Condition
Joint Pain
Move more freely again — a physician-led, non-surgical regenerative approach designed to reduce joint pain and improve mobility, using your body's own cells.
When joint pain starts deciding what you can do
Aching knees, stiff shoulders, hips that flare on the stairs, a neck or back that won’t loosen — joint pain quietly narrows your life. The hikes you skip, the workouts you drop, the everyday movements you start avoiding, the nights you don’t sleep well. For many people, the options they’re offered feel like extremes: mask it with medication or commit to major surgery and a long recovery.
There’s a middle path worth understanding first.
A non-surgical, regenerative approach to joint pain
Joint pain can affect knees, shoulders, hips, the spine and smaller joints, with causes ranging from arthritis to injury and overuse. For many of these, a regenerative approach may help — working with the joint you already have rather than replacing it.
Our physician-led stem cell joint regeneration and PRP joint treatment use your body’s own regenerative components, delivered in-office, with the goal of calming pain and improving mobility. They’re designed for patients who want to reduce pain and stay active without the risks, cost and recovery time of surgery. Because not every joint or condition is a good fit, an honest evaluation comes first — and the physician will tell you if a regenerative approach isn’t likely to help yours.

What to expect
Every plan begins with a physician evaluation to confirm you’re a candidate and to tailor the approach to your goals. If a regenerative option is appropriate, it’s performed in-office, and most patients return to normal activities quickly. The physician will give you clear, realistic expectations for your specific joint, and results vary from person to person.

Frequently asked questions
Can regenerative medicine help my joint pain?
It may help for many kinds of joint pain, especially pain related to osteoarthritis, wear or soft-tissue injury. Regenerative approaches are designed to reduce pain and support the joint's natural repair. Whether it's right for your specific joint is something the physician determines during your evaluation.
Which joints can be treated?
Most commonly knees, shoulders, hips, and the neck and back. Smaller joints can also be considered. The physician confirms during your evaluation whether your specific joint and condition are a good fit.
Is it surgery?
No. The options we offer are non-surgical and performed in-office, using your body's own regenerative components. They're intended for people who want to reduce joint pain and improve mobility without the risks, cost and recovery time of surgery.
Am I a candidate?
That's what your consultation is for. Dr. Cimikoski evaluates the affected joint, reviews your imaging and history, and tells you honestly whether a regenerative approach is a good fit — and if it isn't, he'll say so.
Will it cure my joint pain?
We don't make cure or guarantee claims. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how well the joint moves. Many patients seek regenerative options to stay active and delay or avoid surgery, but results vary from person to person.
