what is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative Medicine is a sub-specialty of Medicine that utilizes various techniques and processes to stimulate cellular repair or healing of damaged tissues.
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 many forms of chronic pain – if given the right environment, time, and stimulus.
Today, the management of chronic pain accounts for billions of healthcare dollars spent annually, and is all too often suppressed into relief temporarily by utilizing medications and interventions, which fail to address the underlying problem. This, unfortunately for the patient, leads to intermittent bouts of suppressed pain and continuations of the underlying cause of the pain.
At Regenerative Medicine Institute of Louisiana, our approach 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.
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.

Thomas K. Bond, MD, MS
Born and raised in South Louisiana, Dr. Bond graduated from LSU in 1992 with a B.S. in Zoology / Pre-Medical studies. After completing 1 year of Honors Research and Veterinary School, he entered a Ph.D. program in Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Arkansas Medical School in Little Rock. With medical school calling, Dr. Bond decided to step away from research and received a Master's of Science in Physiology & Biophysics in 1994, prior to entering medical school in 1995. Subsequently, he earned his Medical Doctorate from LSU Medical Center in New Orleans before completing a Family Medicine residency at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. His education continued with a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Sports & Musculoskeletal Medicine at Duke University Medical School in Durham, NC. In 2003, Dr. Bond was recruited to LSU Medical Center in New Orleans as the Chief of Sports Medicine.
During his three-year tenure as Chief of Sports Medicine at LSU, Dr. Bond lectured to medical students, residents, and fellows, and was the Medical Program Director for the LSU Sports Medicine Fellowship Program. After founding TotalCare Health and Wellness Medical Center in 2007, Dr. Bond became the first physician to perform ultrasound-guided Regenerative Injection Procedures, such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) & Bone Marrow stem cell procedures, for musculoskeletal / orthopedic conditions 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.
Dr. Bond has served as the President of the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine (AAOM), an international non-profit organization of physicians dedicated to the promotion of regenerative medicine education around the world. Recognized internationally as an expert in the field, Dr. Bond was the youngest President ever to lead the AAOM as the continued leader in Interventional Regenerative Orthopedics, and continues to lecture to physician colleagues, medical students and residents in international locations like Cancun, Hong Kong, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and the Philippines.
