NeoGenix 5 Step Treatment Process
Become Pain-Free by Real Medical Doctors Using Real Stem Cells
Step 1: Joint Preparation
At NeoGenix, we provide 2 different options to prep your joint:
Step 2: Stem Cell and/or PRP Injection
Step 3: Joint Bracing
Bracing the treated joint is often a necessary part of the process.
It allows the affected area to heal quickly.
We will fit you with the proper brace to optimize your treatment.
Step 4: Joint Rehabilitation
Studies have already proven stem cell and growth factor therapy combined with physical therapy is better than either one alone, and we firmly believe that.
This gives the stem cells or PRP all the help they can get to maximize the chances of joint healing.
NeoGenix uses the best growth factor booster treatment: PRP.
Step 5: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
This gives the stem cells or PRP all the help they can get to maximize the chances of joint healing.
NeoGenix uses the best growth factor booster treatment: PRP.

Stem Cell Treatment Options
Bone Marrow + Adipose (Fat) Tissue
Dr. Altizer was one of the first physicians in the United States to combine bone marrow and fat tissue stem cells to treat severe arthritis and since then many of the leading stem cell physicians in the country have followed his lead. He calls this injection his “Super Shot,” a double dose of stem cells to aggressively treat severe arthritis.
The “Super Shot” is recommended for the worst cases of arthritis, patients that have been told they are “bone on bone” or are very close to bone on bone. If you have been told you need a knee, hip or shoulder replacement, the “Super Shot” may be your only option to save your joint and avoid joint replacement surgery.
Bone Marrow
- Bone marrow stem cells are the most versatile regenerative medicine treatment offered at NeoGenix for moderate to severe conditions.
- Patients compare having the bone marrow taken out to getting a tooth filled:
Adipose (Fat) Tissue + PRP
- Fat tissue stores more stem cells than any other area in the body.
- Fat tissue also contains natural hyaluronic acid
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is the most popular form of regenerative medicine utilized in the United States.
- PRP can literally be injected into any joint, tendon, muscle or ligament.
NeoGenix is the ONLY clinic in the Carolinas providing all 3 of the gold standards in stem cell and regenerative therapies combined with innovative joint preparation before your injection, and a booster shot of growth factors after your injection.

What is stem cell therapy and how does it work?
Stem cell therapy uses regenerative cells from your own body to help repair and replace damaged tissue in joints, tendons, and ligaments. At NeoGenix in Charlotte, NC, our goal is to reduce pain and improve mobility without surgery.
What conditions can stem cell therapy treat?
We commonly treat arthritis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, rotator cuff injuries, meniscus tears, tendonitis, and chronic joint pain. Our Charlotte patients often choose stem cell therapy as an alternative to joint replacement.
How is stem cell therapy performed at NeoGenix?
Our board-certified physicians collect stem cells from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue, concentrate them, and then inject them into the injured area under precise image guidance. The entire process is done in-office.
Is stem cell therapy safe?
Yes. Since the stem cells are taken from your own body, the risk of rejection is extremely low. Most patients report little downtime and minimal side effects following the procedure.
How long does it take to see results from stem cell therapy?
Many patients in Charlotte notice improvement in pain and function within weeks, with continued healing over several months as the regenerative process takes effect.
How is stem cell therapy different from surgery?
Stem cell therapy is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and performed in-office. Unlike joint replacement or other major surgeries, it typically requires no hospital stay and allows for faster recovery.
What is the recovery time after stem cell therapy?
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. However, strenuous exercise or heavy lifting may be restricted for several weeks as your body heals.
Does insurance cover stem cell therapy in Charlotte?
Currently, most insurance plans do not cover regenerative medicine treatments like stem cell therapy. At NeoGenix, we provide clear pricing and financing options so patients know what to expect.
Am I a candidate for stem cell therapy?
If you have arthritis, chronic joint pain, or an injury that hasn’t improved with traditional treatments, you may be a candidate. A consultation at our Charlotte clinic will help determine the best options for you.
