 REGENERATIVE
INJECTION THERAPY
A definition of RIT is as follows: harnessing
the use of the regenerative mechanisms and energies
of the body to repair the injured, degenerative,
and weakened overstretched structures of the ligaments,
tendons, muscle, cartilage, and bone, by the use
of small needles to introduce bioactive, stimulating,
nutrients, growth factors and acupuncture in a
safe and effective method.
This may include the following subtypes:
ENHANCED PROLOTHERAPY
Mesotherapie
The concept that nutrients placed into prolotherapy
solution could improve the results of the injection
was discussed in many meetings Dr. Fortier-Bensen
either spoke at or attended. While teaching at
Capitol University of Integrative Medicine, he
learned about Dr. Pistor who used a different
tactic to improve structural dysfunctions. He
went to visit a number of French Mesotherapists
in their offices to learn their techniques and
how to add these nutrients to his repertoire,
and improve his success. These techniques have
allowed Dr. Fortier-Bensen to further evaluate
nutritional insuffiencies in the people who ask
for his help to improve their function. European
athletes use mesotherapie for their sports injuries,
and exposure to their injuries improved the way
Dr. Fortier-Bensen thinks about injuries.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
This treatment will help heal tendon
and ligament injuries including tennis, golf elbow,
shin splints, Carpal tunnel syndrome, ACL tears,
shin splints, iliotibial band syndrome, rotator
cuff tears, plantar fasciitis and low back pain.
This treatment is provided concurrently with nutritional
medicine for optimal results.
PRP has been found to repair
via four possible mechanisms:
1) Physical debridement of nonvitalized tissue.
2) Release of growth factors into the injured
tissue
3) Modulation of inflammatory cascade system
4) Recruitment of stem cells from the bone marrow
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
This is a treatment where bone marrow
stem cells and mesenchymal cells are used to repair
damaged bone injuries.
