Regenerative Orthopedic Care

Regenerative therapies may be considered for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including certain tendon injuries, ligament injuries, joint conditions, and chronic overuse injuries. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, imaging findings when available, and your goals for recovery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain naturally occurring growth factors and signaling proteins involved in tissue repair and healing responses. The concentrated PRP is then delivered to the treatment area under physician guidance.

Yes. Because PRP is created from your own blood, it does not involve donor blood products or foreign biologic materials. As with any injection procedure, temporary soreness, swelling, bruising, stiffness, or discomfort at the treatment site may occur. Less common risks include infection, bleeding, nerve irritation, or injury to surrounding structures. The potential risks and benefits of treatment will be discussed during your consultation.

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that delivers acoustic energy into targeted tissues. It is commonly used as part of regenerative treatment plans for certain tendon, soft-tissue, and musculoskeletal conditions. At Tone & Core, our advanced shockwave platform incorporates both focused and radial technologies, allowing treatment protocols to be tailored to the condition and tissue being treated.

Most patients tolerate shockwave therapy well. Depending on the area being treated and the treatment settings required, some temporary discomfort may be experienced during the procedure. Treatment parameters can often be adjusted to optimize comfort while maintaining therapeutic benefit.

Temporary soreness, tenderness, redness, mild swelling, or bruising may occur following treatment. These effects are typically short-lived and resolve within several days. Serious complications are uncommon when shockwave therapy is performed appropriately.

For select conditions, PRP and shockwave therapy may be used together as part of a comprehensive regenerative treatment plan. While PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the treatment area, shockwave therapy may help stimulate biological activity within the tissue and support the healing environment. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on the condition being treated, clinical findings, and your treatment goals.

Yes. Some patients experience a temporary increase in soreness, stiffness, or discomfort following PRP or shockwave therapy. This response is often temporary and may occur as part of the body's natural healing process. Recovery timelines vary depending on the condition being treated and individual factors.

The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated, its severity, how long symptoms have been present, and individual response to therapy. Some patients may benefit from a single PRP treatment, while others may benefit from a series of shockwave treatments or a combination approach. Treatment recommendations will be discussed during your consultation.

Every patient responds differently. Some individuals notice improvement within a few weeks, while others experience more gradual improvement over several months as healing and tissue remodeling occur. The expected timeline depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and individual healing factors.

No. PRP and shockwave therapy are non-surgical treatment options. However, not every condition is appropriate for regenerative treatment, and some patients may still require surgical evaluation depending on the diagnosis and severity of the condition.

No. PRP and stem cell therapies are different treatment approaches. PRP uses platelets obtained from your own blood and is designed to deliver naturally occurring growth factors and signaling proteins to the treatment area. Tone & Core currently offers PRP-based regenerative therapies.

Regenerative therapies such as PRP and shockwave therapy are generally not covered by most insurance plans. Tone & Core is a direct-pay practice, and treatment costs will be reviewed before any services are provided.
