Regenerative Medicine
Helping your body heal itself
WHAT IS regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine is a field that spans several decades and comes in many different forms. We intend to provide a variety of orthobiologics to help you feel better and possibly avoid major surgical procedures. Orthobiologics are substances that are used to improve the healing of fractured bones and injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They are derived from substances that are naturally found in your body. These products contain a multitude of components including growth factors, cytokines, collagens, proteins, extracellular matrix, and hyaluronic acid.
We offer an in-depth description of the regenerative medicine products we are now offering at the Zehr Center for Orthopaedics. We encourage you to download the PDF. We believe that being a fully informed, prepared patient is an important contributing factor to a successful treatment outcome. To that end, we will be building out a library of videos about regenerative medicine.

LEARN MORE about Regenerative Medicine Therapies
Our revolutionary regenerative medicine products utilize both your healing potential — only amplified — or the natural healing components contained in birth tissues that are typically discarded after a normal C-section birth. The products we use are from reputable and well-established developers of regenerative products that follow all AATB (American Association of Tissue Banks), AABB (American Association of Blood Banks), and FDA requirements, meeting the highest quality assurance standards.
It has been discovered that stem cells, extracellular vesicles, exosomes, and many other healing proteins and chemicals that help your body to heal many of the pathologies that plague us as we grow older are found in the tissues (placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid) donated by healthy, consenting mothers at the time of their C-section delivery — much as blood or organs are donated by one person to another.
If you do progress to surgery with the Zehr Center for Orthopaedics, you will receive a three-ring binder filled with information, which we refer to as “The Guidebook.” Many patients, in their testimonials, refer to this notebook as being extremely helpful, as it explains step-by-step what to expect before, during, and after surgery. The Guidebook is but one component of the “Zehr Center of Excellence” approach to integrated care for our patients. It is a foundational part of our approach to patient education which we call our Rapid Recovery Program.
