PalmaVita offers multiple regenerative treatments, and if you're new to this field, it can be confusing. MSCs, PRP, peptides, hormones, ozone—they're all different tools addressing different problems. So how do you know which one is right for you? Understanding Your Options Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) MSCs are the most comprehensive regenerative tool. Derived from umbilical […]
Every injured athlete faces a brutal choice: return to competition before you're fully healed, or miss games and risk losing your position, contract, or sponsorship. This is the fundamental tension in sports medicine. Return too soon and you risk reinjury, chronic pain, or career-altering complications. Wait too long and you miss opportunities that may never […]
"How long until I feel better?" is the first question most patients ask. The honest answer is: it depends on your specific condition and what "better" means to you. But here's what research and clinical experience show about realistic timelines. Week 1: Initial Response For some patients, improvements begin immediately. For others, nothing obvious happens. […]
You've rehabilitated your shoulder injury, done the physical therapy, and feel ready to return to sport. Three months later, you're injured again, same shoulder, different angle. This pattern is frustratingly common. Traditional rehabilitation focuses on the injured tissue, not the underlying factors that made you vulnerable to injury in the first place. That's where functional […]
Regenerative cell therapy isn't cheap. Most insurance companies don't cover it. For many patients, it represents a significant financial commitment. That's a legitimate consideration. But here's the question worth asking: what's the cost of not healing completely? The Quick Fix Problem Traditional injury recovery prioritizes speed over completeness. Rest, rehab, and return. Get back to […]
The field of regenerative medicine has advanced dramatically over the past two decades. But these advances mean nothing without clinicians who understand both the science and the precision required to deliver results. Dr. Josh Redd's training trajectory—from Johns Hopkins molecular biology research to clinical residency under regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Harry Adelson—represents the evolution of […]
There's a difference between a torn ACL and chronic joint pain. One is a specific traumatic injury; the other is your body in a persistent state of inflammation. Yet both can limit your performance, and both can benefit from regenerative cell therapy. Many people don't realize they're dealing with chronic inflammation until they try to […]
If you've researched regenerative cell therapy, you've likely heard about stem cells from different sources: bone marrow, fat tissue, and umbilical cord tissue. But not all stem cells are created equal, and the source matters significantly for athletic recovery. The Three Main Options Bone marrow stem cells are harvested through a needle extraction from the […]
You sprain your ankle. It heals, or so you think. But six months later, your knee starts hurting. A year later, your back is in chronic pain. You're not imagining it—one injury created a cascade of secondary problems. This is more common than you might think, and it's one of the biggest threats to athletic […]
If you have an autoimmune condition, you know the frustration: your immune system is attacking your own body. Conventional treatment tries to suppress it with medications that often come with serious side effects. But suppressing your immune system leaves you vulnerable to infections and other complications. What if there was a way to regulate your […]
