At Pittsburgh East Health Center, non-invasive medical procedures are the mainstay of our practice. Using the most up to date techniques, our staff treats patients as whole people, providing a comprehensive diagnostic assessment in order to design a customized strategy for relief from medical concerns in Pittsburgh.The technology has advanced to a point that, at Pittsburgh East Health Center, we apply regenerative medicine designed to help our patients attain their wellness goals and achieve a higher quality of life.

For instance, until recently, treatment options for people with osteoarthritis of the knee were limited. Steroid injections, joint replacement surgery, and physical therapy were often the only treatment options. Now, in Pittsburgh, regenerative injections for knee osteoarthritis are available, at Pittsburgh East Health Center. Regenerative cellular therapy also has applications for treating Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff tendonitis, and degenerative arthritis.

These injections work with the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Unlike treatments that simply address the symptoms, regenerative therapy actually promotes repair of the body, restoring degenerated tissue. Regenerative injections also contain hyaluronan, which eases pain and restores mobility by lubricating joints and tendons. This therapy fits well with Pittsburgh East Health Center’s integrated approach to wellness, addressing the source of issues, rather than just treating the symptoms.
