Dr. Chekemian is amazing! My left are was almost useless when I first started coming there and now you would have to watch to see anything wrong. She puts me through an interview process about my pain before recommending treatment. Nerve problems are hard but not for her! Bob is very helpful as well.

Questions & Answers

What should I expect from regenerative medicine treatment?

First, Dr. Chekemian reviews your symptoms and medical history and performs a physical exam to make sure regenerative medicine is right for you. Then, she creates an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Depending on the type and severity of your condition, Dr. Chekemian may recommend PRP, stem cell therapy, or both. She discusses the details of your regenerative medicine treatment with you, including the type of stem cells involved, if any. For PRP treatments, Dr. Chekemian first draws a small amount of blood from your arm. Then, she processes it to isolate the PRP and injects it into the treatment area. It’s normal to experience increased pain and swelling for several days after a PRP injection, but it should subside as the tissues heal over the course of several weeks.

Regenerative medicine focuses on replacing or regenerating the cells, tissues, and organs in your body to restore normal function. As a leader in the field of regenerative medicine, Dr. Chekemian uses well-established regenerative medicine techniques, including: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Platelet-rich plasma is your own blood that’s processed in a way that increases the concentration of platelets. Though best known for their blood-clotting abilities, platelets also contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors that play an important role in healing. Stem cell therapy Stem cells are capable of turning into many types of cells, including bone, cartilage, and muscle. They’re the only cells in your body that can do this. When cells in your body are damaged by illness or injury, they may not be able to regenerate properly. Injecting healthy stem cells into an area of injury helps repair and replace damaged tissues. Your body contains mesenchymal stem cells in certain tissues, like fat (adipose) and bone marrow. Mesenchymal stem cells may also come from donors. These stem cells get processed in a lab to ensure safety and quality.
