Arthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic pain and mobility loss in America, and its impact is especially visible here in Atlanta. Between long commutes, active lifestyles, and Georgia’s aging population, arthritis can silently erode one’s ability to move comfortably, enjoy daily activities, or even rest at night. Millions of adults—particularly active seniors and working professionals—find themselves limited by joint stiffness, swelling, and persistent discomfort that seem to worsen over time.
Traditional arthritis treatments often focus on temporary symptom relief. Medications may dull the pain but can’t restore damaged tissue, while surgery—though sometimes necessary—carries longer recovery times and potential risks. Many patients feel caught between two extremes: relying on pills or considering invasive surgery.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe there’s a better path forward. Regenerative medicine for arthritis represents a new era in care—one that is less invasive, more natural, and designed to promote true healing rather than masking pain. These advanced therapies use your body’s own healing potential to repair and restore tissue, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and quality of life. For those searching for non-surgical arthritis relief in Atlanta, regenerative medicine offers genuine hope for lasting change.
At its core, regenerative medicine helps the body repair itself. Through advanced biologic therapies such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem Cell–Based Therapy, and Prolotherapy, these treatments work by:
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, regenerative therapies are used to treat a wide range of arthritis-related conditions, including:
Patients who undergo regenerative arthritis treatments often experience results that go far beyond pain relief:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy uses the healing power of your own blood to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation. During the procedure, a small sample of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets—cells rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration. The PRP is then carefully injected into the affected joint, where it works to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and support long-term joint health.
This therapy is an excellent option for mild to moderate arthritis, tendon or ligament injuries, and post-surgical recovery. Because it uses your own platelets, PRP is natural, minimally invasive, and requires little downtime. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two while healing continues gradually over several weeks.
For patients with more advanced arthritis or joint degeneration, Stem Cell–Based Therapy provides a powerful regenerative option. This treatment uses ethically sourced biologic materials containing mesenchymal stem cells—specialized cells capable of developing into cartilage, tendon, or ligament tissue.
When introduced into damaged areas, these biologic cells release healing signals that help reduce inflammation, stimulate new cell growth, and restore joint integrity. The result is improved mobility, less stiffness, and reduced pain—all without major surgery or extended recovery times.
Stem cell–based therapy is ideal for those who want to delay or avoid joint replacement and prefer a natural, tissue-restoring alternative to traditional interventions.
Prolotherapy is another regenerative treatment offered at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, designed to stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms. It involves injecting a mild, natural irritant solution—often containing dextrose—into weakened or damaged connective tissues surrounding an arthritic joint.
This controlled irritation triggers the body’s healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and strengthening supportive ligaments and tendons. Prolotherapy is particularly effective for stabilizing joints, improving alignment, and reducing chronic pain caused by instability or wear over time.
For patients seeking a safe, drug-free approach to arthritis pain, prolotherapy offers an excellent option to enhance strength, flexibility, and overall joint function.
At Medici, regenerative medicine doesn’t exist in isolation. We combine innovative biologic treatments with supportive therapies that help patients heal faster and move better. Our integrated approach ensures the best possible outcomes for long-term relief and restoration.
Your consultation begins with a detailed medical evaluation. One of our specialists will review your health history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination. If needed, advanced imaging (like X-rays or MRI) may be used to pinpoint the exact source of your pain and evaluate the condition of your joints.
This step helps us identify the root cause—not just the symptoms—so we can recommend the most effective treatment for your unique needs.
No two cases of arthritis are the same. That’s why we create a personalized treatment plan designed around your diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you’re struggling with mild knee arthritis or advanced hip degeneration, your plan will outline the best regenerative therapy—such as PRP, stem cell–based treatment, or prolotherapy—along with complementary care like physical therapy or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Our goal is to help you achieve lasting pain relief and improved mobility without invasive surgery.
Most regenerative medicine procedures are minimally invasive and performed right in our office or surgical center. During treatment, your doctor will precisely inject the regenerative material—such as PRP or biologic cells—into the affected joint using image-guided techniques for accuracy and safety.
Afterward, patients typically experience little to no downtime. Some mild soreness is normal as the body begins its natural healing process. We’ll provide a detailed post-care plan, including recommendations for movement, physical therapy, and follow-up visits to track your progress.
One of the most important aspects of care at Medici is setting honest expectations. Regenerative medicine is a process—it takes time for the body to repair itself.
Most patients begin noticing improvements in pain and mobility within a few weeks, with continued progress over several months as new tissue develops and inflammation decreases.
Consistency with follow-up care and supportive therapies greatly enhances long-term results. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your recovery is steady, safe, and successful.
Arthritis doesn’t have to define your future. With advances in regenerative medicine, patients across Atlanta are finding real, lasting relief beyond temporary fixes like medications or cortisone injections.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we specialize in results-driven, minimally invasive care that helps your body heal itself—naturally. Our approach focuses on restoring mobility, comfort, and independence, so you can return to the activities you love without unnecessary surgery or long recovery times.
If you’ve been told that joint pain is something you simply have to “live with,” it’s time to discover a new path forward. The sooner you explore your options, the more effectively we can help slow or even reverse the effects of arthritis damage.
