Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive modality that utilizes high-energy sound waves to cause microscopic changes to the tissue structure which stimulates healing of ligaments, tendons, and bone.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in synovial (joint) fluid that lubricates the joint and has anti-inflammatory properties that inhibit enzymes and markers responsible for joint degradation (MMPs, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha), pain, and inflammation (IL-1 Beta).
Platelet rich plasma utilizes the growth factors and cytokines stored in the alpha-granules of platelets to promote healing through paracrine (close) and endocrine (distant) cell signaling which triggers fibroblast proliferation and type I collagen production resulting in faster healing times and return to activity.
Alpha-2-Macroglobulin is a naturally occurring macromolecule present in low concentrations in circulation and joint fluid that function as a inhibitor of proteases responsible for joint degradation as well as a transporter of growth factors and cytokines when used in combination with platelet rich plasma.
Bone Marrow is a naturally occurring storage for a type of stem cell known as a mesenchymal signaling cells (MSCs). Similar to platelet rich plasma, BMAC utilizes paracrine (local) and endocrine (distant) signaling to promote homeostasis of the tissue environment it is placed, as well as provide regenerative properties unique to stem cells.
Tenex is a minimally-invasive alternative to conventional surgery that utilizes a blunt tool that uses ultrasonic energy at a frequency unique to diseased tissues that allows these tissues to be removed and replaced with connective tissue that promotes healing and reduces recovery time compared to traditional surgery and boasts a 90% success rate.
