Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) and Biologics Training for Pain Management Conditions

Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) Treatment Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) on Shoulder

Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) aka PRP has numerous corrective pain management indications for patients that are non-responsive to conventional treatments. ACP injections have been utilized in many medical conditions including tendinopathies, joint pain, arthritis, and sports medicine applications. In this 1-Day course, you will receive extensive training in the harvesting and administration of ACP including the use of biologics (concentrated growth factors) such as amniotic tissue as well as stem cells derived from adipose cells for use in patients. Enhance patient care and realize the benefit of using and offering these regenerative therapies within your practice and create new revenue streams and greater patient satisfaction.

This evidence-based course will prepare attendees to diagnose, harvest, and administer these regenerative therapies in an office setting. These interventional procedures can be performed safely within an office setting (clean procedure | aseptic procedure) and can be used in combination with conventional treatments without complications and to the benefit of patients. Autologous Conditioned Plasma (PRP) can be used as a stand-alone treatment effectively or combined with Allograft CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors) to complement traditional pain management therapies. Typically, ACP injections are cash basis procedures and the average cost to patients is approximately $600 - $800 per injection cycle (before biologics) or treatment in pain management applications.

ACP TRAINING LATEST TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PAIN

Give your patient the latest treatment options for pain, enhance patient care in the management of various pain conditions presented, and differentiate yourself from others with these expanded pain management procedures. The additional revenue streams associated with these procedures are attractive to physicians and are the perfect addition to any medical practice treating these various chronic soft tissue and joint-related arthritis conditions.

As part of the course study, you will be introduced to the various stem cell therapies also being performed in conjunction with ACP or conventional medicine. The growth in using mesenchymal cell therapies is expanding beyond orthopedic offices and the demand from patients is becoming popular. These experimental therapies are being used successfully globally and within the United States but do have additional limitations as these are not FDA-Approved and their uses are limited to orthopedic conditions for larger joint pain. Adipose Stem Cells (ASC) and Bone Marrow Stem Cells (BMAC) are the available options for physicians but there are no professional medical guidelines for who can and cannot receive stem cell therapy. Stem Cell Therapies are considered to be experimental by the FDA so the decision about who gets stem cell therapy is up to patients and doctors and there are legal requirements as to the advertisement of such within your practice.

The Adipose Stem Cell Therapies (ASC) and Bone Marrow Stem Cells (BMAC) procedures include all protocols for harvesting and re-injection, patient selection criteria, contraindications, and expected results for the most common types of arthritis to the knee and shoulder areas. Candidates for such treatment are usually mild to moderate degeneration of capsule and the most robust response to these treatments are candidates that are younger to middle age and in good medical health. There are other experimental uses of mesenchymal cell therapies such as Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s through the course will concentrate only on the pain management application therapies.

AUTOLOGOUS CONDITIONED PLASMA STEM CELL THERAPIES COURSE OBJECTIVE

  • Practice procedures such as ACP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and Amnio Products (Stem Cells) competently, safely, and effectively for their patient. Each participant will understand and learn how to avoid risks and associated complications.
  • Apply generally accepted protocols for the administration of Platelet Rich Plasma for various chronic and sub-acute medical conditions.
  • Describe the mechanism of action of Platelet Rich Plasma and the Amniotic products available and differences between the product characteristics, patient preferences, managing expectations, and aftercare for follow-up after the interventional pain injection procedures.
  • Identify who is a candidate for Platelet Rich Plasma (ACP) Therapies and the use of the additive Amniotic derived products available, patient benefits, and long-term expectations and additional treatments dependent upon patient presentation. Increase patient awareness and offer enhanced patient care concerning this non-invasive, non-surgical procedure.
  • Review and evaluate the latest evidence-based studies in Pain Management procedures concerning ACP and stem cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and sub-acute pain indications including soft tissue pain (tendinopathies) and joint pain as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with conventional treatments.

As with all of the courses offered by Empire Medical Training, we wish for you to be successful with the integration of these concepts and methodologies so you become financially successful with these new pain management procedures. For those physicians wishing to do so, additional preceptorship training and consultation are made available as an option in addition to the course as well as supplemental schedules contained within the physician portal.
