LET’S TALK ABOUT SPORTS INJURIES
Peptides, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and biologics are increasingly utilized in sports medicine for their potential to accelerate the healing process of sports injuries. Peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance angiogenesis, which is critical for healing tendons and ligaments.
PRP involves drawing blood from the patient, concentrating the platelets, and injecting them into injured areas to leverage the growth factors within the platelets that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. This treatment can be particularly effective for chronic tendon injuries like tennis elbow or acute muscle strains, potentially reducing recovery time and improving outcomes.
Biologics, including stem cell therapies, offer another avenue by potentially regenerating damaged tissues by introducing cells that can differentiate into various tissue types. Together, these modalities provide a targeted approach to healing, focusing on natural repair mechanisms rather than just masking symptoms, which can help athletes return to play more quickly and with a lower risk of re-injury.
While I am limited in this introduction to stem-cell therapies, it is essential to understand that not all stem-cell therapies are alike. I was a principal investigator on a trial that involved capturing ADLH Bright cells (a signaling cell to turn on stem cells after a vascular injury like stroke). In the trial, patients had these cells extracted from their bone marrow and then injected into the carotid artery on the side of a recent stroke. The study lost funding, but in the initial trial involving rats, the rats grew back almost 70% of their brain and regained function compared to the rats that were omitted from the treatment. Note that in this study, we did not inject stem cells; rather, we injected something to signal the stem cells to regenerate tissue.
In order to convert and form new tissue in regions of injury, stem cells must have a signal. In one study, autologous stem cells were marked with a radioisotope so they could be seen on a special scanner. After injecting in patient’s knees, the stem cells were only in the region for 8 minutes before leaving. They had no signal. Many of us use mesenchymal stem cells derived from the umbilical cord (Wharton’s Jelly), which contain both stem cells, signalers, and growth factors. There are other variants, like stem-cell-derived exosomes, which I will explore in a future article.
The bottom line is that just because someone says, “We do stem cell therapy,” it doesn’t mean it will work.
Are Regenerative Therapies for Nagging Injuries Right For You?
If you are suffering from acute or chronic sports injuries, peptide and biologic options can help the body heal itself. These therapies require no surgery and are being proven to be safe and effective alternatives to traditional steroids, NSAIDs, and surgery. At OB Men, we are experts on using the body to heal nagging injuries. Call OB Men today to schedule your consultation with our physician, Dr. Darryl Camp.
