Our Approach · The Field
A modern branch of orthopedics that uses your body’s own biology — platelets, marrow-derived cells and energy-based therapy — to repair joints, tendons and discs instead of replacing or simply masking them.
For decades, orthopedic medicine offered two paths: manage pain with medication, or replace the joint with surgery. Regenerative orthopedics — also called orthobiologics or interventional regenerative medicine — opens a third path between them.
Instead of removing or replacing damaged tissue, it stimulates the body to heal it. Concentrated platelets and marrow-derived cells deliver the growth signals tissue needs to repair; energy-based therapies like shockwave reopen stalled healing pathways. Delivered with imaging precision, these tools can restore function for the right candidate — without an operating room.
Why it matters
Most joint and tendon pain isn’t severe enough for surgery, but is too real to ignore. Regenerative orthopedics exists precisely for that gap.
Each has a distinct role. The skill is in choosing and sequencing them for your specific injury.
Concentrated platelets release growth factors that kick-start tissue repair.

Learn moreHow we practice it
Orthobiologic and energy-based therapies have a growing body of evidence, particularly for tendon conditions and mild-to-moderate joint arthritis. We apply them where the evidence and the diagnosis support it — and explain the realistic outlook honestly. See our research overview.
Active adults with tendon, ligament and early-to-moderate joint conditions who want to repair tissue rather than mask pain or undergo surgery. An evaluation gives you a clear, honest answer.
It’s non-surgical and same-day, performed in-office under local anesthetic with minimal downtime — and it works with your biology rather than removing or replacing tissue.
