Common knee injuries like sprains, fractures, tears in the meniscus cartilage, and osteoarthritis can all lead to a diagnosis of knee surgery. Patients who receive a non-surgical Regenexx treatment for knee pain can return to normal activities just 1-2 days post-treatment, which is a fraction of knee replacement surgery recovery time.
Unfortunately, as the population ages, the prevalence of osteoarthritis increases. In 2020, 595 million people reported having osteoarthritis, which is a 132% increase since the year 1990 (1). The knee was the most common site for osteoarthritis among those surveyed. A population so afflicted by knee troubles should be informed on how best to treat them. This article poses non-surgical orthobiologic PRP or Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) procedures over typical options given to patients–surgery or corticosteroid shots. If you’ve made the decision in favor of the less invasive non-surgical route, be educated and be warned. Unfortunately, not all non-surgical clinics are created equal. Read to learn about Regenexx’s procedure methods and the standards we uphold using knee treatment as an example.
For an easy way to research whether non-surgical regenerative orthopedics for joint pain are right for you, listen to Dr. Lieber and Dr. Adelsheimer on KDKA radio, 4.2.24 at 7PM.
Watch a Non-Surgical Solution for Neck Pain and Related Headaches. Regenexx physician Dr. Lieber uses fluoroscopic real-time X-ray imaging for precise image guidance, as he injects platelet lysate into the patient’s cervical spine in order to help treat her nerve pain and cervicogenic headaches. Dr. Lieber’s procedure has been edited to 4-minutes.
The dreaded phrase for older Americans: knee replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis in joints like the knee is quite common for older people, and even present but less common in some younger people as well. Knee replacement surgery is a long and painful process with a long recovery time needed. Supposedly it’s all worth it in the end, since a knee replacement can last 15 to 20 years. However, there’s evidence to suggest that BMC knee treatments can be just as effective and last as long as knee replacement, but with a non-invasive procedure and a shorter recovery time. Read more.
Shoulder dislocations and Bankart Lesions are common injuries, particularly for young athletes who participate in baseball, volleyball, weight lifting, or gymnastics. Often, when shoulder pain does not go away, it is because of complications caused by a Bankart Lesion, a condition where the cartilage that lines the outside of the shoulder’s socket (called the labrum) tears. This injury can be treated with surgery, but a Bone Marrow Concentrate procedure is a non-surgical regenerative procedure option that may bring faster recovery for affected young athletes, as well as active older adults.
Lower back pain is no rarity among the US adult population. With nearly 50% of adults aged 45 years and up experiencing some form of recent back pain, it seems to be the norm. Symptoms of lower back pain (or even sciatica pain) can be relatively the same across multiple conditions, so diagnosis may sometimes be difficult. When physical therapy or chiropractic do not work, many doctors recommend surgery. Watch Dr. Sally’s videotaped procedure for sacroiliac joint pain (lower back) with a 5-step/3-part non-surgical process.

If you experience frequent headaches that are mostly one-sided (without switching), seem to hit at the base of your head or your neck, and worsen with neck movement, it may not be your average stress-induced headache or migraine. These are symptoms of a cervicogenic headache, which results from an injury in the cervical spine. Learn more about how to spot a cervicogenic headache and a non-surgical treatment option that can address the underlying cervical spine issue for these headaches.
Bunions, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, microfractures of the ankle bone – there’s a variety of painful problems that can occur in the feet. Considering this variety, it’s no surprise that so many American adults complain of pain in their feet. Unfortunately, many traditional treatments like surgery are a no-go – most Americans can’t afford to be off their feet for the long post-operative recovery time. Regenerative care, like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments can be effective for many foot pains and may be a better option than surgery or steroids.
