Regenerative Medicine
At House of Healing, we know that chronic pain, fatigue, and tissue damage are not issues to be merely "managed" with constant prescriptions. They are signs that your body needs a deeper kind of support.
Regenerative medicine is the bridge between traditional science and cutting-edge healing. Under the guidance of Dr. Stephanie Abrams, we use advanced therapies like PRP, Totipotent Cells, and Stemwave™ to harness your body's innate power to repair itself, targeting the root cause of damage—not just the sensation of pain. Explore what’s possible, and begin your science-based journey to healing in Torrance, CA.
Using your body's own materials (cells, plasma) to rebuild and repair damaged tissue, joints, and cell function.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), Totipotent Cell Therapy, Stemwave™ (Acoustic Wave), and Peptides.
Chronic joint pain, hEDS-related instability, autoimmune-related damage, severe fatigue, and leaky gut.
Minimal. Varies from zero (Stemwave) to a few days of reduced activity (injections).
Regenerative medicine is the evidence-based process of stimulating your body to repair tissues that have been damaged by injury, age, or chronic disease. It’s a powerful approach for patients—especially those with hEDS, Long COVID, or chronic joint instability—whose bodies struggle to initiate a complete repair cycle on their own.
Instead of relying solely on medications or invasive surgery, we define and utilize targeted therapies like:
We perform all regenerative procedures in the peaceful, grounded atmosphere of our Torrance clinic.
Preparation: For PRP or Cell Therapy, a simple blood draw is taken. The sample is processed on-site in specialized, sterile equipment to concentrate the healing factors or cells.
Targeting: Using advanced imaging (like ultrasound), Dr. Abrams precisely maps the injection site—whether it's a damaged tendon, ligament, or joint space—ensuring optimal placement for maximum benefit.
Treatment:
Aftercare: You are guided through immediate post-procedure care and sent home with clear instructions designed to maximize healing potential.
Regenerative therapies are central to our work in chronic, complex conditions where tissue integrity is often compromised:
These powerful treatments can be applied wherever damage or dysfunction exists—including major joints (knee, hip, shoulder), the spine, soft tissues (ligaments/tendons), and at a systemic level to improve energy and tissue quality throughout the entire body.
Empowered Healing: Addressing the Root Cause of Damage
Instead of temporarily masking pain signals, regenerative medicine focuses on the core problem: damaged tissue and inflammation. For patients with conditions like hEDS, where connective tissue is inherently fragile, our procedures help stabilize structure and promote healing where the body has failed. This is not a band-aid; it’s an active process of rebuilding.
The Benefit of Lived Expertise and Integration
Dr. Abrams doesn't just treat the joint; she treats the whole system. We integrate your regenerative care with a full root-cause workup—checking for nutritional deficiencies, metabolic issues, and inflammation—to ensure the repaired tissues have the optimal environment to thrive. This integrated approach leads to more durable, profound results.
If you are suffering from chronic pain, joint instability, or complex chronic illness where tissue repair is needed, you are likely a candidate.
The best candidates are:
We often advise against treatment for those with active systemic infections or certain blood disorders, and candidacy is always determined through a thorough, personalized consultation.
Regenerative treatments are non-surgical, meaning recovery is focused entirely on aftercare to optimize the results. There is no major "downtime." Immediately after an injection, we ask you to temporarily reduce high-impact activity to allow the growth factors to set in. This is especially vital for our fatigue-prone patients.
Dr. Abrams may prescribe specific supplements and dietary advice (Peptide Therapy often supports this) to reduce general inflammation, which can "sabotage" the healing cells. We utilize Stemwave™ during follow-up to enhance circulation and tissue remodeling, accelerating the healing process initiated by the injections. Recovery is a partnership, and we coach you through every step.
The outcomes of regenerative medicine are deeply rewarding: they are results you feel in your everyday life, not just on an X-ray. Patients often report the cessation of chronic, persistent joint pain that has lasted for years, or a transformative boost in baseline energy and stamina following cell therapy. While initial healing may take 4-6 weeks, the benefits of true tissue regeneration are designed to be long-lasting. Because we address the inflammation and metabolic health of the entire body, the results are more durable, allowing you to not just feel better, but to actually get back to life.
When dealing with a complex body and chronic illness, you deserve expertise rooted in genuine understanding. Dr. Abrams is a renowned MD and NIH researcher who brings clinical rigor to every treatment, ensuring your therapy is evidence-based and precise. We combine the power of advanced cell therapies with unique technologies like the high-relief Stemwave™ device, offering a comprehensive suite of tools unmatched in many traditional practices.
Our team and Dr. Abrams personally navigate the challenges of chronic conditions. We built this clinic to offer the kind of compassionate, regenerative care we wish we had access to. You don't have to prove your pain—we believe you.
While they share the goal of regeneration, we primarily use highly specialized totipotent cell products. These cells are particularly valuable in complex systemic conditions because they help regulate the immune system, modulate inflammation, and repair cellular damage, offering a broad benefit beyond simple joint repair.
For joint and tendon issues, results are often seen after 1-3 injection sessions, sometimes combined with a course of Stemwave™. For systemic issues like chronic fatigue, the totipotent cell protocol is often a targeted course of therapy. Because the treatments rely on your body's natural healing cycle, results are progressive, and Dr. Abrams designs the treatment plan to be as efficient as possible.
PRP or cell injections are performed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Stemwave™ therapy is non-invasive; while you feel a strong pulse, it is generally very well tolerated, and patients often report significant immediate pain relief from the treatment itself.
Peptides are a powerful, non-invasive form of regenerative support. They act as "signaling molecules" that tell your body to activate healing processes—for instance, signaling the gut lining to repair itself (treating leaky gut) or boosting the natural growth hormone response, making them a crucial part of our comprehensive, root-cause regenerative strategy.
