About Regenexx™
How Regenexx™ Procedures Work
Bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and Platelet derived growth factors are in all of us and they are responsible for healing injured bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and other tissues. They are the key components behind the Regenexx Procedures. As we get older or injured, we sometimes cannot get enough of these cells into the area to heal. The Regenexx™ Procedures help solve this problem by precisely delivering a high concentration of bone marrow concentrate and platelets into the injured area aiding your body’s ability to heal naturally. Patients experience very little down time and they typically avoid the long, painful rehabilitation periods that often follow surgery to restore joint strength and mobility.
Is Regenexx™ Right For You?
If you have been diagnosed with one the following conditions, Regenexx is good news!
- Unstable Ligaments and Joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, pelvis, knee, ankle and foot)
- Avascular Necrosis ( stages 1-4 ) of the shoulder, hip, knee, or ankle
- Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, foot or hand
- Tears of the rotator cuff, tennis or golfer’s elbow, hamstring, gluteus, quadriceps, patella tendon, achilles, plantar fascia, sports hernia, groin pulls, peroneal, posterior tibial tendon
- Other cartilage injuries such as a knee meniscus tear, hip labral tear, shoulder labral tear, TFCC tear in the wrist, osteochondral or chondral injuries to the articular cartilage in all joints
An Overview of Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)
Bone marrow concentrate is found inside each person and function in adults to heal injured tissues. As people age or experience injuries, their concentration may not be high enough to effectively heal all parts of their body. Since bone marrow concentrate naturally self-renews, they expedite healing and allow for a fuller recovering of worn out of damaged tissue. By placing a patient’s own BMC strategically, the body is able to heal itself without any surgical procedures.
As a sports medicine physician, Dr. Dixon remains active and encourages patients to do the same. Dr. Dixon and her husband, Chris, recently summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, on 7/31/21.
