Dear Toni,
If you’ve ever had a dog sustain an injury in their muscles, bones, or joints, you know how much of a problem it can be. The injuries can take months to heal, decreasing your dog’s quality of life, or they can prove so damaging that only an invasive, costly surgery can improve the condition.
But there’s a form of medicine that has the potential to change outcomes like these drastically: regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine enhances the body’s natural healing processes and includes therapies like stem cells, platelet-rich plasma and other advanced treatments.
While you’ve probably heard about stem cells before, you might not understand how it works or that it’s a complicated science still early in development for clinical applications.
