What is Regenerative Therapy?

Regenerative therapy refers to minimally invasive, drug-free treatments that use your body’s own healing cells to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation and restore function.
Rather than simply masking pain, these treatments promote true biological healing at the source.

Although research is ongoing, studies suggest that — when performed in early osteoarthritis or cartilage injuries — regenerative therapy may delay disease progression and reduce the need for surgery.

At PainFreezeMD, Dr. Norton offers:

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — growth factors


    All regenerative procedures are performed under ultrasound or X-ray guidance for precision and safety.

How Does It Work?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP):
A small blood sample is processed to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors.
Dr. Norton injects this healing plasma into the injured area to stimulate repair, reduce inflammation and strengthen tissues.

What Conditions Can Be Treated?

Regenerative therapy may help with:

  • Tendon injuries (rotator cuff, tennis/golfer’s elbow, hip or Achilles tendinopathy)

  • Ligament sprains or partial tears (ACL/PCL)

  • Joint arthritis (shoulder, hip, knee, or small hand joints)

  • Meniscus tears, bursitis, facet joint pain

  • Spinal conditions (stenosis, radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease, SI joint dysfunction)

  • Post-surgical or post-traumatic pain where healing is incomplete

Ideal for patients wanting to avoid surgery or reduce medication dependence.

How Can This Be Helpful?

✅ Natural healing: uses your own blood — no synthetic drugs or chemicals

✅ Reduces pain and inflammation:stimulates tissue repair rather than masking pain

✅ Minimally invasive:in-office procedure, no downtime

✅ Safe:derived from your own body

✅ Long-lasting results: healing continues to improve for months

What Should I Expect?

  • Quick procedure (~30-60 minutes)

  • Gradual improvement – healing occurs naturally over weeks to months

  • Sustained relief – many patients report long-term pain reduction and better function
