A patient sent us this handwritten note and we had to share it.
51 years old. Fastest woman on her squad (except for one 28-year-old, but who's counting).
This woman did more than just maintain her fitness after receiving regenerative treatment. She set a personal record.
Age is not the ceiling people believe it is. Our goal is always to keep you doing what you love, better than before.

Pickleball was supposed to be the fun one. The sport that didn't wreck your body.
So why does your knee have a different opinion every time you step on the court?
Here's what most players figure their options are: play through it and pay for it later, or get surgery and miss months of everything — the games, the group, the Tuesday mornings that are honestly the best part of your week.
But there's a third option most people never hear about.
Regenexx is a non-surgical regenerative treatment that uses your own cells — concentrated platelets or bone marrow-derived stem cells — placed directly at the source of the problem using precise image guidance.
No guesswork. No hardware. No months on the sideline watching your group chat light up without you.
Our physicians at Regenexx Pittsburgh have worked with plenty of pickleball players dealing with the usual suspects — knee pain, shoulder issues, back problems. This sport is more demanding than it looks, and your body knows it.
Many patients see improvement in weeks, not months. Many get back on the court faster than they expected. Some avoid surgery entirely.
Not everyone is a candidate, and we'll tell you that straight up. But here's what we know:
Before you give up the court, the crew, and the thing that gets you out of the house and moving — it's worth finding out what's possible.
Pickleball isn't just exercise. It's your people. And that's worth protecting.
If you're in Western Pennsylvania and joint pain is threatening your game, tap the link in our bio and fill out a quick candidate form. We'll review your case honestly — and if there's a path back to the court, we'll show you what it looks like.

You're not training for anything. You just want to get through Tuesday without your knee deciding otherwise.
That's not a small goal. That's the whole point.
And yet somewhere along the way, you got stuck in a loop — medication, ice, "take it easy," repeat.
Nobody's actually addressing why you're in pain. They're just helping you tolerate it.
That's the cycle we help people break.
Regenexx is a non-surgical regenerative treatment that uses your own cells — concentrated platelets or bone marrow-derived stem cells — placed precisely where the damage is using advanced imaging guidance.
Not a blind injection and a "let's see what happens."
Not hardware bolted into your body.
Not months on a couch recovering from an operation you weren't sure you needed.
It's real medical care, performed by physicians, right here in Pittsburgh.
We've worked with many patients who came in saying the same thing: "I'm not looking for a miracle. I just want to function." Some saw improvement within weeks. Others took longer. Some avoided surgery they thought was inevitable.
And some weren't candidates at all — and we told them that upfront.
Here's what we won't do: promise you results we can't predict or push you toward something that doesn't make sense for your situation.
Here's what we will do: look at your case honestly and tell you whether this approach could help address what's actually causing your pain — not just cover it up again.
If you're tired of building your entire day around what hurts, tap the link in our bio and fill out a quick candidate form. We'll take it from there.

Your surgeon gave you a plan. But did anyone show you the full picture first?
Here's what usually happens:
You get imaging. You get a diagnosis. You get a surgery date. And somewhere in that process, nobody mentions that non-surgical options exist — not because they're hiding anything, but because surgery is what they do.
It's not their job to tell you about what we do.
We're physicians who specialize in regenerative treatment — using your own platelets and bone marrow concentrate containing your own stem cells, placed precisely where they're needed under fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance.
No cutting. No implants. Just targeted, image-guided care.
This isn't experimental or fringe. Regenexx is part of the largest outcome registry in orthobiologics, with more than 30,000 procedures tracked with real-world data.
Does it work for everyone? No. Some people will still need surgery. But many of our patients have avoided it entirely, postponed it for years, or tried this approach first and never looked back.
Here's the thing most people don't consider until it's too late:
Surgery will always be an option. But once you've had it, you can't undo it.
We don't tell anyone surgery is wrong for them. We give you the information you weren't given so you can decide with the complete picture, not just half of one.
If you've been told you need surgery and haven't explored what else is possible, tap the link in our bio and fill out a quick candidate form. We'll review your case and give you an honest assessment — if regenerative treatment makes sense, we'll explain why. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
No pressure. No pitch. Just clarity before a major decision.

Everyone is talking about regenerative medicine, but NOT all regenerative medicine is created equal.
Here's why you should be asking real questions about the person holding the needle, what's in the needle, and whether they're using image guidance.
We only use your cells, processed the same day, and track all of our outcomes in the largest registry in the world.
It's not a product, it's a medical procedure. Because that's what you deserve.

Not all PRP is created equal! When we prepare your platelet-rich plasma, we use image guidance for injection and customize your PRP for your specific injury based on your injury and your needs. It's not a product, it's a process and a protocol, performed by world-class medical professionals.

Why does your pain keep coming back?
It's NOT because you're getting older. It's instability + inflammation + tissue damage that never fully heals.
The worst part?
Pain medication, cortisone, and physical therapy are calming the symptoms but not the source.
Here's how we're different.

Herniated discs? Sciatica? The answer isn't always surgery.
In many cases, we can treat inflammation and pressure around the nerves by using your body's own natural healing agents.
Before you go under the knife, make sure you ask the right questions and get the answers you deserve.

Before you commit to knee replacement surgery, get the full picture.
Many people come to us after being told they “need” a knee replacement... yet a number of those patients discover that surgery isn’t their only option. Procedures using bone marrow concentrate, which contains stem cells, may help reduce pain and improve function for the right candidates.
The key is proper evaluation. You owe it to yourself to find out whether a less-invasive approach could be appropriate for your situation.
If you’re exploring options, take the time to see whether you might be a candidate.
