Stem cell therapy

Are you a good candidate?

We carefully evaluate each patient’s situation to determine whether regenerative medicine is the right fit, using imaging, detailed assessments, and a patient-centered approach.

Typically a good fit

Regenerative therapies may be an option if you are experiencing

  • Muscle or joint injuries
  • Arthritis or degenerative conditions
  • Chronic back or neck pain
  • Sports-related injuries
  • Limited mobility due to wear and tear
  • A recommendation for surgery you would like to avoid or delay

Certain advanced injuries, severe joint damage, active infections, or specific medical conditions may make regenerative treatment less appropriate.

FAQ

Candidacy questions

Ask us your question
Am I a candidate for regenerative orthopedic treatment?

Candidates are typically individuals seeking non-surgical options for joint pain, sports injuries, tendon or ligament damage, or degenerative orthopedic conditions. Your physician will determine whether regenerative treatment is appropriate based on your diagnosis, imaging findings, and overall health.

Who may not be a candidate?

Certain advanced injuries, severe joint damage, active infections, or specific medical conditions may make regenerative treatment less appropriate. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach.

Can regenerative treatments help if I've already been told I need surgery?

Some patients who have been advised to undergo surgery may still benefit from a regenerative orthopedic evaluation. Depending on the condition and its severity, advanced non-surgical treatments may be an option to help improve function or potentially delay surgery. However, surgery remains the best treatment for some conditions, and recommendations are made on an individual basis.

What happens during my first consultation?

Your complimentary consultation includes a detailed review of your medical history, previous imaging, physical examination, and discussion of your symptoms and goals. Ultrasound and X-ray are available in our office at the time of your consultation, and both are complimentary. If appropriate, additional diagnostic imaging may be recommended before developing a personalized treatment plan.

Are regenerative treatments proven to work for everyone?

No treatment can guarantee the same outcome for every patient. Success depends on factors such as the severity of the injury, overall health, age, activity level, and the body's natural healing ability. During your consultation, we'll discuss realistic expectations based on your individual condition.

Where is your pain?

Pick the area that bothers you most. We treat more knees than anything else.

How long have you had it?

Long-standing problems are still worth evaluating — often more so.

What have you already tried?

Select everything that applies.

Have you had imaging of this area?

If you have an MRI or X-ray, bring it — it shortens the first visit considerably.

Has anyone recommended surgery?

Being a surgical candidate does not rule out a regenerative option, and it does not guarantee one either.

Where should we send your answer?

Our team reviews your answers and calls you to arrange a consultation. Fields marked * are required.

Your answers above are added to this message automatically.
