1. Give us a brief history of your company.
At Regenerative Medicine Institute of Louisiana, our approach to orthopedics is different. Here, we attempt to target the underlying cause of the pain and remedy it. Specifically, we aim to heal it. By utilizing an integrated approach of regenerative medicine, we have been able to help hundreds of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain improve their daily function.
2. What would you tell the rest of Acadiana makes you special?
Regenerative medicine is a specialty with the goal of repairing and rebuilding damaged tissue naturally through targeted interventions. These interventions are multi-faceted: surgical injection procedures, removal of toxic mediators, such as anti-inflammatory agents, biomechanical approaches, such as weight loss, nutritional supplements, and behavioral changes.
At Regenerative Medicine Institute of Louisiana, we employ a Total Systems approach to each patient in order to evaluate and correct any “total-body” deficiencies or aberrations, which may negatively influence healing. Regenerative Orthopedic techniques are proving to have a place in healing both acute injuries, and with those of a more chronic nature. The body’s Immune System can indeed heal chronic pain – if given the right environment, time, and stimulus.
3. What are you most proud of?
Our patient success stories!! After founding TotalCare Health and Wellness Medical Center in 2007, Dr. Bond became the first physician to perform ultrasound-guided Regenerative Injection Procedures in the state of Louisiana. He has since performed thousands of these injections, making him far and away the most experienced practitioner of IROM, or Interventional Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine, in Louisiana and the southern Gulf States region.
In 2018, Dr. Bond opened the doors to the Regenerative Medicine Institute of Louisiana. Here, orthopedic treatments and procedures using adult stem cell therapy, prolotherapy, and platelet-rich plasma are delivered using precise ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, and dedicated regenerative medicine protocols.
4. Where do you see your business in 10 years? What are your plans for the future?
We currently provide quality orthopedic care in Lafayette to patients from all over the state of Louisiana, as well as Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama. Our plans for the future would be to implement our same successes in more locations across the South so the same care could be provided closer to where they live.
