Dr. Zev Nevo Discusses Regenerative Medicine Program
Categories : Regenerative Rehabilitation
Dr. Zev Nevo discusses an overview of the application of regenerative medicine for orthopedic and sports medicine conditions and injuries. He emphasizes the necessity of patient-centered outcomes and the importance of finding the root causes of pain instead of treating symptoms in the short-term.
He discusses the importance of identifying impaired patterns (movements, positions, activities) and structural issues of each patient in order to create a custom-made rehabilitation plan. This is vital for injury prevention and prolongation of efficacy from treatments or interventions. –
– Concerns regarding traditional corticosteroids “cortisone” injections.
– Value of using ultrasound for diagnosis and imaging guidance for procedures to improve precision, safety and patient outcomes.
Treatments discussed include:
1. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
2. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)
3. Shockwave therapy
Regenerative orthobiologic treatments are unique evidence-based treatments strategies for treating chronic tendon and joint conditions and injuries. The long-term aim is to preserve and revitalize the integrity of injured tissues combined with a patient-specific rehabilitation therapy program (“regenerative rehabilitation”) with the following benefits:
1. Resolve immediate sources of pain
2. Improve and preserve integrity, structure and function of the injured tissue or joint.
3. Patient-specific functional goals are addressed in a post-procedure regenerative rehabilitation program.
4. Improved long-term outcomes decrease necessity of repeated injections or surgery in many cases.
