Loading, please waitRegenerative orthopedics
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate (BMAC) delivered with image guidance, supervised by licensed physicians at a COFEPRIS-regulated clinic in Cancún. We treat orthopedic pain as a multi-tissue problem — joint, disc, tendon and muscle — and we are honest about who is and is not a candidate.
Transparency
Regenerative orthopedics is supportive therapy, complementary to your medical and surgical care. Outcomes vary by patient. We do not claim to rebuild cartilage, regrow discs or replace a needed surgery. Every case begins with a personal medical evaluation, and we will tell you directly when surgery, rehabilitation or another path is the better choice.
Regenerative vs surgery
Both surgery and regenerative medicine have legitimate roles in musculoskeletal care. The right answer depends on your diagnosis, your imaging, your function and your goals — not on a one-size protocol.
If your case sits in the gray zone — moderate degeneration, chronic pain, surgery is on the table but not urgent — that is exactly where a regenerative evaluation is most useful.
Conditions we treat
Each card opens a dedicated page with candidacy criteria, expected outcomes and the specific regenerative protocols we apply.
MSC and PRP for grade I–III knee OA — pain reduction, improved function and delayed progression in selected patients. Combined with rehab and weight optimization.
Intradiscal MSC and PRP for contained disc herniation and chronic discogenic low back pain — when imaging and exam confirm no progressive nerve compression.
PRP, MSC and BMAC for partial tendon tears, chronic tendinopathies and overuse injuries (patellar, Achilles, rotator cuff, tennis elbow). Same-day discharge, rehab integration.
When low back pain has lasted more than 3 months and conservative care has plateaued, regenerative options targeting disc, facet joints and paraspinal soft tissue may be evaluated.
Treatments we deliver
Every protocol is personalized after a medical evaluation and reviewed imaging. We do not apply a one-product menu — your physician chooses the biologic based on the tissue we are trying to support.
Mesenchymal stem cells delivered into the joint capsule (knee, shoulder, hip) under ultrasound guidance. Indicated mainly for early- to moderate-stage osteoarthritis and select chronic synovitis.
Stem cell therapyMesenchymal stem cells injected into the nucleus pulposus under fluoroscopic guidance, for contained lumbar disc degeneration and select chronic discogenic pain. Outpatient, image-verified.
Spine treatmentPlatelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood and applied into tendons, ligaments, joints or epidural / paraspinal targets. Used alone for tendinopathies or combined with MSC for joints.
PRP therapyBMAC harvested from the iliac crest under local anesthesia, concentrated and injected at the lesion. An autologous option for select cases of advanced tendinopathy and OA.
Joint infiltrationImage guidance
We do not blind-inject orthopedic targets. Every joint, tendon or disc procedure is performed under ultrasound (for soft tissue and most joints) or fluoroscopy (for spine and deep targets) so the biologic actually reaches the tissue we are trying to support.
After the injection
A regenerative injection is one piece of a larger rehab plan. Patients who pair it with structured physical therapy and metabolic optimization see better and more durable outcomes.
Same-day discharge. Relative rest for 24–48 hours, no NSAIDs unless instructed. Local soreness is expected.
Gradual return to daily activity. Start a tailored physical-therapy plan focused on range of motion, neuromuscular control and load tolerance.
Progressive loading. Blood-flow-restriction (BFR) training may be added for selected joints when traditional loading is limited by pain.
Clinical follow-up to reassess pain, function and imaging when relevant. Decide whether a second session, a different biologic or a surgical opinion is the right next step.
Realistic outcomes
Honesty about outcomes is part of consent. The evidence base supports meaningful improvements in pain and function for selected patients; it does not yet support claims that cartilage or discs are fully rebuilt.
Honest screening
We refuse cases where evidence does not support a regenerative approach — that protects you. If any of the following apply, we will redirect you to the more appropriate specialty.
When in doubt we coordinate with your orthopedic surgeon or rheumatologist. The goal is the best outcome for you, not retaining you as a patient.
FAQ
Short, conservative answers about candidacy, evidence, recovery and what to expect.
Regenerative orthopedics is a clinical approach that uses biologics — mesenchymal stem cells, platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow concentrate — to support the body's own repair mechanisms in joints, discs, tendons, ligaments and muscles. It is performed under image guidance by licensed physicians and is supportive, not a replacement for accurate diagnosis or, when needed, surgery.
The most-studied indications include knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grades I–III), chronic discogenic low back pain, contained lumbar disc herniation without progressive nerve compression, chronic tendinopathies (patellar, Achilles, rotator cuff, elbow) and partial tendon tears. Candidacy depends on imaging, clinical exam, age, weight and overall joint health — assessed during a medical evaluation.
No. For grade IV osteoarthritis with bone-on-bone changes, joint replacement remains the definitive treatment and we will tell you so directly. For moderate (grade I–III) disease, regenerative protocols may delay or postpone surgery in some patients. The decision is clinical, not commercial.
Most patients report meaningful improvements in pain and mobility between weeks 4 and 12 after the procedure, with cumulative benefits peaking at 3–6 months. Sustaining the result requires structured rehabilitation and, when relevant, metabolic and weight optimization. A second session is sometimes scheduled at 3 or 6 months.
When performed in a COFEPRIS-regulated facility with image guidance, sterile technique and physician supervision, the safety profile is favorable. The most common adverse effects are mild local soreness, transient pain flare and minor bruising. Serious complications (infection, persistent neurological symptoms) are rare. We screen for contraindications before every procedure.
Regenerative protocols are usually not covered by international insurance because they are still considered investigational by many payers. We provide complete invoicing and clinical documentation if you wish to submit a reimbursement claim, but we do not promise coverage.
Yes — and ideally yes. We coordinate with your treating orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist or physical therapist. The biologic injection is one component of a broader plan that includes rehabilitation, load management and lifestyle modifications.
Book a medical consultation at our clinic in Cancún. Bring your most recent imaging (X-ray, MRI or ultrasound), any prior reports and the list of medications you take. The physician will review your case, examine you, and tell you whether a regenerative path makes clinical sense for your specific situation.
