2M in our blood from being delivered to the joint.


At Belleview Spine and Wellness, our team of Regenerative Specialists have found the solution to joint pain by unlocking the healing potential of α2M. Utilizing a patient’s own blood, a special filtration process allows our team to collect naturally occurring α2M and deliver it directly to damaged joints. Intra- joint delivery of supplemental α2M is clinically proven to inactivate cartilage damaging proteases, increase collagen and promote cartilage production.

If chronic Osteoarthritis and joint pain are stopping you from enjoying the lifestyle you want, Alpha-2-Macroglobulin may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Contact our office today for a free evaluation today and find out if you’re a candidate for non-surgical, non-narcotic pain intervention.
