Below are answers to common questions about our regenerative treatments, including PRP, exosomes, and stem cell therapy. If you have additional questions, our team is happy to help during your consultation or contact us today.
Yes! We encourage anyone dealing with chronic pain or a nagging injury to explore regenerative medicine.
Our treatments are an excellent non-surgical solution for active people struggling with joint pain, tendonitis, or mild-to-moderate joint damage. You don’t have to wait until surgery is your only option. The sooner you address the issue, the better your healing potential is. We always start with a full medical exam and a diagnostic ultrasound to confirm your eligibility and design the perfect plan to get you back to the activities you love.
The FDA doesn’t ‘approve’ a therapy like PRP in the same way they approve a new pill. Think of it this way: We are simply taking your own natural healing cells and concentrating them. The FDA’s role is to regulate the equipment, labs, and processing we use, and we operate in full compliance with all of their strict guidelines. Rest assured, all of our procedures are safe and adhere to federal standards.
Regenerative therapies are minimally invasive treatments that aim to support the body’s natural healing processes for joints, tendons, and soft tissues. Traditional surgery often involves physically repairing or removing damaged tissue and may require longer recovery times, more downtime, and higher risks of complications.
Currently, most regenerative medicine treatments are considered elective by insurance carriers and are therefore not covered. We offer transparent pricing and financial counseling to ensure you understand all costs upfront.
Yes, we do. We partner with Cherry Financing and can walk you through the options to find a plan that fits your budget with up to 24 months with no interest. See if you qualify here!
All procedures at RegenRx are performed by our highly trained and credentialed Advanced Practice Provider. She possesses specialized training in musculoskeletal diagnosis and injection techniques. Crucially, all regenerative injections (PRP, Stem Cells) are performed using real-time ultrasound guidance to ensure the product is placed with millimeter precision, maximizing both safety and effectiveness.

Because treatments like PRP use your body’s own materials, the risk of severe side effects is very low. The most common reaction is temporary soreness, bruising, or mild swelling at the injection site for 1-3 days.
Yes, absolutely. All of our procedures are performed using ultrasound guidance to ensure the healing solution is placed precisely into the damaged tissue or joint space for maximum effectiveness and safety.
No, we typically avoid using numbing agents. This is a key part of our clinical protocol. The active ingredients in anesthetics can damage or deactivate the very healing cells we are injecting. Our priority is to protect the integrity of the regenerative cells to ensure you get the best possible long-term results and relief.
The treatment involves sound waves and is generally not painful. Patients usually feel a strong tapping sensation. We use comfortable, advanced technology (like the Omniwave) and focus on making the session quick and tolerable.
Any previous imaging reports (X-rays, MRIs), a list of current medications, and be prepared to discuss the full history of your pain.
The procedure itself is usually quick. For PRP, the entire process (blood draw, spinning, and injection) takes about 45 minutes. When using Wharton’s Jelly you can expect around 20-30 minutes.
The downtime is minimal. We usually recommend taking it easy for 24–48 hours (no strenuous exercise), but most patients can return to normal, non-strenuous activities almost immediately.
Healing takes time. Some patients feel initial relief (like pain reduction or increased comfort) within 2–4 weeks, but maximum benefit is usually felt around 3–6 months.
Varies based on injury severity- this is determined after your initial diagnostic exam. Because we use top of the line equipment and biologics, you can estimate somewhere between 2-4 injections total, and a range of 6-12 for non-invasive therapies like shockwave.
Cortisone shots reduce inflammation for temporary relief but do not repair the tissue and can degrade it over time. Regenerative treatments (PRP, Stem Cells) are designed to give your body the building blocks it needs to actually help the damaged tissue, offering a path to long-term relief. Check out our blog post comparing PRP, cortisone, and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections for joint pain.
Viscosupplementation or gel injections, such as hyaluronic acid, are intended to help lubricate and cushion the joint, providing temporary relief from discomfort and supporting mobility. Regenerative therapies support natural tissue repair, while gel injections help manage symptoms. Check out our blog post comparing PRP, cortisone, and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections for joint pain.
