Patient-Centered, Non-Surgical Joint Healing
When joint pain or soft-tissue injury affects daily movement, you deserve a treatment approach built around precision, evidence-based care, and your long-term mobility goals. Our providers use advanced diagnostics, ultrasound guidance, and individualized treatment strategies to help you recover safely and effectively.
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine uses your body’s own healing processes to repair damaged tissues, improve joint mechanics, and reduce chronic inflammation. It can be an excellent option for those seeking alternatives to long-term medications, steroid cycles, or early surgery.
Common goals include:
- Enhancing natural tissue repair
- Reducing chronic pain and swelling
- Improving joint mobility and function
- Slowing or preventing progressive degeneration
Regenerative Treatment Options
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. It is particularly effective for soft-tissue injuries and early-to-moderate degenerative conditions.
Common PRP treatment areas:
- Knee arthritis and cartilage wear
- Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Achilles and ankle tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Wrist, hand, and small-joint injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
StemWave Focused Shockwave Therapy
StemWave delivers acoustic energy deep into injured tissues to stimulate cellular repair without needles or downtime. It provides a powerful non-invasive option for chronic tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue problems.
Effective for:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Chronic tendinitis and repetitive strain injuries
- Osteoarthritis-related pain
- Shoulder calcific tendonitis
- Muscle spasms and chronic back pain
- Sprains, strains, and post-surgical scar tissue
Ultrasound-Guided Steroid Injections
Steroid injections provide targeted inflammation control for acute flares. With ultrasound guidance, medication is delivered precisely where it’s needed for safer, more effective relief.
Commonly treated:
- Arthritis flares
- Bursitis
- Trigger finger
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Acute joint inflammation
How PRP, StemWave & Steroid Injections Work Together
Each therapy plays a distinct role:
- PRP: Supports long-term biological repair
- StemWave: Stimulates non-invasive cellular regeneration
- Steroid injections: Rapid symptom relief
A treatment plan may include one or a combination, depending on the severity and type of injury.

Regenerative treatments support the body’s natural healing processes, helping repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function over time.
For many patients, yes. These non-surgical options can delay or even avoid surgery by improving mobility, easing pain, and strengthening joint stability.
Most people begin noticing improvements within a few weeks, with continued progress over several months as the joint tissues heal.
Anyone with arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament pain, or chronic joint discomfort who wants to avoid surgery or reduce medication use may benefit.
Most procedures are minimally invasive with little to no downtime, and side effects are typically mild and short-lived.
