Regenerative Medicine Therapies
Regenerative Medicine Treatments at Cellara Pain Institute
When you're facing sports injuries or persistent chronic pain, conventional treatments don't always offer lasting relief or restore your full range of motion. At Cellara Pain Institute, we provide advanced regenerative medicine therapies that support natural healing while reducing the need for invasive surgery or long-term prescription medications. Our team is proud to offer cutting-edge options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell treatments, and prolotherapy for a variety of health conditions.
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine focuses on using the body’s own healing mechanisms to repair or replace damaged tissue. These therapies activate your natural ability to heal, reducing pain and improving function caused by aging, disease, or injury. Some of the most promising approaches include PRP therapy, stem cell injections, and prolotherapy—all of which are designed to minimize downtime and maximize healing.

Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to isolate platelets, and then injecting the concentrated solution into the area of injury. Platelets contain natural growth factors that promote faster healing of tissues like ligaments, tendons, and muscles. PRP is commonly used for conditions such as tendonitis, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries.
What Are Stem Cell Injections?
Stem cell therapy utilizes your body’s own stem cells—typically extracted from fat tissue or bone marrow—to regenerate and repair damaged tissue. These injections are used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including arthritis, ligament damage, and chronic joint pain. The stem cells are harvested using a minimally invasive procedure like liposuction or bone marrow aspiration, processed, and then reinjected into the targeted area.
What Is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy involves injecting a natural solution, such as dextrose or saline, into areas of joint or soft tissue pain to stimulate healing. Unlike PRP or stem cell therapy, prolotherapy doesn’t use components from your own body, but instead triggers your body’s repair response by creating a mild, controlled irritation at the site of injury. This therapy is often used to treat arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic knee or joint pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you suffer from chronic pain or have not found relief with traditional therapies, regenerative medicine may be a viable option. Our specialists will evaluate your condition and determine which therapy, if any, is appropriate for your specific needs.
Collection: PRP is obtained via blood draw; stem cells may be harvested from fat tissue or bone marrow.
Processing: Your sample is processed and concentrated into an injectable solution.
Injection: After numbing the area, the solution is injected under ultrasound guidance for accuracy.
Recovery: Most patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours. Mild soreness may occur.
Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks, but it can take several months to experience the full benefit. While results are long-lasting, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended. Your provider at Cellara Pain Institute will discuss a personalized care plan with realistic expectations based on your condition.
