Regenerative Medicine in San Dimas
Regenerative medicine uses advanced therapies that work with the body's natural healing response to address pain and support damaged or slow-healing tissue.
Regenerative Options & When We Use Them
PRP Therapy
Uses a concentrated portion of your own blood as part of the treatment process.
A small blood sample is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets before being injected into the treatment area. PRP may be considered for certain tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue problems that have continued despite more conservative care.
Amniotic & Umbilical Tissue Products
Tissue-based products that may be used as part of a broader treatment plan.
These donated and processed tissue products are different from stem cell therapy. Dr. Oghoorian can explain what type of product is being considered, why it may be appropriate for your condition, and what to expect from treatment.
Red Light Therapy
A non-invasive treatment used alongside other care for certain painful or slow-healing conditions.
Treatment involves exposing the targeted area to specific wavelengths of light during a short in-office session. It may be incorporated into a larger treatment plan depending on the condition being treated and how it is responding.
In-Office Laser Therapy
A non-invasive option that can be performed during an office visit.
Laser therapy may be used alongside other treatments for certain soft-tissue injuries and painful conditions. Dr. Oghoorian will determine whether it has a role in your care rather than using it as a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis
Persistent heel pain that hasn't improved enough with initial treatment.
Regenerative options may be considered after treatments such as stretching, footwear changes, orthotics, and activity modification have been tried. The choice depends on how long the pain has lasted and what is contributing to it.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Ongoing Achilles pain or irritation that continues to limit walking, exercise, or sports.
Dr. Oghoorian will first assess the tendon and what may be placing stress on it. For certain chronic cases, regenerative treatments may be considered alongside changes to activity, footwear, rehabilitation, or other care.
Chronic Foot & Ankle Pain
Pain that continues despite rest, activity changes, or other conservative treatments.
Persistent pain can have many causes, so treatment starts with identifying the source. If the problem involves a tendon, ligament, or other soft tissue, Dr. Oghoorian can determine whether a regenerative option belongs in the treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Regenerative options like PRP and tissue based therapies are generally well tolerated, using your own biology or FDA regulated tissue products rather than a drug.
Patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, or pain that hasn't responded to conservative care are often good candidates. Dr. Oghoorian will confirm during a consultation.
PRP is derived from your own blood, while amniotic and umbilical cord tissue options come from donated tissue. Both aim to support the body's natural healing process, and Dr. Oghoorian will recommend which fits your condition.
Cost varies by treatment type and whether your insurance covers it. Our office will walk you through pricing and any self-pay costs before you begin.
Not always, but for many patients it offers meaningful relief without the downtime of surgery. Dr. Oghoorian will help you understand whether it, surgery, or conservative care fits your situation.
