Why choose regenerative medicine?
Powerful Healing
Repair muscle, ligaments and tendons, seal damaged discs, and
even regrow cartilage in cases of bone-on-bone arthritis.
Lasting Results
Don’t settle for masking your symptoms, regenerative medicine
repairs the body to address the root cause of pain.
No Surgery
Regenerative medicine procedures are safe, effective, minimally invasive interventions performed right in our office with minimal down-time.
What can it treat?
Neck, Back, and Spine
The spine is a functional unit, not a series of independent parts. Strengthen the architecture of the spine with target treatments to eliminate pain and restore function
Knees and Joints
For most patients, replace meniscectomy, ACL/MCL/PCL repair, and even total knee arthroplasty in cases of bone-on-bone arthritis
Nerve Pain
Often overlooked and misdiagnosed. Reduce inflammation and free entrapped nerves to eliminate debilitating pain without steroid injections.
Tendons
Restore tendon strength and elasticity to return optimal joint tracking and mobility in shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, and wrists
Muscle
Replace shoulder surgery to repair the rotator cuff and other muscle tears
Discs
Heal degenerative and damaged spinal discs
How Does it Work
Regenerative Medicine uses a concentrated stimulus of our body’s naturally occurring messenger cells to stimulate repair. Injected into precisely the right location, this causes a power healing cascade capable of structurally repairing damaged tissue within the body. 86% of our patients scheduled for orthopedic surgery are able to avoid it with a single regenerative medicine procedure.
Grounded in science
Our protocols are grounded in the most advanced research and clinical guidelines. With more than 20 years of clinical outcomes, Compass Pain and Wellness is among the most evidence-based, cutting-edge facilities in the world for regenerative medicine.

The Compass philosophy
At Compass, treating pain is personal. We all known people who have been cast aside by the medical system, denied the care they need, or not offered the best treatments. Learn more about our story and discover the difference we can make in your life.
Why patients travel from around the world to Compass
Not all cells are created equal
- Many clinics use “stem cells” derived from birth tissue with no third-party testing to determine quality or rule out transmittable disease.
- These cells are not FDA compliant and can lead to life-threatening complications, such as graft-versus-host disease.
At Compass, we use autologous cells from your own body
- Autologous cells are the gold standard in medicine. The published medical literature is based on autologous cells, not birth tissue.
- Autologous cells produce the strongest healing response with the lowest possible risk. Your body knows how to put your cells to work.
Great treatment starts with the right diagnosis
- Diagnostic medicine is a skill, requiring board-certification, fellowship training, and years of experience with advanced imaging.
- This is why patients travel from across the world to Compass, to finally find out the source of their issue.
The Compass approach
- We take the time to listen to your story. Every consult is one-on-one with a world-leading physician.
- Using the most advanced dynamic ultrasound exams we pinpoint the true source of your issue, and chart a plan of action together.
The difference is precision
- Regenerative medicine requires precise delivery to your specific pain generator.
- Most clinics inject without imaging guidance, or don’t know the best techniques, blindly placing cells in the joint space.
Experience counts
- We use combination ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance to place cells into precisely the right location based on your diagnosis.
- This stimulates the intended healing cascade, and keeps cells working for months, not minutes. This precision takes decades to master.

PRECISE FIT
is it right for me?
Regenerative Medicine requires the right diagnosis, the right biologic agent, and a skillful physician to deliver it to the precise location.
- Real regenerative medicine requires proper diagnosis, high-quality cells, and a skillful physician to deliver them to the precise location.
- Improvements typically take place gradually as the body heals itself over several weeks.
- Most patients require only one treatment, though some may repeat it to achieve optimal results over time.
- Some people respond less to the same therapy than others.
Pros
- Heal the body rather than masking symptoms
- Preserve function, mobility, and strength
- Minimally invasive outpatient procedure

frequently asked questions
We compiled a list of answers to address the most common questions regarding regenerative medicine.
How does Regenerative Medicine work?
Regenerative medicine is designed to trigger the body’s natural healing process to repair and remodel damaged tissue, joint, tendon, ligament, disc and even bone. By injecting healing messenger cells and concentrated platelets, we send signals to the body to begin its natural healing process at a cellular level.
How long does it take to recover from a procedure?
Regenerative treatments are non-surgical alternatives to traditional orthopedic care, which means the downtime is significantly shorter than surgery. Patients often return to normal activities within days or a few weeks. Improvements from cell therapy or PRP injections are typically noticed within a week, but a full healing cycle may take up to two months as the body continues to heals. Our team will provide you with a personalized recovery plan to help maximize results.
What kind of guarantee can you provide that my procedure will be effective?
While regenerative medicine shows promising results in several areas, no medical procedure can be guaranteed. Outcomes depend on your age, health, and the severity of your condition. At Compass, we focus on transparent, evidence-based care — we only recommend regenerative treatments when there is legitimate research to support them. Nothing is guaranteed.
Can I still get surgery if my procedure is not effective?
Yes. Regenerative medicine does not interfere with the ability to pursue other treatment options, including surgery, later. Many patients choose regenerative medicine first because it offers a safe, conservative approach that may help them avoid surgery or reduce reliance on long-term medications.
Can I repeat my procedure?
Yes. In some cases, repeating a PRP or cell-based treatment may be recommended, especially if you had partial improvement or your condition progresses over time. Our providers will review your case individually to determine whether a repeat regenerative procedure is the best next step.
My injury is old, can Regenerative Medicine still help me?
When the body is injured, it starts a natural healing cycle that typically lasts 12 weeks. After this cycle, the body considers the job complete, even though you may still be experiencing pain or loss of function. Orthobiologics re-starts this healing cycle, giving you subsequent attempts to continue repairing the body. While outcomes may improve with earlier intervention, Regenerative Medicine is often effective for old injuries or degeneration that’s existed for decades.
What is the average cost of a procedure?
The cost of regenerative medicine varies depending on the biologic agent received and the scope of orthopedic issue being treated. A PRP joint injection will cost roughly $1,000, while a complex cell-based spine procedure may cost up to $8,000. The typical range for procedures is $3-5,000. In all cases, we provide clear pricing upfront and can discuss options to make care accessible.
What are the most important questions to ask a clinic before getting Regenerative Medicine?
- What type of biologics are you using and are they FDA-compliant?
- If the cells are not autologous (meaning from another donor) what third-party testing do you do to ensure their quality and known origin?
- Do you use a cell counter to ensure the viability of my injection?
- What kit will be used to process my biologic injection and how do you assess its quality?
- Who is performing the procedure, and what are their credentials and experience in interventional orthopedics?
- What is your complication rate for orthobiologic procedures?
- Do you use ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for accurate injections?
- How do you measure and track patient outcomes?
