How Regenexx Procedures Work

Regenexx uses your body’s own components — either blood or bone marrow — to support tissue repair. All procedures are performed under precise image guidance to target the affected area and avoid surrounding structures.

01

Regenexx-SD – Bone Marrow Concentrate

Collected from the back of the hip, processed to concentrate healing cells, and re-injected into the knee. Commonly used for arthritis, ligament injuries, and moderate-to-severe cases.

02

Regenexx-SCP – Advanced Platelet Procedures (PRP)

Drawn from your blood and processed to create high-purity, high-concentration platelet-rich plasma. Often used for early arthritis, overuse injuries, or tendon issues.

FDA Disclaimer

Regenexx procedures comply with FDA regulations for autologous use and minimal manipulation but are not FDA-approved drugs or devices. All procedures are physician-directed and performed under medical supervision.
