• Regenerative Medicine

  What if the key to healing your body was already inside you? At Zanesville Medical Center in Zanesville, Ohio, regenerative medicine is changing lives, one patient at a time. Using mesenchymal stem cells, this innovative and research-backed procedure enables your body to regenerate new tissue, boost your immune system, and even delay the aging process. The lab we use also is composed of growth factors to help stimulate growth, cytokines to help promote stem cell growth, hyaluronic acid used to help increase lubrication and helps stop compression in the joint. To learn more about regenerative medicine, call the office or request an appointment using the online tool. REGENERATIVE MEDICINE Q & A What is regenerative medicine? Mesenchymal stem cells are naturally found in adult placental tissue, as well as our own bone marrow, and they have potent healing properties that allow your body to repair damage, fight inflammation and disease, and even reverse the signs of aging. During a regenerative medicine treatment, your Zanesville Medical Center physician will inject adult placental mesenchymal stem cells as well as a growth factor and hyaluronic acid into the areas of your body that need healing or repair. After this process is complete, the mesenchymal stem cells regenerate into the different types of cells that your body most needs to repair itself. As an efficient and easy way to address common health problems like soft tissue repair or wound healing, regenerative medicine is gaining popularity because of its reported effectiveness and its quick recovery time. What happens during a regenerative medicine procedure? A regenerative medicine procedure is usually quite fast and painless. Your physician will give you a local anesthetic to make you comfortable. In most cases, your physician will use adult placental mesenchymal stem cells for this regenerative treatment for the osteoarthritic joints that are causing problems. Some patients might have more than one treatment over several days or weeks. It’s unlikely you’ll experience any negative side effects, and most people can get back to their normal activities right after the procedure. What are the benefits of regenerative medicine? Regenerative medicine can be a viable alternative to more invasive healing methods, like surgery. Surgery is often painful, can result in long recovery times and infection, and may leave you with a loss of mobility or function. In contrast, a mesenchymal stem cell injection is a 15-minute procedure that has no recovery time and has no reported adverse effects. Since mesenchymal stem cells only create and grow what's needed ― like cartilage, ligaments, tendon, muscle, bone, or nerves ― they reproduce at the site until the job is over. That allows your body to repair itself, which is always the preferred option when it comes to your health. Ultimately, regenerative medicine is treating the cause of the problem and has the potential to change patients lives for the better.

Zanesville Medical Center is here to help you take control of your weight loss journey. WEIGHT LOSS MANAGEMENT Q&A WHAT MEDICATIONS ARE BEING USED? Our office has chosen to use Semaglutide and Tirzepatide due to being FDA Approved and the large amount of success shown on the market. HOW DOES IT WORK? Semaglutide mimics the effect of the human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Which is a natural hormone the body produces in response to eating. It increases insulin secretion, thereby increasing sugar metabolism. The GLP-1 receptors are located in areas of the brain that regulate appetite. Semaglutide activates these receptors to make you feel full and less hungry. Tirzepatide mimics the efects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). The GIP hormone stimulates insulin secretion. Together, they help control blood sugar levels, reduce appetite by slowing digestion, and encourage weight loss. Both methods have shown to have success in clinical trials. If you are being treated for diabetes, please continue to see and consult your primary health care provider. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Helps achieve sustainable weight loss Decreased appetite through slowed digestion Helps improve metabolic health Trials show reduced risk of cardivascular problems Convenient medication administration schedule Minimal side effects for most patients WHAT TO EXPECT WITH MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?

In almost all cases, patients report an enjoyable or pleasurable sensation and additionally, if the vasopneumatic device is also applied in conjunction with the ECST, patients experience a gentle pulsation and massage. ECST involves the use of electric modalities of pharmaceutical strength and using resonant frequencies and associated harmonics in ranges much greater than conventional TENS. Under the direction of a trained medical professional using the proper ECST protocol, patient dosage and anatomical electrode application, these specialized medical devices can safely and effectively treat most all the pain and circulatory (vascular) conditions.
