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.

Included in the course study will be concentrated growth factors to enhance your ACP injections using allograft concentrated growth factors and stem cells from amniotic tissue or bovine (A-Cell).
Common medical uses and indications for the use of ACP and Allograft CGF (Concentrated Growth Factors) include:
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.
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.
This activity has been planned and implemented by AKH Inc., Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare and Empire Medical Training. AKH Inc., Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
