Regenerative Pre-Treatment
Preparing for Regenerative Pre-Treatment
Guidelines to help you prepare for your pre-treatment
Taking a few simple steps in advance can make a meaningful difference in how comfortable you feel before your visit, and how well your body responds afterward. This page walks you through what to do, what to pause, and what to keep in mind so you can arrive confident, informed, and ready for care.
At Medlink Health Solutions, we harness the potential of regenerative medicine to unlock and amplify your body’s natural healing abilities. To guarantee optimal outcomes from your regenerative orthobiologic therapy, we’ve mapped out these practical steps for your convenience and to help ease you on your transformative journey.
Regenerative treatments work by supporting your body’s own repair process. Preparing properly helps create the strongest environment for that healing response, especially in the days leading up to treatment. Think of this as setting the stage so your body can do what it does best.
If you find yourself with any questions about regenerative medicine or the guidelines outlined below, please don’t hesitate to connect with a MedLink professional. We’re here to offer personalized support and guidance every step of the way.
THE WEEK PRIOR TO YOUR TREATMENT
This week is all about helping your body enter treatment in a well-supported, low-inflammation state. Please start these steps as early as you can during the week before your appointment.
- Fill out your pre-treatment form
- Discontinue Anti-Inflammatories: Refrain from using anti-inflammatory medications like Aleve, Aspirin, and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for 7-14 days before your scheduled treatment.
- Blood-Thinning Agents: Pause non-essential blood-thinning agents, such as Vitamin E and Omega-3s, as well as prescription medications that promote bleeding or bruising for 7-14 days before and after treatment. It’s wise to consult your physician for any prescription-related adjustments.
- Corticosteroids: If you’re on corticosteroids, consult your physician for guidance on discontinuing usage at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
- Reduce Sugars and Processed Foods: Start cutting back on sugar and processed foods, as they suppress the immune system. This preparation paves the way for a sugar-free period after treatment.
- Stay Hydrated: Aim for a daily intake of at least 60 ounces of clean water to optimize hydration and support the healing process.
ON THE DAY OF YOUR TREATMENT
- Nourish Your Body: Fuel up with lean proteins, organic fruits, and vegetables before your treatment. This provides your body with essential nutrients to facilitate its natural healing mechanisms.
- Plan for Rest: After treatment, limit physical activity to enable your body to focus on healing. Your physician will provide recommendations based on your lifestyle and needs.
- Driver Arrangement: Consider arranging for a driver if needed, especially if you anticipate any discomfort. This ensures your safety and comfort, particularly if the treated area is sensitive.
- Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Enhance the effectiveness of regenerative tissue therapy by refraining from alcohol and caffeine consumption for 72 hours before and after treatment.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Our experienced MedLink professionals may advise against regenerative therapy in certain cases, such as:
- If you develop: a fever, cold or flu; start to notice any blemish, rash, open wound, or infection in or near the area to be treated. We request that you contact MedLink Health Solutions as soon as possible to discuss and possibly reschedule your treatment(s). We will not administer any regenerative treatments while your body is experiencing a healing crisis.
- If you are a tobacco user. Nicotine is an immune system suppressant; therefore, our physicians may recommend alternative therapies instead of Regenerative Medicine for patients currently using nicotine products including vaping.
- If you have a personal history of cancer. We decline to utilize Regenerative Medicine as it has the potential to do more harm than good in a cancer-stricken environment. “Please consult with your physician if you have questions or concerns.”
We aim to get to the root of the cause of your pain and resolve to help your body heal naturally and continue to provide the care you need to keep you moving forward.
