Stem Cell Treatment by Dr. Joseph Purita
World Renowned Stem Cell Therapist
We are pleased to announce
that we are one of a few centers performing stem cell harvesting and
isolation of adipose mesenchymal stem cells.
The Institute of Regenerative and Molecular Orthopedics is a hybrid of traditional orthopedics, cutting edge regenerative medicine utilizing a variety of stem cells (including bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells), platelet rich plasma (PRP), various growth factors and supplements. This combination of different techniques (many of which we have devised and are our own intellectual property) leads to non-surgical solutions for many common orthopedic problems. These conditions run the gamut from simple tennis elbow problems to degenerative arthritis of the major joints of the body which would normally require joint replacements. Between these two extremes lie the vast majority of orthopedic aliments including rotator cuff injuries and enthesopathy, herniated discs and trigger points in the spine, a variety of ligamentous and meniscal injuries of the knee, ankle, and hip. These are all amendable to a variety of non-surgical techniques.
Dr. Joseph Purita and his staff have been featured in numerous publications. From the New York Times to ESPN The Magazine, the media have been abuzz about Dr. Purita's recent work with New York Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon. And his breakthrough stem cell treatment and professional sporting relations have made him a household name for ailing athletes.
There are some circumstances which require us to sometimes perform minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to enhance healing. This would include a micro fracture technique for degenerative arthritis of the knee for which we also utilize various growth factors to dramatically increase the formation of new cartilage.
Many centers describe stem cell treatment and platelet rich plasma injections as new techniques. These were new techniques to us approximately 2200 cases ago. Our techniques now are certainly improved over what we did two years ago. We are constantly striving to improve what already seems to be working very well. As can be ascertained from other portions of the web site, we are very much ahead of the curve when treating injuries with stem cells and prp treatment. We have taken the cutting edge future approach to orthopedic problems and made them into common every day solutions. Other centers may be using stem cells and or platelets, but they are not combining them with the methods which we are using.
