Why Physician-Led Regenerative Medicine Matters

Not everyone offering “PRP” is qualified to perform it safely and effectively. Chiropractors cannot legally perform regenerative injections. Here’s why choosing board-certified osteopathic physicians makes all the difference:

What Is PRP & Regenerative Orthobiologic Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin) are cutting-edge regenerative therapies that use concentrated components from your own blood to support your body’s natural healing processes and help modulate inflammation—without surgery, steroids, or opioids.

What to Expect: Your Regenerative Medicine Journey

From evaluation to injection to recovery, here’s how our physician-led regenerative medicine program works:

1

Comprehensive Physician Evaluation ($29)

Board-certified osteopathic physician reviews your medical history, examines your affected joint(s), discusses your symptoms and goals, and may order imaging if needed. We determine if you’re a good candidate for PRP or A2M therapy based on your specific condition.

2

Treatment Plan & Education

If regenerative medicine is appropriate, your physician explains which approach (PRP, A2M, or combination), how many injections you’ll likely need, expected timeline for results, and answers all your questions. You’ll understand exactly what to expect before committing.

3

Blood Draw & Preparation

On treatment day, we draw a small amount of your blood (similar to routine lab work). The blood is then processed in a medical centrifuge for 10-15 minutes to concentrate your platelets or proteins to therapeutic levels.

4

Physician-Performed Injection

Your osteopathic physician numbs the injection site and uses precise anatomical landmarks (and sometimes ultrasound guidance) to inject the concentrated healing factors directly into the damaged joint or tissue. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes.

5

Recovery & Progress Monitoring

Most patients experience mild soreness for 1-3 days. Your body’s healing response typically takes 4-12 weeks to become noticeable. Your physician follows up to monitor progress and may recommend additional injections or complementary therapies like osteopathic manipulation.

Typical Treatment Timeline

Our physicians will recommend PRP therapy only when they believe it will be successful from your very first treatment. Noticeable improvement typically begins just a few weeks post-injection. Your physician customizes the treatment plan based on your individual response.

Transparent Pricing for Regenerative Medicine

We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Here’s what regenerative medicine costs at Ascent Healthcare:

Thousands of people avoid joint replacement surgery every year using physician-led regenerative medicine. Your body has the power to heal—PRP and A2M help activate that healing naturally.

Common Questions About PRP & Regenerative Medicine

Does PRP hurt? +
Most patients report mild discomfort during the injection (similar to a cortisone shot). We use local numbing to minimize discomfort. After the injection, you may experience soreness for 1-3 days, similar to a tough workout. This is normal and indicates your body’s healing response is activated.
What’s the difference between seeing you vs. a chiropractor or med spa? +
Chiropractors cannot legally perform PRP or regenerative injections in Tennessee—it’s outside their scope of practice. Med spas often use PRP for cosmetic purposes, not medical-grade orthobiologic therapy. Board-certified physicians have comprehensive medical training to properly evaluate candidates, order and interpret imaging, perform safe injections using anatomical or ultrasound guidance, and manage any complications.
Will insurance cover PRP or A2M injections? +
Because most insurance plans don’t cover regenerative medicine, we’ve built an affordable pricing structure that keeps these treatments within reach.
Can PRP help me avoid surgery? +
For many patients with mild-to-moderate arthritis, tendon injuries, or chronic joint pain, PRP or A2M may help reduce pain, improve function, and in some cases delay or reduce the need for surgery. However, severe joint damage may still require surgical intervention. Your physician will be honest about realistic expectations during your evaluation.
How soon will I see results? +
PRP and A2M work by supporting your body’s natural healing processes, so results aren’t instant. Most patients begin noticing improvement at 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement through 3-6 months. Some patients experience relief earlier, others take longer. Your physician will monitor your progress.
