A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin) Protein Concentrate is a regenerative therapy that uses proteins from your own blood to stop the progression of arthritis and promote joint healing. It is one of several orthobiologic injection options we offer.
Blood plasma is produced by the human body and contains a high level of proteins and growth factors that have healing properties that help the body repair itself. Similar to PRP, A2M proteins can be concentrated from your own blood and injected into damaged areas of the body to promote regeneration. These proteins are very anti-inflammatory and offer a natural alternative to steroid/cortisone shots — part of our nonsurgical pain solutions approach. A2M Protein Concentrate can stop the progression of painful conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis, rather than masking the symptoms of pain and aging.
A2M is a naturally occurring protein in your blood that acts as a powerful protease inhibitor. It captures and neutralizes the destructive enzymes that break down cartilage in arthritic joints. By inhibiting these enzymes, A2M can slow or stop the progression of osteoarthritis at the molecular level. This makes A2M unique among regenerative therapies because it addresses the underlying cause of cartilage destruction.
Our clinic offers in-house diagnostic MSK ultrasound for same-day diagnosis and for guided injections when treating with A2M. Ultrasound guidance ensures that A2M is delivered precisely to the target area for the best possible treatment outcome. Dr. Kendall Stewart performs MSK imaging as part of our sports medicine program.
A2M Protein Concentrate treatments are individualized and specific to each patient’s health goals. Our physicians, led by Dr. Romero, offer a comprehensive program to maximize treatments for your overall health. Along with nutrition and lifestyle changes, the treatments and sports rehab services are ideal for those looking for an all-inclusive experience. A2M can also be combined with shockwave therapy for enhanced results.
