What is A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin)?
Alpha-2-macroglobulin is one of the largest plasma proteins. It is a naturally occurring protein found in blood plasma that restrains proteinases such as Matrix Metalloproteinase. Quick recap on one specific type of Matrix Metalloproteinase that may relate to you: They break down the collagen that make up cartilage and potentially aids arthritis in the continued degeneration of cartilage in the main joints. This essentially causes your chronic pain say, in your knee, which if left unattended, could result in very unwanted circumstances.
So how can it help me?
A2M inhibits specific protein classes, essentially protecting your cartilage from inflammation through tissue growth promotion and also supporting cartilage restoration of the joint that you feel most pain from.
At our Regenerative Medicine Center, we can provide you with A2M injections in order to provide long-term relief of osteoarthritis. By opting for this treatment to be performed you can rest assured that the treatment will not only stop the breakdown of cartilage and prevent further loss, but also reduce the pain and halt the progression of osteoarthritis. We can help you return to a normal lifestyle where you don’t need to restrain yourself not only because of pain but also because of the actual physical damages that will occur.
We encourage you to visit one of our specialists and learn about your regenerative medicine options. A2M therapy is an excellent alternative treatment option for pain relief, avoid surgery and prescription drug dependency. Call us at 646-612-0896
