The biology of healing is more controllable than most patients — and most physicians — realize. Tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and bone all operate within a biological environment that can be measured, influenced, and optimized. When that environment is compromised — by age, chronic overload, poor perfusion, or systemic inflammation — tissue that should repair itself doesn't. Regenerative medicine is the clinical discipline of changing that equation.
I offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), peptide, and exosome-based therapies. These aren't interchangeable, and they're not appropriate for every situation. PRP concentrates your own growth factors and signaling proteins for targeted delivery to injured tissue. BMAC draws from your bone marrow to provide a richer cellular concentrate, reserved for cases where a more robust biological response is warranted. Exosomes represent the frontier — extracellular vesicles that carry molecular instructions between cells, with a rapidly evolving evidence base that I follow closely and discuss honestly.
What I bring to regenerative medicine that most providers can't is surgical context. I've seen injured tissue from the inside. I know what a rotator cuff looks like when it hasn't healed, what a tendon looks like when it has, and what the difference between them usually comes down to. That perspective shapes how I use these tools — and when I recommend them at all. For some patients, biologics are a legitimate alternative to surgery. For others, they're most valuable delivered at the time of a procedure, augmenting the healing environment when it matters most. And for some, the honest answer is that neither is indicated yet — or that something else should come first.
I'll tell you which category you're in. That's the conversation this practice is built around.
Your Own Biology
PRP and BMAC are derived entirely from your own blood and bone marrow — autologous therapies that work with your body's existing repair machinery, not around it.
Surgical Augmentation
Biologics don't have to replace surgery — they can make it work better. PRP, BMAC, and exosomes can be incorporated directly into operative procedures to optimize the healing environment from day one.
Frontier Medicine, Honestly Delivered
Exosomes and emerging biologic therapies are offered in the context of a candid clinical conversation. I follow the literature closely and will tell you what it does — and doesn't — support for your situation.
Non-Operative Options
For the right patient and the right diagnosis, biologics offer a meaningful alternative to surgery — or a way to extend the window before surgery becomes necessary. That determination starts with an honest assessment.
How It Works
Regenerative medicine at Regen ATX starts with an evaluation that takes your imaging, your history, your activity demands, and your timeline seriously. From there, we build a protocol that's specific — not a standing menu of injections, but a considered plan with a rationale you can understand and a timeline you can plan around.
For patients pursuing surgical care through Upper Extremity ATX, biologic augmentation at the time of surgery is available and worth discussing early. The decision about what to use, when, and how much is made in the context of your procedure — not as an add-on, but as part of the surgical plan from the start.
Follow-up is built into every protocol. Biologics are not a one-time event; they're the beginning of a monitored recovery arc. We track your response, adjust as needed, and integrate biologic care with the performance health and optimization work that determines how well your body uses what we've given it.
