Comprehensive Medical Services Frequently Asked Questions
Are A2M injections safe?
An A2M injection deposits a rich supply of A2M protein directly into the injured area. The injected protein molecules quickly get to work, protease binding and removing destructive enzymes from your joint tissue.
At your appointment, your blood will be drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate it into red and yellow plasma. The yellow plasma, concentrated 6X with A2M protein molecules, will be re-injected into your joint.
The procedure is minimally-invasive, and not painful. Most patients tell us they feel an improvement in symptoms and mobility on the very same day. The anti-inflammatory effects may last for several months, to several years depending on your circumstances.
Early biologic treatments may relieve pain and may promote tissue repair. They could help slow joint changes, but they do not guarantee prevention of osteoarthritis.
Is PRP injections safe:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance that’s thought to promote healing when injected.
Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special “factors,” or proteins, that help your blood to clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. Researchers have produced PRP by isolating plasma from blood and concentrating it.
The idea is that injecting PRP into damaged tissues will stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and promote healing. Because the tissue growth factors are more concentrated in the prepared growth injections, researchers think the body’s tissues may heal faster.
The treatment hasn’t been definitively proven. It also hasn’t been approved as a treatment by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, famous athletes have been known to use these injections to help heal injuries.
What is the regulatory status of these therapies?
PRP and A2M are produced from your own blood and do not require separate drug approvals. Our umbilical-cord allograft is provided under the FDA’s human-tissue pathway and has not completed the drug-approval process for arthritis. All three options are considered investigational in joint care.
Are Wharton’s Jelly injections safe?
Immune reactions are uncommon, but every procedure carries some risk. We’ll review potential benefits and risks with you in detail.
Am I a good candidate for Precision medicine?
If you are looking for a more natural solution towards regenerating the body, we recommend you consult with one of our Regenerative Medicine Experts to discuss your specific issues.
What is the cost of Precision medicine?
The cost of care can range widely depending on the individual and their specific goals and needs. The average costs are much more affordable than people imagine.
Will insurance cover this?
Currently, no insurance company will cover regenerative medicine outside of bone marrow transplants.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we currently offer payment plans.
What is your refund policy?
Because procedure kits are prepared for each visit, fees are refundable only if you cancel at least 48 hours before your appointment.
What conditions do you help?
We are currently only able to provide care for orthopedic injuries and chronic pain and some internal body conditions.
Are there certain medications that can interfere?
Yes, certain medications and supplements may reduce the number of stem cells or interfere with your results. You can speak with your regenerative medicine specialist about any prescription medications or supplements you are taking at the time of your consultation.
Are there any side effects?
In a very small percentage of patients, we occasionally see a minor reaction of flu-like symptoms. This typically does not last more than 24-48 hours. This demonstrates the cells’ anti-inflammatory and immune-privileged potential. Also with any injection there could be swelling and inflamation. This usually goes away in 2 to 4 days
