Regenerative medicine uses your body’s own biological resources, such as stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to support healing of the spine and joints. These non-surgical treatments aim to reduce pain, restore mobility, and in many cases help patients avoid unnecessary surgery.
We offer several regenerative options. Each has its own page explaining how it works and who it suits:
Regenerative spine and joint treatments are minimally invasive and carefully planned:
Consultation and MRI review
We review your history, examine you, and evaluate your imaging to confirm the source of pain.
Personalized plan
We discuss whether stem cell therapy, PRP, or a combination is best for your condition.
Image-guided injection
Treatment is delivered with fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance for precise placement.
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients return to light activity within days, with gradual improvement over the following weeks and months.
Both use your own biology to support healing. They differ in what is delivered and what they are typically used for.
Stem cell / BMAC therapy
Cell-based
Concentrated cells from bone marrow or fat
PRP therapy
Platelet-based
Concentrated platelets from your blood
Your specialist will explain whether one option, or a combination, is best for your condition.
Regenerative medicine can help with spinal disc degeneration, herniated discs, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, sports injuries, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
We use only autologous cells, meaning your own cells: bone marrow stem cells and stromal cells from adipose (fat) tissue. Each patient is evaluated individually before a specific treatment is recommended.
Some patients notice improvement within weeks, while full results may take several months as healing progresses.
Some therapies are FDA regulated, such as autologous PRP, while others, including certain stem cell applications, are still being studied. Procedures using a patient's own tissue are considered part of a physician's practice of medicine. The FDA provides guidelines for the treatment and manipulation of a patient's own tissues, and Total Spine follows these guidelines by offering same-day treatment using the patient's unaltered cells.
Many patients experience meaningful improvement, but results depend on the individual condition, overall health, and following the post-treatment plan.
Costs vary with the area treated, the type of treatment, and the number of sessions. Most regenerative procedures are not fully covered by insurance; our team will explain costs and any available benefits during your consultation.
Patients with severe spinal instability that requires fusion, an active infection, or serious medical conditions that make injections unsafe may not be candidates.
Not everyone is a good candidate. We offer a complimentary consultation and imaging review, and if a successful outcome is not likely, you will be told that during the consultation.
