If you’re dealing with joint pain, injuries, or chronic discomfort, you’re not alone—and surgery isn’t your only option. Today, advanced regenerative treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma, Alpha-2-Macroglobulin, and mesenchymal stem cell therapy are helping people feel better, move better, and get back to doing what they love—naturally.
These treatments work with your body, not against it. Instead of masking pain with medication or relying on invasive procedures, they use your body’s own healing abilities to repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation.
PRP: Jump-Starting Your Body’s Healing Process
Your blood contains platelets, which are packed with natural growth factors. These growth factors are like “healing messengers” that tell your body to repair injured tissue.
With PRP, we take a small amount of your blood, concentrate those platelets, and inject them into the injured area. This boosts your body’s natural healing response exactly where you need it.
PRP is commonly used for joint pain, tendon and ligament injuries, and muscle strains.
Because it comes from your own body, PRP is a safe, natural option with little downtime.
A2M: Protecting Your Joints from Further Damage
A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin) is a powerful protein already found in your blood. Its job? To block harmful enzymes that break down cartilage in your joints.
Think of A2M as a “shield” for your joints. When cartilage starts to wear down—like in arthritis—these damaging enzymes speed up the process. A2M helps stop that damage in its tracks.
The treatment is simple and minimally invasive. A small sample of your blood is taken, processed to concentrate the A2M, and then injected directly into the painful area.
Many patients choose A2M because it targets the root cause of joint pain, not just the symptoms. It’s especially helpful for people in the earlier stages of joint wear and tear who want to slow things down and stay active longer.
Janet, our tennis superstar, is back on the court competing against players of all ages after her A2M procedure, and she wishes she would have started her regenerative journey with us earlier. She tried treatment somewhere else first, but after just one month with us, she’s already noticed a bigger impact on her knee health.
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy: Regenerating and Rebuilding
Stem cell therapy is one of the most advanced options in regenerative medicine. Stem cells are special because they can develop into different types of cells—like cartilage, muscle, or bone.
Once there, they go to work by supporting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and helping rebuild damaged structures.
You can think of stem cells as your body’s “repair crew.” They not only help fix damage but also create an environment where healing can continue over time.
Stem cell therapy is often a great option for people with more advanced conditions or those who haven’t found relief with other treatments.
Captain John had a hip replacement on one side but opted for stem cell treatment on the opposite side. He says he wishes he would have done stem cell therapy on both hips. The fish don’t, though—he’s out on the water every chance he gets now that his hip isn’t keeping him at home.
Why Choose Regenerative Therapy?
Patients are turning to these treatments because they offer:
- A natural, drug-free approach

Why Dr. Todd Chooses Regenerative Therapy Over Traditional Medicine
Use your body, don’t abuse it
Pharmaceuticals can help, but the side effects often aren’t worth it. Regenerative therapy supports the natural healing processes already occurring within your body.
Procedures that take minutes, not hours
Our procedures average about 45 minutes, so you don’t have to block off your entire day to get the healing you need.
Back in action faster
Our therapies can sometimes help you get back to doing what you love more quickly than surgery recovery — often with even better results. But don’t just take our word for it; hear what our patients have to say!
