Living Pain Free Through Regenerative Medicine

Edward Magaziner, MD, has dedicated his career to helping people with pain and musculoskeletal injuries. His commitment to expanding his knowledge of state-of-the-art and innovative treatments led him to regenerative medicine, a biomedical technology that uses the body’s tissue to help heal disease and injury. This type of therapy provides an alternative method of treatment for those with acute and chronic pain. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy, key treatments in regenerative medicine, have grown increasingly common in the sports medicine world in recent years.

Research has shown that adult stem cells are able to grow and become a cell for a specific tissue or organ, according to the National Institutes of Health. PRP is thought to accelerate and/or maximize the signals an injury site sends to the body in order to continue the healing process. PRP also helps reduce inflammation for very long periods of time. As the pain associated with inflammation lessens, the need for pain medication, especially opioids, is reduced.

These advanced treatment options combined with Dr. Magaziner’s genuinely caring manner have brought relief from pain for patients from all walks of life.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
