Regenerative Orthopedics
Restore mobility and reduce pain through advanced, minimally invasive treatments.
At Extension Health, our Regenerative Orthopedic Program is led by a team of experienced, forward-thinking physicians dedicated to restoring function, reducing pain, and optimizing long-term musculoskeletal health through advanced, minimally invasive solutions.
A Legacy of Innovation in Regenerative Medicine
Extension Health has long been a leader in regenerative medicine. Six years ago, our team published one of the first IRB-approved studies on the safety of using exosomes in the epidural space to treat chronic pain—a milestone in the evolution of spine and joint therapeutics.
We remain committed to pushing the field forward through clinical research and the development of next-generation regenerative technologies, including:
- + Intraosseous (IO) Injections for advanced joint degeneration
- + Autologous BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) and Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Therapy, with culture expansion under FDA Right to Try guidelines
- + Hair Follicle Stem Cell Banking for future regenerative use
- + Access to MUSE Stem Cells and Exosomes (available through our Florida clinic), a novel pluripotent cell line with tissue-repair and immunomodulatory potential.
These therapies represent the future of non-surgical orthopedic care—built on scientific rigor and personalized precision.
Regenerative Procedures
Our protocols are rooted in evidence-based regenerative techniques and customized to each patient’s needs and goals:
Comprehensive Lumbar/Cervical Spine
- + Targeted injections into the Functional Spinal Unit - Facet Joints, Ligaments, Nerve Roots, Epidural Space
- + Ultrasound and X-ray guided targeted injections
Comprehensive Joint (Knees, Hips, Shoulder)
- + Dynamic live evaluation of tendons and ligaments under ultrasound, targeted orthobiologics injections
Intraosseous Techniques
- + Injections under the bone (chondral surface) using a microdrill have been shown to enhance regenerative results in degenerative conditions.
Perineural & Hydrodissection Techniques
- + Soft tissue hydrodissection, fascial plane hydrodissections, nerve releases
Prolotherapy & Ozone Injections
- + Image-guided targeted prolotherapy and ozone injections across ligament, tendon, and joint structures for structural repair.
Whether addressing chronic pain, joint degeneration, Extension Health delivers next-generation care rooted in regenerative science and personalized diagnostics.
