Your Injection is No Better than Your Image: Raising the Bar in Regenerative Medicine Treatment

Your Injection is No Better than Your Image: Raising the Bar in Regenerative Medicine Treatment

May 21, 20171 min read

This statement is not meant to be confrontational in any sense of the word. It is, though, an irrefutable fact, and a call to maintain the highest standard of bio-cellular delivery. In a previous post, the direct relationship of optimal response to precise placement of the regenerative/bio-cellular product was emphasized. It’s true!

I have had the opportunity to develop MSK protocols in four regenerative practices. Without exception, the facilities reported vastly more positive response to treatment. Why? For example, in a shoulder case, MSK Ultrasound readily identifies bursal verses articular side supraspinatus defects . . . such as the degenerative changes of tendinosis. It is not always a tear!

AC Joint Instability and/ or Separation of Dynamic Real-Time Imaging

I have found supraspinatus impingement under the acromion to be rare and AC Joint Impingement on a frequent basis. AC Joint instability responds very well to precise placement with fenestration of the of the ligament/capsule complex. Multiple Sites within the same tendon, ligament or muscle often require specific deposits of bio-cellular product. Full spectrum or comprehensive treatment of an extremity can be as many as 8-10 specific sites. Ultrasound is the only modality that can offer this amazing specificity of treatment.

Additional Frequent Sites of Shoulder Treatment

Rotator Cuff Interval: Plays a Prominent Role in shoulder stability

Subscapularius Tendon: Range of Motion restrictions with calcification of tendinosis

True Intra-Articular Glenohumeral injections avoiding the labrum.
