The Future is Here

Regenerative and transitional medicine is a new and revolutionary field of medical diagnostic and treatment. It focuses on repairing and healing tissues in an efficient and safe way.

These methods would’ve taken years and decades to reach patients and communities, but we’re bringing them to you now.

About Us

We are pioneers in Regenerative and Transitional Therapy. Our procedures promote healing, regulate cellular functions, implement immunomodulation and regenerate tissue.

We use a multidisciplinary, collaborative, safe and evidence-based approach to expedite bench-to-bedside delivery of medical advancement.

Our expertise

Regeneration

We use stem cells and other biologics to treat and repair damaged tissues. The advances in biotechnology and cell biology allow us to treat conditions that were deemed untreatable.

Remodulation

We boost the body’s natural healing potential by providing proteins and molecules. They eliminate any toxic and damaging processes in a tissue. It allows us to promote the tissue into a healthy state faster.

Rejuvenation

We use stem cells and other non-synthetic biologics to naturally restore tissues. We rejuvenate skin, joints and muscles, restore mobility and give them natural purity.

Anti-Aging

Our cutting edge treatments enrich aging skin with collagen and repair damaged DNA at the cellular level without any side effects.

Chondrostem™

Chondrostem™ is our proprietary technology; a marrow-based cell therapy allograft that regenerates, heals cartilage, and repairs damaged tissue.

It shuts down inflammation and degeneration as well as restores the natural matrix leading to full recovery and healing.

Osteoarthritis

Unfortunately, osteoarthritis can not be reversed. It’s why after trying medication and therapy, patients often turn to surgery, which isn’t the only option. Our treatments can reduce pain, help you move better, and heal.

  • Joint Pain

    Our procedures allow us to remodulate and regenerate the intra-articular cartilage towards healing without joint replacement with a 92% success rate.

  • Back Pain

    We are the only doctors in Canada that are able to repair mechanical back pain without surgery and substantially alleviate related problems.

  • Conditions treated
    • Osteoarthritis
    • Shoulder arthritis

150+ Patients Love


  • “I’m thrilled to report that both hips have miraculously returned to normal! No pain, no stiffness, great mobility….Hooray! So, if you agree, I am not going to go ahead with second PRP shots now, but take a wait and see position and hope that the first shots did the trick. My hands are now 70% better after only 4 days. Please advise when the earliest I can come back for the second shoulder shot.”


    Mr. Breslin

  • “I’ve started walking again, and my left knee feels fine, my right knee which was more degenerative, still aches when I’m walking, but not as much or as often as before. Swelling has gone quite a bit, and I’m being patient in regards allowing the treatment to take the time it needs for healing…already I am seeing improvements. Thanks very much for your help.”

    FAQ

    • What is Regenerative Therapy?

      Regenerative Therapy is a branch of translational research in tissue engineering and molecular biology which deals with the “process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function.”

    • What is PRP?

      PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, supports faster healing of soft tissue injuries of tendons, ligaments and muscles. It uses the body’s own blood to naturally stimulate tissue and wound healing, and may eliminate the need for more extensive treatment, such as surgery.

    • What are Stem Cells?

      Stem Cells are a regenerative cell-based therapy that can be used for the management of inflammatory conditions such as tendonitis, joint pain associated with early arthritis, and cartilage damage.

      When the body sustains damage from trauma, disease or simple wear and tear, it normally results in the formation of a wound. These wounds can be external or internal to the body, affect a specific tissue or structure, and often result in a void or loss of tissue. As part of the body’s normal healing mechanisms, a biological process begins to repair the damaged area. To help the body’s own healing mechanisms, stem cells can be used.

    • What Conditions are treated by Stem Cell and PRP injections?

      We use stem cell injections to treat inflammatory conditions and joint pain such as:

      • Osteoarthritis (knees and shoulders)
      • Plantar fasciitis
      • Tendonitis
      • Wrist and joint pain
      • Tennis or golf elbow
      • Rotator cuff tears
      • Bursitis
      • Muscle and tendon injuries such as calf and hamstrings

    • What are the Potential Benefits of Stem Cell and PRP Injections?

      Potential Benefits of Stem Cell and PRP Injections are the folowing

      • Potential Benefits of Stem Cell and PRP Injections are the folowing Improve symptoms
      • Regain function after injury
      • Eliminate the need for more aggressive treatments such as long-term medication or surgery

    Myths

    • The Stem Cells Used in SCT Come from Embryos

      Not true. They actually come from your own body. They are called Adult Stem Cells. Human fat tissue is the largest natural source of stem cells, but when you suffer an injury your body can’t supply enough of these valuable stem cells to the injured area. We use an Adipose Transfer System (ATS) to retrieve these stem cells and re-inject them to the injured area.

    • SCT is “against the law.”

      This myth relates to Myth #1, as the use of “embryonic” stem cells is considered controversial, especially in the U.S. But the use of Adult Stem Cells from your own body is approved by Canadian health agencies, and has even been blessed by religious leaders such as previous Pope Benedict.

    • Your Body Will “Reject” the Cells

      Some people confuse SCT with an organ transplant, in which some donor organs can be rejected. But since these are your body’s own cells being used, there is no chance for rejection.

    • SCT is as Invasive as Surgery

      Nothing could be further from the truth. Patients are only given a local anesthetic, the procedure only takes a few hours in an outpatient setting, and people are generally back to work within a day or two.

      The facts show that regenerative therapies like SCT empower people to live without pain, and take charge of their health.

      It’s time to recover fully, without surgery.
