Alpha -2- macroglobulin (A2M)

A non-surgical treatment to overcome osteoarthritis
Alpha-2-Macroglobulin, or A2M, is a naturally occurring molecule found in your blood that acts as a powerful protector against cartilage breakdown. A2M attaches to and removes the destructive enzymes, called proteases, that damage cartilage cells and tissues in the joint or disc space.

The A2M Injection is a breakthrough treatment that can capture and neutralize these enzymes – effectively halting the destruction of the cartilage seen and felt in Osteoarthritis.

Io-core Osteochondral Defect Procedure

Using natural biologics to decompress pain inducing lesions, edemas, cysts, and insufficiency fractures by introducing high quality autologous biologic material to accelerate and promote healing of damaged subchondral bone and degenerated cartilage.

Core decompression will relieve edema and allow healthy blood flow back into the area. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concetrate – rich stem cells and growth factors – are then injected into the fracture/lesion which then signals osteogenic and osteoinductive potential, resulting in the acceleration of new bone formation.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMA)

Harness the power of your stem cells
Your body consists of a framework of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons working in unison. Injury or illness impacting your framework can impact your body’s overall performance. Research has shown that concentrated injection of stem cells from your bone marrow can reduce pain over time and accelerate the reparative process.
