Conditions We Treat

From joint pain and arthritis to nerve conditions and spine problems, we help patients find relief through regenerative medicine - without surgery or long-term medications.

Joint Pain Nerve Conditions Spine Problems Tendon Injuries Arthritis

Joint Pain

Knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and elbow conditions

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time. While it can damage any joint, it most commonly affects joints in the hands, knees, hips, and spine.

The Science Behind Our Approach

Research shows that elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-1 (interleukin-1), drive cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis. Dr. Buchheit's approach uses treatments like the Regenokine® Program that specifically target these inflammatory pathways, helping to resolve rather than just suppress inflammation.

Nerve Hydrodissection: A Breakthrough Treatment

Dr. Buchheit uses ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection to release compressed nerves without surgery. By injecting fluid around the nerve, adhesions are released and the nerve can glide freely again. Various fluids are used including dextrose, PRP, and autologous conditioned serum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regenerative medicine treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis, joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, elbow), nerve conditions (carpal tunnel, neuropathy, sciatica), spine problems (degenerative disc disease, facet arthritis, stenosis), and tendon/ligament injuries (rotator cuff, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis).

For many patients with mild to moderate conditions, regenerative treatments like PRP and the Regenokine® Program can provide significant relief without surgery. These treatments work by stimulating your body's natural healing processes. However, severe cases with significant structural damage may still require surgical intervention.

The best way to determine if regenerative medicine can help your condition is through a consultation with Dr. Buchheit. He will review your medical history, imaging studies, and perform a physical examination to recommend the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

Most regenerative treatments are not covered by insurance as they are considered investigational. However, we offer payment plans and can provide documentation for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Many patients find that the cost of regenerative treatment is comparable to insurance copays and deductibles for surgery.
