Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine Treatments

Regenerative medicine is an exciting new field in medicine that focuses on naturally repairing and restoring damaged tissues in the body caused by overuse, injury, or aging over time. Regenerative medicine is a game changer for healing and relieving pain in joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. At NeoGenix, you will be examined, diagnosed, and treated by a board-certified medical doctor, Dr. James Altizer, the most experienced regenerative medicine doctor in the Carolinas, having performed thousands of regenerative medicine injections since January of 2016. Dr. Altizer and his team offer treatments that give substantial, long-lasting relief from joint pain and allow patients to stay clear of surgery with minimal downtime.

What can we treat using Regenerative Medicine?

One of the most popular uses for regenerative medicine injections is to speed up healing and offer pain relief for people suffering from injured, damaged, or degenerative joints. Treatment can allow individuals to stay clear of joint replacement surgery, a crucial procedure that requires a lengthy recovery.
A few of the conditions that may benefit from this treatment include:
  • Shoulder pain from injuries to the rotator cuff and biceps tendon tears joint degeneration or frozen shoulder.
  • Elbow pain due to golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, pickleball elbow, or chronic strains/sprains.
  • Hip pain due to osteoarthritis or bursitis
  • Low back pain from facet arthritis, degenerative disc disease, SI joints, spinal stenosis, and sciatica
  • Knee pain from mild to severe osteoarthritis, meniscus tear, or ligament tear.
  • Pain in the foot due to Achilles tendon tear and arthritis.
  • Hand and wrist pain due to arthritis
  • Neck pain due to an accident or injury

Frequently Asked Questions About Regenerative Medicine

What is regenerative medicine?

 Regenerative medicine uses the body’s own cells and natural healing processes to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function. At NeoGenix in Charlotte, NC, our treatments include stem cell therapy and PRP therapy.

What is the cost of regenerative medicine?

The cost of regenerative medicine can vary quite a bit ranging from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. There are 3 major factors that determine the cost of regenerative medicine:

  1. What area of the body we are treating? Each part of the body has a different treatment protocol, which can affect the price of your treatment.
  2. How severe your condition is we are treating. Depending on the severity of the arthritis or soft tissue injury we are treating, the doctor will recommend different types of regenerative medicine, each of which has a specific cost associated with them.
  3. How many areas of the body will we be treating? We do not double the cost if you are treating 2 areas instead of 1 area. We just have a small upcharge to add on additional areas.

How Quickly Will Regenerative Medicine Work?

Regenerative medicine is the exact opposite of a cortisone shot. While cortisone shots are only masking the pain by temporarily shutting off the pain receptors, regenerative medicine is actually healing and repairing the damaged tissue in your injured area. Therefore, it takes time for regenerative medicine to work. On average, most patients start to see results within 3-6 weeks and studies show the healing and repairing of the damaged tissues can continue for up to 6-8 months.

How is regenerative medicine different from traditional treatments?

Unlike surgery or medication that only manage symptoms, regenerative medicine aims to repair the root cause of joint pain and tissue damage. This means patients often experience longer-lasting results with less downtime.

What conditions can regenerative medicine help treat?

Regenerative medicine is commonly used for arthritis, degenerative disc disease, tendon and ligament injuries, meniscus tears, and chronic joint pain. Our Charlotte patients often seek it as an alternative to surgery.

What regenerative treatments are offered at NeoGenix?

We specialize in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy, both performed in-office by board-certified physicians with years of regenerative medicine experience.

Is regenerative medicine safe?

Yes. Our procedures use your own stem cells and platelets, which means there is little to no risk of rejection or serious side effects. Treatments are minimally invasive and require no hospital stay.

Who is a candidate for regenerative medicine in Charlotte?

Patients struggling with arthritis, sports injuries, or joint pain that has not improved with traditional treatments may be candidates. A consultation at NeoGenix will determine the best options for your condition.

How long does it take to see results from regenerative medicine?

Results vary, but many patients notice improvement within weeks, with continued healing for several months as the tissue regenerates and strengthens.

Does insurance cover regenerative medicine treatments?

Currently, most insurance providers do not cover regenerative therapies. NeoGenix offers transparent pricing and financing options to make treatment more accessible.

No. We treat patients from across North Carolina and South Carolina, including Raleigh, Greensboro, Columbia SC, and Greenville SC, in addition to the greater Charlotte area.
