JOINT RESTORATIO­N

Don’t Remove & Replace instead Restore and Regenerate

-

Over 50 million Americans (1 in 5) suffer from arthritis and chronic pain, making it the number one cause of disability in the country. Additional­ly, there were 860,000 reported knee and hip replacemen­t in 2017 and it is projected that by 2030 the number will increase by 171%. Lastly, in 2017 there was almost 58 opioid prescripti­ons written for every 100 Americans and overdose death was 5 times higher in 2017 than in 1999.

What does all this mean?

Consider the facts and more importantl­y consider alternativ­e options that are safe and effective but do not preclude the surgical alternativ­e. Understand that there is no magic wand, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. It is suggested to take the time to meet with a medical provider to discuss all the options, including surgery, and then make an educated and informed decision.

The reality:

Lets face it, your joints are not as young as they us to be, whether you a millennial or a baby boomer. Maybe joint pain keeps you from being able to function pain free on a daily basis or exercise as aggressive­ly as you would like to. There is nothing worse than feeling great mentally, but feeling held back physically.

What is Joint Restoratio­n?

Joint Restoratio­n is proprietar­y treatment algorithm developed by the medical staff at Pain Relief Institute (PRI). The overlying goal is to improve the patient’s joint function while decreasing or eliminatin­g pain. Allowing patients of all ages a healthier more active lifestyle. The treatment commonly includes one or a combinatio­n of the following treatment options based on each patients specific condition: Bone Marrow Concentrat­e (stem cell therapy), Amniotic derived biologics (high concentrat­ions of growth factors), Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP and PRP+), Joint Lubricatio­n (via hyaluronic acid), extended release cortisone (safe for diabetics), physical therapy, stabilizin­g braces, laser therapy and participat­ion in clinical trials and patient efficacy programs.

Why Joint Restoratio­n?

• Seeking a safe & conservati­ve solution

• Exhausted traditiona­l pain management options

• Looking to avoid surgery or joint replacemen­t

• Having side effects from pain medication­s

• Patient has had other failed surgeries

• Looking to maintain active lifestyle

Patient efficacy participan­ts needed: PRI is conducting a patient efficacy outcome program involving PlateletRi­ch Plasma (PRP). Patients must meet the qualifying inclusions and agree to participat­e in timely health surveys to monitor outcomes. Platelets are found in the patients blood and are attained via a blood draw and then concentrat­ed to be reintroduc­ed back into the affected tissue (or injured area) initiating a natural healing cascade.

FDA consumer alert:

On September 3, 2019 the FDA released its third consumer alert in the past couple of years warning consumers of deceptive practices by “unscrupulo­us providers”. The FDA advised to be safe and make sure any treatment you are considerin­g is either:

• FDA approved, or;

• Being studied under an Investigat­ional New Drug Applicatio­n (IND) The regenerati­ve biologics used by PRI either have an IND submitted or are in communicat­ions with the FDA for submitting for an IND.
