Your Body is Genetically Programmed to Heal

December 17, 2020

Did you know that your body is genetically programmed to heal?

Don't believe me?

Think back to the last time that you cut yourself, what happened to the cut?

I bet your body - that is genetically programmed to heal - pulled that wound together, created new skin, and over time it worked like new again. That is your body's innate intelligence that tells your body to heal when it's wounded. That is your stem cells hard at work!


However, some people don't heal as quickly, or all the way, because the environment within the body is not in a good place for healing. Far too often people use degenerative therapy, like drugs, that break the body down rather than supporting the body. Additionally, as we age, those ever-important cells decrease in number and potency, allowing inflammation and degenerative diseases to take over. Degenerative diseases all have the same characteristics: they are inflammatory, they create immune dysregulation, and they encourage degeneration.


Regenerative Medicine has the ability to work with your body's innate intelligence and create a healthier environment for cells to replicate and regenerate healthy tissue. Regenerative medicine is anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and helps grow and repair new tissue.


What does this mean?

This means if you have chronic pain, you now have hope! If you have chronic joint pain, regenerative medicine can help bring you relief and encourage regeneration of new tissue.
