REGENOKINE®

Thank you for your interest in the Regenokine program. The Regenokine program is neither a drug nor a product. It is a medical program for people with pain and disability from osteoarthritis, joint and low back pain. Like all medical programs each treatment is customized for the individual. For more information on the Regenokine program read our book, The End of Pain: The Regenokine Program, A Game Changing Approach for Osteoarthritis and Low Back Pain.

What is the Regenokine Program?

It is a new therapy for treating low back pain and the common, chronic condition known as Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, or as it is more often called arthritis is characterized by the breakdown of the cartilage in joints resulting in pain and limitation of movement. Under our care, people concurrently engage in a customized program of injections, dietary change, supplementation, and exercise optimization.

Who created the Regenokine Program?

Regenokine originated primarily from the work of Dr. Peter Wehling, an orthopedic surgeon, and his research associate in Germany, Julio Reinecke, PhD.  With the help of Pitt Professors Paul Robbins and Christopher Evans, Drs Wehling and Reinecke discovered the root cause and solution for osteoarthritis, Regenokine therapy.

The Regenokine Program was completed by Dr. Chris Renna, who devised the complementary nutritional, supplement, and lifestyle components of the program.

What you need to know about Regenokine:

Many people researching joint and tendon treatments learn about a blood product injection called PRP and stem cell therapies.  We would like to state that the injection procedures and programs described have nothing to do with PRP, stem cells or autologous plasma. They are completely different treatments than Regenokine.

The information contained in these pages is based on our experience with our patients and is not intended as a substitute for your physician or other health care provider. Any attempt to diagnose and treat an illness should be done under the direction of a health care professional.

In deciding whether or not you are a candidate for our Regenokine Program, we carefully analyze your medical history, examine clinical findings, X-ray and MRI results.

What are the main components of the Regenokine Program?

There are three main components:

• Injection Procedure
• Nutrition
• Lifestyle and Exercise

Regenokine: Diet and Nutrition

Eating the right foods in the right amounts and frequency can help prevent the onset and control the symptoms of arthritis. Eating well can significantly diminish the pain of existing arthritis and enhance the effects of the injections as well as improve your overall health.

Certain nutritional supplements are also helpful in reducing pain and stiffness by effecting inflammation.

The Regenokine Program will provide you with everything you need to make the dietary changes necessary to improve your joint pain, enhance the effects of Regenokine injections and achieve optimal body weight.

Regenokine: Lifestyle and Exercise

Ideal Body Weight: Being overweight and unfit contribute to arthritis and its myriad symptoms including feeling unmotivated and depressed. Eating well, reducing inflammation, losing weight, doing more exercise and gaining muscle are all anti-arthritis strategies that we encourage and assist you in doing.

Muscle weighs more than fat. Some arthritis patients look thin and lean but are over-fat. They too can benefit from a customized diet, sleep and exercise program.

Supplements: Individualized, high quality supplements are recommended to maximize the Regenokine treatment program as well as your overall health.

Healthy Sleep: Sleep is the longest period of lowest inflammation. You heal while sleeping. Poor, non-restorative sleep and its effects are usually obvious yet some people are sleeping long hours and awakening feeling tired. Arthritis can disturb sleep in several ways causing chronic fatigue. We gather information about your sleep and other activities and help you regain restful, rejuvenating sleep.

Proper and sufficient exercise: Exercise helps preserve the strength, mobility and integrity of the ligaments and muscles that not only support the joint, but also allow the joint to move in its normal range of motion. When people have Osteoarthritis, they often try to protect the joint by moving differently, which creates imbalances, leading to further restriction of movement.

Healthy perspective: You’re only as healthy as you feel. Many times the pain and disability of arthritis, even minor manifestations like bumpy finger joints or sore big toe can drag you down and cause emotional and psychological distress. There are many ways to lift your spirits and help you feel confident and capable but none more effective than having your pain relieved, mobility restored, improving your diet, losing some weight and sleeping well.
