Stop the Pain!

At Remedy, we believe in providing natural options to help reduce joint pain and other orthopedic issues.  Our goal is to help our patients delay the need for orthopedic surgery or avoid surgery altogether!  Many of our patients are advised by their orthopedic surgeon that surgery is their only option and told to “come back when you are ready”.  Does that sound familiar? Dr. Rolnik wants you to know the truth – there are a lot of remedies for your joint pain!

 

Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) is a naturally occurring protein in the blood that binds destructive enzymes that are destroying the cartilage in arthritic joints and removes them. Unfortunately, there is not enough A2M in the joints so by isolating this molecule and injecting it into a painful joint, patients can have substantial joint pain relief.  It works particularly well in patients who experience frequent knee swelling with exercise and regular day to day activities.

        • low risk

        • no downtime
        • done quickly typically within one hour

What to Expect

Dr. Rolnik will isolate your A2M after a simple blood draw.  The plasma is processed in our dedicated lab.  Next, she injects the concentrated A2M into your painful joint using ultrasound imaging for optimal injection accuracy.  Joint pain subsides quickly once the inflammation is reduced. 

 

A2M for Knee Arthritis Pain
A2M is isolated from your own healthy blood cells

Dr. Rolnik injects A2M either as a single therapy or in combination with another orthobiologic cellular therapy like Lipogems or PRP.  A2M can be thought of as a “joint sweeper” to clean the joint up then another injection a few weeks later may be advised to help in healing. Think of it like painting wood.  You would first clean and prep the wood prior to painting giving a great end result.
