Cell-Based Therapy
Your own regenerative cells, preserved at peak potency and guided into cartilage, joints and tendons that can no longer repair themselves.
How cell-based therapy works
You carry a reserve of regenerative cells whose job is coordinating repair. Cell-based therapy harvests that reserve — from your bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue — concentrates it, and delivers it under imaging to tissue whose own repair capacity has run out.
At Florida Regen, cell-based therapy means autologous, point-of-care biologics prepared from your own tissue. Our technique preserves the integrity of each cell and delivers it at peak potency — reducing inflammation, improving circulation and stimulating tissue regeneration without surgery.
For deeper cartilage and joint damage, cells can mount a bigger repair response than platelets alone — in the right candidate. Candidacy here is a clinical determination, not a sales funnel: when cell therapy isn't your best option, that's exactly what you'll hear.
Our cell-based protocols
Adipose-derived cells + HD-ePRP. High-yield, anti-inflammatory, rapid repair: your adipose-derived cells with pro-inflammatory elements removed, combined with High-Density Enhanced PRP to boost natural exosomes and mesenchymal signaling — without cell expansion.
Bone marrow-derived cells + HD-ePRP. Potent, versatile deep-tissue regeneration: marrow aspirate from the pelvic bone containing hematopoietic and mesenchymal cells suited to musculoskeletal injury and degenerative conditions.
Adult pluripotent-like cells + PR-Lysate. A next-generation protocol: cells activated through an advanced hypothermic process and combined with platelet-rich lysate for osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injury, and degenerative disc disease.
Photobiomodulation preconditioning. Cells receive polychromatic LED photo-activation before administration, enhancing cell signaling and growth-factor release.
Your cell therapy visit, step by step
Evaluation & candidacy
Exam, history and diagnostic ultrasound establish whether cells are your answer — it is a determination, never a default.
Cell harvest
Marrow or adipose tissue is sampled under local anesthetic, then prepared on-site within the same visit.
Guided delivery
The preparation goes exactly where the imaging says it should — under ultrasound or fluoroscopy.
Structured recovery
Preconditioning, aftercare and staged rehab carry the repair through the months it needs.
Conditions cell therapy can help
- Moderate knee, hip & shoulder osteoarthritis
- Cartilage injury in the right candidate
- Chronic, recalcitrant tendon injuries
- Cases that haven't responded to PRP alone
- Degenerative disc disease (select cases)
- Active adults wanting to preserve their own joints
Who it’s for
Candidacy is real — it roughly means: enough joint left to save. The evaluation answers it definitively, before anything is scheduled.
Common questions about cell therapy
What kind of cells do you use?
Autologous, point-of-care biologics prepared from your own marrow or adipose tissue during the visit — never anonymous off-the-shelf products with murky sourcing and murkier data.
Is this a guaranteed way to avoid surgery?
Nobody can promise that, and you should walk out of any clinic that does. What the data supports: meaningful pain and function gains for many moderate joint and tendon cases. Advanced bone-on-bone disease may still belong with a surgeon.
How long does recovery take?
Desk work within a day or two; activity rebuilt in stages. The biology itself compounds over three to six months — cell repair is a season, not a weekend.
Is it covered by insurance?
Almost never. You'll have exact pricing before committing, plus documentation for any reimbursement attempt.
Ask whether your joint is a cell-therapy case.
Diagnostic imaging plus a candid candidacy review — then a protocol, or a referral, whichever your joint actually needs.
