Image-guided regenerative orthopedic procedures in Phoenix, performed by physicians. We publish our own outcome data and we turn down the cases the evidence does not support.
Four questions about your joint, your imaging and what you have already tried. Plenty of people are not candidates and we would rather tell you here than after a deposit.
Every injection is placed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance by a physician. Blind injections into a joint miss the target often enough to matter.
Our own registry, tracked at three, six and twelve months, including the cases that did not improve. Anyone can cite a study; publishing your own numbers is harder.
Bone-on-bone arthritis, structural instability and full-thickness tears generally need surgery. Being told no here saves you a five-figure procedure that was never going to work.
Mild to moderate arthritis. Advanced bone-on-bone disease is usually a surgical case.
Partial tears and tendinopathy. Full-thickness tears are referred for repair.
Tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis and chronic tendinopathy that has not settled.
Image-guided procedures for discogenic and facet-mediated pain.
Function and pain scores at three, six and twelve months, tracked on every patient we treat. Placeholder for the practice's real registry figures.
Blind injections into a joint miss the target often enough to matter. Ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance is used on every procedure we perform.
A physician reviews your imaging and tells you honestly whether you are a candidate.
A physician reviews your MRI or X-ray and examines you. This is where most non-candidates find out, before spending anything.
Performed in-office under image guidance, usually under an hour, with same-day discharge.
A structured rehab protocol, then scored follow-ups at three, six and twelve months.
This category has a real reputation problem, largely earned by clinics selling packages of injections to patients who were never candidates.
A physician reviews your imaging first. If we do not think you will benefit, we tell you at the evaluation and you have spent nothing.
They looked at my MRI and told me I needed a replacement, not an injection. First clinic in three that didn't try to sell me something.
Back on the golf course at four months after two years of managing it with cortisone.
Everything under ultrasound, and they showed me the screen while they did it.
It depends on your imaging and the structure involved. Mild to moderate arthritis and partial tendon injuries respond best. Bone-on-bone arthritis and full-thickness tears generally do not, and we will tell you that at the evaluation.
Insurance does not typically cover these procedures and we say that plainly rather than letting you discover it later. Pricing is per joint and you get it at the evaluation, after a physician has reviewed your imaging.
It is genuinely mixed and depends heavily on the condition, the preparation and the placement. It is stronger for knee osteoarthritis and tendinopathy than for many other uses. We go through what the literature supports for your specific case and where it is weak.
Most patients who respond notice change between six and twelve weeks, and improvement often continues to six months. It is not an immediate fix and anyone promising one is overselling it.
A proportion of patients do not improve, and that is in our published registry rather than hidden. If you are one of them we will say so at the follow-up and help you get to the right surgical opinion.
A physician reviews your imaging and examines you. If you are not a candidate you will hear it then, before spending anything on a procedure.
