We’re excited to offer cutting-edge regenerative medicine options including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cells.
Regenerative medicine is a new way of treating injuries and diseases that uses a patient’s own specially grown tissues and cells for the treatment of damaged joints, muscles, tendons or ligaments.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is your body’s own safe alternative treatment for orthopedic joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries. PRP has been used for many years in the cosmetic and dental fields. It is now used in a patient’s area of injury to speed healing and decrease pain and inflammation.
Platelets are tiny cells containing thousands of growth factors that control and regulate the natural healing process by recruiting stem cells to the injured site. The patient’s blood is spun in a centrifuge to obtain the highest concentration of growth and anti-inflammatory factors. This high concentration of nutrients is then injected into the exact site of injury or pain.
By injecting PRP and Stem Cell into an area of concern, your body will recognize this site as a priority to heal it quickly, creating natural healing over the next one to three months.

What Is Regenerative Injection Therapy?
Regenerative injections treat chronic or long-lasting pain occurring due to injuries that haven’t healed properly.
The damage can reside in any part of the musculoskeletal system, including within:
- Cartilage
- Joints
- Ligaments
- Muscles
- Tendons
- Nerves
Injections are composed of a natural solution, sometimes including the patient’s own plasma, and administered into the affected tissue. Regenerative injection therapy (RIT) has been shown to repair injured soft tissues with healing properties that encourage new, healthy tissue to form.
When soft tissues become compromised, the body will innately begin to self-heal, often bringing inflammation as a painful side effect. Many people turn to over-the-counter pain medication, opioids, or steroids that may reduce discomfort associated with inflammation but can also hinder the healing process.
Regenerative injections serve to heal the tissues by injecting a natural healing stimulant into the affected soft tissues without the need for harmful treatments or drugs.
Regenerative injections provide many benefits, including:
Improved comfort
Improved movement patterns and mobility
Restored functional ability
Improved muscle strength
The goal is to keep you away from surgery, pain-masking medications, and other aggressive forms of treatment that can offer their own set of risks.
