MFAT Injections for Natural Tissue Repair

At Active Pain Relief, we specialize in Micro-fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) Therapy, an innovative therapy which harnesses the natural regenerative capabilities of body fat tissue to provide long-term healing solutions. For an MFAT injection session, small amounts of body fat must first be collected and processed into micro-fragmented fat cells enriched in growth factors before injections to joints, tendons or ligaments that need healing. In contrast to steroid injections, which address surface symptoms only, MFAT Therapy is designed to address root causes and target regeneration with minimal downtime, as opposed to surgery, which requires a long recovery period before results can be seen. MFAT therapy blends seamlessly into everyday life and provides significant healing benefits without the painful recovery periods associated with surgery. When treatment is administered for osteoarthritis or soft tissue injuries, these injections can improve the function and mobility of joints by harnessing fat-derived regenerative cells. Since we emphasize holistic and non-surgical approaches at Active Pain Relief, MFAT injections are invaluable resources for both pain relief and tissue regeneration.

How MFAT Injections Work

MFAT Injections leverage the regenerative properties of fat-derived cells, which contain growth factors and cytokines known to reduce inflammation and speed up tissue repair. The process entails taking a small sample from each patient’s own fat tissue, enriching it to concentrate these powerful cells, and then reinjecting it back into areas of tissue damage across their bodies – providing both relief from pain and mobility benefits in doing so. At Active Pain Relief, the MFAT procedure is meticulously conducted with patient comfort and safety as the primary objective. The procedure begins with minimally invasive liposuction, where a small amount of fat is harvested from a patient and processed using advanced technology to isolate beneficial regenerative cells before being injected back into damaged areas using ultrasound imaging guidance for precise placement. MFAT generally takes 1-2 hours to complete, and patients typically return home on the same day with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Condition Treated with MFAT Injections

MFAT Injections have proven themselves an outstanding treatment option for an array of degenerative and painful conditions, providing both symptomatic relief and functional improvement:

  • Knee Osteoarthritis: Reduces pain and improves joint mobility, particularly effective in severe cases such as bone-on-bone arthritis.
  • Hip Osteoarthritis: Maximizes range of motion and alleviates discomfort.
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Aids in the healing of torn tendons and alleviates shoulder pain, including partial thickness rotator cuff tears.
  • Partially Torn Ligaments: Improves function and supports healing.
  • Chronic Symptomatic Meniscal Tears: Aids knee cartilage healing and provides relief.
  • Severe Arthritis: Improves mobility and relieves advanced arthritis symptoms.
  • Any Orthopedic Condition: Generally yields good effects across various orthopedic conditions due to its regenerative capabilities.

By treating the root of an issue rather than its symptoms alone, MFAT Injections offer an all-encompassing solution that promotes long-term health and functionality. Chronic conditions often benefit from adopting this approach as it supports their body’s natural healing processes, stimulating tissue regeneration and decreasing inflammation. As a result, patients often report experiencing increased mobility, reduced discomfort, and an enhanced quality of life after receiving transformative injections from Active Pain Relief. Individuals not only find relief in better managing their conditions but may even overcome them and return to activities they once enjoyed for a more vibrant, active lifestyle. Active Pain Relief’s MFAT Injections combine cutting-edge science with patient care for maximum relief as well as renewed hope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PRP?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Plasma is a part of your blood and contains platelets.

Platelets are your body’s way of sending healing proteins to damaged tissue. When you skin your knee, platelets are what stop the bleeding, form the scabs, and grow new skin.

PRP can be injected into a joint for pain relief.

Since the platelets are transmitted with blood, not many find their way into your joints, ligaments, and tendons because there is poor blood supply to those areas. By injecting a concentrated dose of platelets into a painful joint, your body is able to supercharge the healing process.

This begins by re-initiating the inflammatory phase of injury. Don’t worry! The word inflammation may sound like a bad idea. But here’s how it helps. Appropriate inflammation (as opposed to chronic) is how our body knows something is damaged.

The proliferative phase occurs during PRP therapy when new tissue begins to form. This critical phase typically lasts for 3 to 4 weeks. It is during this time that many patients start to experience significant pain relief as the body actively works to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.

The remodelling phase is the final stage of healing in PRP therapy, where scar tissue matures and strengthens. This phase can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to complete. During this time, the newly formed tissues gradually improve in function and strength, culminating in the long-term stabilization of the treated area.ontent

It is very important during all 3 phases to engage in appropriate exercises to help your scar tissue grow as strong as possible. At best, scar tissue is 20% weaker than the original tissue. The combination of some form of physical therapy and PRP creates the best outcome.

The answer is it really depends on what we are treating. If it is an acute injury to a rotator cuff, it is likely that one injection with a high level of platelets (over 10 billion) will be all that is required. If it is a severely degenerative chronic injury, we MAY need to do a series of 3 injections. The number of injections will vary based on the
