Regenerative Cell Therapy

Specifically targeted cellular therapy to help you move better, feel better and live better.

Suffering from painful injuries and the daily frustrations of being unable to enjoy your favorite activities shouldn’t be part of an active lifestyle. Regenerative cell therapy can help.

A New Path To Recovery

Thanks to advanced regenerative cell therapy options, your body’s natural healing mechanisms can be harnessed, concentrated, and specifically targeted to help you move better, feel better and live better — faster.

Dr. Joseph Albano’s targeted regenerative medicine procedures can help you feel stronger than ever and get you back to doing what you love.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

Regenerative Orthopedics has rapidly become a vital alternative for patients who once only had the option of surgery. From elite athletes to weekend warriors, Dr. Albano’s patients have consistently benefited from the transformative power of regenerative medicine treatments.

There are two different types of cells used in regenerative cellular therapy: one type that comes from your own body and others that are obtained outside the body from a variety of sources. To ensure maximum healing potential, each and every injection is precisely placed using either

ultrasound or fluoroscopy technology. In addition to regenerative medicine injections, bridge treatments such as PRP, prolotherapy and hyaluronic acid injections can help you get through your ski season or big match — or even help you manage an injury until you’re ready for a full treatment.

Regenerative Cellular Treatments

As no two injuries or people are exactly alike, Dr. Albano customizes each biologic injection to best fit the needs of his patients.

The type and course of treatments vary from person to person and the range of recovery is based on the “strength” of the material injected. Most treatments range between the “better” and “best” options, however, every treatment plan is personalized to fit each patient’s individual needs.

After your treatment, your body will continue to heal over time. Many patients experience a plateau in the healing process at four months, but some continue to heal over the next year.

Dr. Albano and his experienced staff will walk you through the treatment process, providing clear guidance and understanding as you take the steps back to the active life you love.

I’ve learned a great deal helping professional athletes recover from injuries to get back out on the playing field. Many times there is a rush to surgery and an over reliance on band-aid fixes like anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids. As an endurance athlete myself, I know what a setback an injury is and how frustrating it can be to be treated like a body part and not a whole person. In my practice, I have created a whole-body approach that looks at all aspects of what’s behind your injury or condition and employ a wide range of tools.— Dr. Joseph Albano, M.D.

Targeted Innovation

clinic-screenshot-for-Innovation-section

Recognized as a pioneer in his field and held as a leading expert in musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance for orthopedic cellular therapy, Dr. Joseph Albano’s focus on innovation has kept him on the cutting-edge of regenerative medicine.

For cell injections to be effective, the correct location of each injection has to be exactly pinpointed and the placement of the cells into the tissues needs to be precise.

These precise injection guidance techniques guarantee that each and every treatment is delivered to the optimum spot to promote healing.

As a leader in the field, he also regularly teaches courses around the country on the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance for diagnostic and needle-guided purposes.

Since 2007 Dr. Joseph Albano’s patients have gone on to move better, feel better and live better thanks to regenerative medicine and the healing power of targeted regenerative cell treatments.

FAQs

What is the difference between regenerative cell therapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments? Expand

Regenerative cells are usually harvested from a patient’s healthy bone marrow. To harvest PRP, we draw your blood and then concentrate the platelets. We then precisely inject the regenerative cells and concentrated platelets into the damaged area, and both biologics go to work to help repair the damaged tissues.

We typically use both regenerative cells and PRP when treating patients. However, there are times when we use just PRP. Every treatment plan varies according to the individual needs of our patients.

I’m not an athlete. Will these regenerative cell or PRP procedures still help me? Expand

Absolutely! While many professional athletes have made these treatments more well-known, most of our patients are just regular people who want to feel, move and live better.

What types of conditions have a high success rate with stem cell therapy? Expand

Regenerative cell therapy is a better alternative to surgery for many injuries and conditions. It is the first-line treatment for conditions such as tendinosis, tendon tears (if not too large), plantar fasciitis, meniscal tears, labral tears, osteoarthritis (if not too severe), and mild to moderate neuropathies (carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes).

As with any condition, the more severe the problem is, the more difficult it is to treat. We may treat more severe conditions. However, these conditions will likely require more aggressive treatment.

If it’s too severe, Dr. Albano may recommend surgery. With any type of injury, the sooner you come in for evaluation, the better your chance for success.

Where exactly are these regenerative cells obtained? Expand

We work with two different types of cells. The first type of cell comes from your own healthy bone marrow.

There are many living stem cells in these tissues.

The second type of cell does not come from your body. These tissues contain healthy growth factors that boost your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Typically discarded, these tissues are gathered safely and ethically and no babies are harmed in the process.

A Smart Investment In My Health

Coming to Dr. Albano and investing the time and money into the treatment he recommended was a wonderful decision. The process of recovery was challenging at times, and I am still not able to do 100% of the physical activities that I would like to be doing, but I am seeing improvements every week. I have gained so much functionality in my knee and I am doing things with less pain and more confidence. I am so happy to found Dr. Albano and his team!

Living Pain Free

I am 6 weeks out from my PRP/stem cell treatment and have found so much improvement and less pain. Dr. Albano and his staff are so professional and explained everything to me. I was impressed with the ultrasound he gave me to determine just what my problem was. I would recommend the Albano Clinic to anyone who is looking for an alternative to surgery, cortisone injections, etc.

The Relief of a Full Recovery

I have been in some pretty intense pain with sciatica and a herniated disc. I came to Albano clinic and they got right on it for setting me up for full recovery. I have appreciated the personal touch and the feeling that my health and experience is very important to them. Dr. Joe, explains things clearly and really looks into getting you on the correct path for you, and not just a generic "fix-all" experience. His concern is that you are set on the right path to recovery...

Dr. Albano knows what's best!

Doctor Albano is quite sympathetic to my desires to keep my 50+ self going. I have been seeing him for nine year go and he has kept my bad hip, achilles(x2), elbow, shoulder and now knee in good enough condition to continue skiing and playing lacrosse. Very Good Doctor with great way about him.

Regenerative Medicine Works

Traditional medicine would have had me in invasive surgical procedures years ago! Thankfully I found Dr. Albano who has the experience to know that surgery isn't the first line of medicine.
