Optimized Health Miami

Optimized Health Miami is a regenerative medicine practice in Miami Beach. The practice describes its aim as helping patients reach optimal health so they can stay active. Care is built around an initial consultation, which is offered free of charge, and a customized treatment plan.

Before any regenerative treatment, the clinic team reviews an injury using MRI, X-ray and in-house diagnostic ultrasound to determine whether a patient is a suitable candidate. Sports-related injuries are treated in the shoulder, elbow, arm, hip, knee, ankle and leg. Listed conditions include injuries to tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones and cartilage, along with arthritis, recovery after surgery and anti-aging care.

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy, which the practice says is not FDA approved, uses cells that are described as coming from donated umbilical cord tissue. The cells are delivered by targeted injection into the injured area. Patients may feel discomfort and swelling where the needle went in for several days afterward. Before and during treatment, patients are asked to avoid NSAIDs, full-dose aspirin and steroid medications such as prednisone, and Tylenol is recommended for pain relief. Patients with a history of cancer are advised against this therapy unless they have been in remission for over five years.

Platelet rich plasma injections are offered using Tropocells PRP therapy. Cortisone injections address pain linked to inflammation in large or small joints and inflammation from a herniated spinal disc. Peptide injections and vitamin infusion therapy round out the menu. Regenerative treatment is typically not covered by health insurance, according to the practice.

Care starts with diagnostic imaging and a consultation to decide whether regenerative treatment suits the injury, followed by a plan tailored to the patient.
