Why In-House Regenerative Medicine Labs Are Superior

Why does MCRM use an in-house regenerative medicine lab?

Most clinics use an automated bedside centrifuge that allows little control once cells are inside. The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine works with Greyledge Biotech for an in-house lab with trained technicians, more like a chef’s kitchen than a microwave, so each sample can be optimized for the patient’s needs.

At The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we have invested significant resources into providing the highest level of positive outcomes for our patients. To accomplish this goal, we have a modern regenerative medicine lab which gives us a number of advantages over other clinics who do not have such advanced equipment.

Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine Works with Greyledge Biotech

At The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we’ve worked with Greyledge Biotech, a provider of regenerative medicine lab services to office based clinics. Greyledge Biotech worked with our clinic to provide equipment, reagents chemicals and highly trained laboratory technicians who are able to provide the highest possible outcomes for our patients.

Why Our Approach is Superior to Traditional Regenerative Medicine Sample Collection

Most clinics that provide regenerative medicine utilize a bed side centrifuge where everything is completely automated. With this process you really have no control over the outcomes. Once the cells are in the centrifuge the work of the medical team is done. You can almost think of a bed side centrifuge as the “microwave” approach to regenerative medicine. Medical professionals have no control over the regenerative medicine process when using a bed side centrifuge.

An in-house regenerative medicine lab allows clinics to have a “chef’s kitchen” that allows experienced technicians to optimize based on an individual’s needs. At The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we’re able to optimize our regenerative medicine samples to help provide the highest level of outcomes compared to just sticking to the “microwave” style of regenerative medicine.

Wouldn’t you rather have the chef’s kitchen approach to regenerative medicine? If so, a call to Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine can be your first step to a new life and a new you!

Dr. Robert Farhat is extremely professional, educational & most of all cares about his patients. I went there for a tear in my shoulder, had platelet replacement therapy/surgery. (I had struggled for 6 months before this, going to PT, etc. no luck, and I did not want regular surgery.) I am back to lifting weights as prior to my injury, hiking etc. I am a True believer in this type of medical procedure!

Dr. Nabity is awesome! He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!

This is only a review for the first consultation. I met with Dr. Santa Anna and I was very impressed with his ability to explain my options after looking at my previous MRI's and also doing ultra sound on my shoulder. I did not feel any pressure and he gave me multiple options with his opinion on what would be the best option. I have not gotten any procedures yet and will update after I do. This is for those that might be nervous about going here for their first consultation.

After years of enduring excruciating pain and sleepless nights, I found relief at the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. Chronic back and shoulder discomfort had taken a toll on my well-being, leaving me fatigued and irritable. My family even nicknamed me "Shrek" due to my constant agony. However, thanks to the expert care I received at the center, I've experienced a remarkable transformation. Following treatment for my back and shoulder, I am now able to lift my arm over my head—a simple task that had eluded me for years. Today, I am no longer plagued by pain and misery, and I finally find myself living a life filled with happiness and comfort. (from Tom Lints)

I was having serious SI joint flares for a few months and was having a hard time working because of the pain and inability to walk very well. I then started physical therapy but was not able to do my exercises very well because of the pain. I heard about PRP and contacted the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. I was able to get PRP done the next week and it was a life saver! I truly thought I was never going to be the same again. All the staff and Doctor Santa Ana were super kind and helpful during the procedure. I felt better right away and have not had a flare since the procedure. I am so thankful and recommend this to anyone with severe pain!

Treatments That Benefit From EMG Testing

EMG testing is just the first step on your healing journey and will likely inform the doctor of the type of treatment you will need to receive. Here at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we have several options available to help your body heal naturally and avoid the need to undergo surgery.

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction and regenerative joint injection. Nerve pain stimulation works similarly to EMG testing and stimulates the nerves via electricity. Stem cells are a productive and relatively new procedure, which acts as a natural catalyst that uses your body’s own cellular building blocks to recover damaged tissues.

How An EMG Procedure Works

So, what can a Dearborn, MI resident expect from EMG testing? Intended to test the responsiveness of the electrical signals sent from your brain to the muscle nerves, EMG tests are minimally invasive and require a few injections to insert electrically sensitive needles. Still, they do not cause much pain and often don’t require pain management before or after the procedure. Once the electrodes are inserted, the doctor will likely ask you to flex and move around the offending muscle to test the electrical conductivity of the nerves as the brain sends signals. As our muscles do not conduct electric signals while at rest, movement is vital, and you may be asked to do several different movements for an accurate reading. EMG testing can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the responsiveness of your muscles.

After EMG testing, you may experience some soreness in the affected muscles. This soreness is normal and should not require any further treatment. In extreme cases, you may want to take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications to help with recovery, but nothing else will be needed.
