If you’ve experienced any of these conditions, you may be a candidate for Regenerative Medicine.
Use your own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to reduce pain and stimulate your body's ability to heal itself.
If you have acute pain due to injury, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood can help stimulate your body's amazing ability to heal itself, naturally. Platelets are types of cells within the blood that contain growth and healing factors. When concentrated and injected into the damaged area these platelets release the growth factors and stimulate the body to heal itself.
The platelets in PRP play a primary part in the clotting of blood. They are also a rich resource of growth factors. Growth factors play an essential role in wound healing and the process of regeneration. But PRP also releases an abundance of other substances critical in the healing of wounds. PRP augments the creation of blood vessels, improves
healing of soft tissues, and enhances the regeneration of bone. Platelet rich plasma holds a concentration of platelets that is five to ten times the amount of platelets found in blood. Specifically, a platelet is a cell that is disk shaped.
Along with red and white blood cells, platelets circulate through the bloodstream. A platelet contains natural growth factors. Among them are proteins and cytokines. When bones or soft tissue -such as tendons or ligaments- are damaged, the growth factors in platelets stimulate healing of bone and soft tissues.
These proteins, cytokines and other growth factors in the PRP provide a number of ways to assist in the repairing of cell damage. They decrease inflammation, improve cell growth, and provide signaling to the immune system. In addition, particular types of cytokines focus on the creation of metabolic pathways that support cell recovery.
With PRP there is both no risk of the immune system rejecting the therapy or any risk of disease transmission. This is because the PRP is derived from your own blood. There is also no prolonged recovery time. In general, most people return to their jobs or usual activities right after the procedure.
Don't let pain or injury stop you from living the life you love.
(We also use PRP in conjunction with Stem Cell Therapy as a means to accelerate tissue regeneration in advanced degeneration. Learn more about Stem Cell Therapy using your body's own stem cells below)
"Regenerative medicine is a game-changing area of medicinewith the potential to fully heal damaged tissues and organs, offering solutions and hope for people who have conditions that today are beyond repair."

1
Initial consultation
Our expert physicians will meet with you by phone or in-person to review your medical history and will determine if you’re a good candidate for stem cell therapy. If we agree stem cell therapy can help, we’ll schedule your first appointment in our offices in either Kansas City or Manhattan, Kansas.

Treatment
In most cases our outpatient treatment takes four hours and is nearly pain free. You do not have to “go under.” On the day of your procedure, our physicians will collect stem cells using only local anesthesia - Fat is obtained from the low back or abdomen, bone marrow is obtained from the back part of the hip. After stem cell collection, you will relax in a private room. Once processed, your stem cells will be injected into the area of need using a highly sophisticated ultrasound instrument with enhanced needle visualization for precise delivery of your stem cells. We use a C-ARM for back injections. Fluroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-RAYS to obtain real time moving images of the interior of an object. In some cases, we also administer an IV of your stem cells during treatment to further enhance your body’s natural healing process.

Follow-up Treatment
There is virtually no recovery time from your stem cell therapy procedure. Most people are back to work the following day.
Physical Therapy - KRMC has partnered with several physical therapist providers specifically trained in therapy following regenerative treatments. The combination of regenerative medicine and physical therapy to correct biomechanical imbalances offers patients an empowering way to take control of their lives.
Our medical staff will remain in touch with you during your recovery process to answer questions.
Payment Options
Patients who are considered to be candidates will be invited for a consultation with one of our panel physicians completely free of charge. Treatment cost varies depending on the disease state being treated and which type of stem cell deployment is required. To apply for medical financing, visit Bank of the Flint Hills.

Experts With Integrity
Our expert doctors, technicians and staff are here to serve you. We work with the highest integrity and care to ensure that you’re informed, comfortable and cared for at every step.
Same Day Treatment
In as little as four hours, our doctors can collect and deploy your stem cells in a nearly painless procedure that requires only local anesthesia — and begins the healing process immediately.
Are You a Candidate?
Our research-based treatments use your own stem cells to accelerate your healing — without surgery.
