Regenerative Medicinein Belleville
Healing From the Inside Out
At Belleway Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer regenerative medicine services that help your pet’s body repair and heal naturally. These advanced, science-backed therapies are designed to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and improve quality of life — especially for pets with chronic pain, orthopedic issues, or injuries that are slow to heal.
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine taps into your pet’s own healing ability using treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). This type of therapy supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster recovery without relying solely on medications or surgery.
Platelet-rich plasma is an autologous (self-derived) conditioned plasma that contains a high concentration of platelets. Platelets contain numerous growth factors that facilitate tissue repair and healing. These growth factors are contained in the alpha granule portion of the cell and are released from the platelet when it is activated (usually at an area of injury). A few examples of these growth factors are Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF). The roles of these growth factors range from vessel development and repair to cellular recruitment and activation.
When Is It Recommended?
We may recommend regenerative therapies to treat conditions such as:
Arthritis or joint degeneration
Ligament or tendon injuries
Hip or elbow dysplasia
Chronic pain or stiffness
Post-surgical recovery
Safe, Compassionate Care
