20 Reasons to consider our treatments instead of surgery
1. Regenexx performed the first orthopedic stem cell procedure in the United States. We now have over a decade of experience and as of May 2017, have performed over 46,000 Regenexx procedures.
2. Regenexx has the most-researched stem cell procedure for orthopedic conditions in the United States. With our 2016 publication of the world’s largest orthopedic stem cell safety paper, the published research on Regenexx procedures now accounts for approximately 50% of the world’s orthopedic stem cell literature (cumulative number of patients published and treated with bone marrow stem cells).
3. Our patented technique allows us to concentrate bone marrow 5-6 times more than similar procedures. Our method is verified in the lab.
4. All injections and harvesting use advanced imaging and guidance for precision.
We use fluoroscopy and ultrasound for every procedure. We know where the cells are coming from and where we are placing them.
5. We publish our outcome and safety data (gathered from our stem cell registry—see number 12 below). We are transparent with our results, update this information regularly, and make it public on our website. We also have a live application that allows you to view patient-outcome data based on the parameters (body part and metric) you select.
6. All doctors are musculoskeletal experts with extensive training in orthopedic stem cell injections. All providers must complete their comprehensive Regenexx certification and prove their injection skills to administration and training physicians prior to performing any stem cell procedure.
7. We use a patented multi-injection stem cell protocol for the best possible outcomes. We have tested this protocol for 10 years and have shown its effectiveness.
8. Regenexx has a dedicated-lab research team for continuous procedure improvements. Our lab is headed by a PhD cell biologist. Our research-and-development team continues to innovate the field of orthopedic stem cells.
9. We have the ability to count cells and doses appropriately by condition. We know through extensive research how many cells it takes to help one or more joints.
We don’t guess.
10. Bone marrow is used for the stem cell source. This has the most research for orthopedic application and is the best source of stem cells for musculoskeletal conditions.
11. With over 46,000 procedures performed, we add hundreds of stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures to the Interventional Orthopedics Foundation Registry each month. Our national network uses the same protocol. We are able to use this data to customize the strength of the cells for each person’s specific condition.
12. We have the largest stem-cell-research registry in the world, currently tracking close to 10,000 patients. The data for our outcome reports (see number 5 above) are collected from this registry.
13. We currently treat retired and active professionals, college, and high school athletes and weekend enthusiasts. Visit our Regenexx Videos page and browse to find many more patient testimonials from athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

14. Regenexx is supported by James P. Bradley, MD, and Joseph C. Maroon, MD— medical staff for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Other NFL medical staff also use Regenexx for active players.
15. There are two randomized controlled trials currently under way. We continue to fund and do the most research in this field.
16. Regenexx treats the entire musculoskeletal system with autologous stem cells—from the spine to the peripheral joints, ligaments, and tendons.
17. Stem Cell 101: We use the patient’s own stem cells harvested from the iliac crest. This procedure is FDA compliant.
18. Overview of the Regenexx differences: Regenexx is the world leader in orthopedic stem cell procedures. This infographic highlights our differences compared to any other option, including top-named orthopedic practices that treat professional athletes with surgery and say they do stem cells.
19. Regenexx patient-education books: The purpose of our library is to educate people about making the best health decisions. Orthopedics 2.0 is an Amazon #1 best seller and has been downloaded over 130,000 times with over 60,000 copies in print.
