- Emergency medical attention for life-threatening injuries
- Diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, to assess the extent of your injuries
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) for sprains, strains, and bruises

Regenerative Medicine Treatments for Severe Car Accident Related Injuries
For more severe car accident injuries, regenerative medicine treatments that include human cellular tissue therapy and PRP therapy. These treatments consist of injections that help your body resolve the underlying cause of your pain. Each treatment has its own unique characteristics and can be an effective part of your treatment protocol.
Human cellular tissue (HCT): HCT therapy is derived from the Wharton’s Jelly that’s found in umbilical cords. It contains high levels of potent healing compounds like cytokines, growth factors, proteins, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and more. We get this tissue from accredited tissue banks. It is donated by willing mothers and collected after a successful C-section birth.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): PRP therapy is derived from a sample of your own blood that’s been spun in a centrifuge. The resulting PRP contains healing properties that are injected into your damaged or degraded tissue to help speed up the healing process.
Both of these regenerative medicine treatments are minimally invasive. They also require little to no downtime. This makes them a viable alternative to conventional surgeries or pain medication.
