Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) treatment is an advanced regenerative therapy designed to manage and treat joint and musculoskeletal pain. A2M is a naturally occurring protein found in the blood that acts as a powerful inhibitor of proteases, which are enzymes that break down proteins and can contribute to the degradation of cartilage and other joint tissues. By harnessing the body’s own A2M, this treatment aims to protect and repair joint tissues, offering a non-surgical, medication-free solution for those suffering from chronic pain and inflammation.
At Marin Regenerative Health, located in Novato, CA, our expert team led by Dr. Sarah Scharf, DC, and Dr. Roger Shortz, MD, specializes in utilizing A2M treatment to enhance joint health and overall mobility. Our integrated approach focuses on stimulating the body’s natural healing processes to provide long-lasting relief and improved quality of life.
A2M treatment offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures. By avoiding surgery, patients can experience fewer risks and a quicker recovery time.
The treatment utilizes the body’s own proteins to promote healing, reducing the need for synthetic medications and their potential side effects.
A2M effectively inhibits the enzymes that cause inflammation and cartilage breakdown, leading to significant pain relief for those with joint issues.
By protecting and repairing joint tissues, A2M treatment can enhance mobility and overall joint function, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.
Unlike temporary pain relief methods, A2M treatment addresses the root cause of joint pain, offering more sustainable and long-lasting results.
A2M treatment is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic joint pain and inflammation who are seeking a natural, non-surgical solution. This includes:
A2M treatment is versatile and effective for a variety of conditions related to joint and musculoskeletal health, including:
Before seeking A2M treatment, there are several at-home strategies you can try to manage joint pain and improve mobility:
Engage in low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, or cycling to keep your joints active and reduce stiffness.
Excess weight puts additional strain on your joints. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce joint pain.
Applying heat or cold packs to the affected area can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Proper hydration is essential for maintaining joint health. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Non-prescription medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can provide temporary relief from joint pain.
If these methods do not provide sufficient relief, it may be time to consider professional treatment options like A2M.
At Marin Regenerative Health, we follow a thorough process to determine if A2M treatment is right for you:
During your first visit, our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history and current symptoms. This helps us understand the root cause of your joint pain and determine the best course of action.
A detailed physical examination will be performed to assess the affected joints and identify any specific areas of concern.
If necessary, we may use diagnostic imaging techniques such as X-rays or MRI scans to get a clearer picture of your joint health.
Based on the findings from your consultation, examination, and imaging, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include A2M treatment as well as other regenerative therapies like PRP injections, growth factors, or shockwave therapy.
