Regenerative & Restorative Therapies

Our regenerative treatments are designed to support the body’s natural healing response and restore musculoskeletal balance without surgery. By utilizing evidence-informed techniques, we focus on improving tissue function, reducing inflammation, and promoting recovery at the source of discomfort.

These therapies aim to stimulate repair processes, enhance circulation, and support long-term structural integrity, helping you move more comfortably and function more efficiently.

Targeted Support for Nerve Pain & Chronic Inflammation

What Goes Into Your Treatment

Regenerative medicine is only as good as the care behind it.

1

Directed by a rehabilitation physician

Dr. Alita Sikora, MD, is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the specialty focused on restoring movement and function without surgery, and has practiced in Vero Beach since 2007.

2

Accuracy where it matters

For joint and soft tissue treatment, we use in-office ultrasound to see exactly what's being treated, so your injection reaches the right place the first time.

3

Prepared from your own body, carefully

Treatments using your own blood or fat tissue are processed in a sterile, closed system, so what you receive is consistent every visit.

4

Trusted by the patients who rate us

Dr. Sikora is a Patients' Choice 5-Year Honoree, given to roughly 1% of physicians nationally, reflecting sustained patient experience rather than a single good year.

Conditions Regenerative Care May Address

Patients across Vero Beach, Sebastian, and the surrounding area come to us for:

Safety and Considerations
  • Chronic tendon pain, including tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis
  • Joint discomfort from osteoarthritis or overuse
  • Ligament sprains and mild cartilage wear
  • Muscle tears and soft tissue strains
  • Sports and repetitive motion injuries
  • Limited mobility, they'd rather address before considering surgery

Regenerative treatments are also used for hair restoration, facial rejuvenation, and sexual wellness. They aren't right for everyone, though: advanced joint degeneration, active infection, and certain health conditions can limit results, and some problems are better handled surgically. An exam and imaging determine which applies to you.

  • Improved joint function and mobility

Key Benefits of Exosome Therapy

Regenerative Services We Offer

We offer non-surgical regenerative options that work with your body's own healing processes. Here's what each involves:

PRP | Platelet Rich Plasma

Uses your own platelets to promote healing and reduce inflammation, so allergy risk is low. Prepared with FDA-cleared equipment, though not FDA-approved for specific orthopedic conditions.

PRP Musculoskeletal

Targets joints and soft tissue to reduce inflammation and restore function, for tendon pain, osteoarthritis, and overuse injuries. Placed with ultrasound guidance, usually across one to three sessions.

PRP Facial Aesthetics

Supports collagen production to improve skin tone and texture, often for uneven skin tone, acne scars, and loss of firmness. A series of three sessions is typical, with redness lasting a day or two.

PRP Hair Growth

Delivers growth factors to the scalp to support natural hair restoration in men and women, noticing thinning. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes, with three to four spaced four to six weeks apart.

PRP Sexual Wellness

Supports tissue health, circulation, and sexual wellness using the same platelet-rich plasma approach, prepared from your own blood.

Exosomes

May support cellular communication and tissue repair. The FDA has approved no exosome products for any orthopedic condition, so we first review what is and isn’t established.

IntelliFat BOD | Adipose

Harvests and reinjects your own fat tissue, rich in growth factors, to support repair and regeneration. Done in-office under local anesthesia in under an hour, with light activity resumed within days.

When to Expect Results

Stem Cell-Based Options

May support tissue restoration and modulate inflammation. These are not FDA-approved for orthopedic conditions, so we review the evidence and regulatory status with you first. Offered as:

Each service is tailored to your unique goals and functional relief concerns.

The Regenerative Care Process

Your treatment is planned around your diagnosis, monitored throughout, and adjusted as you respond.

1

Consultation

Review your symptoms, prior treatment, imaging, and goals.

2

Treatment Plan

We recommend the options best suited to your diagnosis, and explain what each involves before anything is scheduled.

3

Procedure

Most treatments are performed in-office and are minimally invasive, with ultrasound guidance used where it improves accuracy.

4

Aftercare

Guidance is provided to support recovery and protect the treated area.

5

Follow-Up

Additional sessions or maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your response and goals.

Timelines and Considerations

  • Recovery is usually brief. Mild soreness for one to two days is common, with most patients resuming light activity shortly after.
  • Results build gradually. Tissue rebuilding occurs over roughly four to six weeks, with some patients noticing early mobility changes within a few weeks and others improving over several months.
  • A series is often needed. Most musculoskeletal plans involve one to three sessions spaced several weeks apart.
  • Response varies. Advanced joint degeneration, active infection, uncontrolled diabetes, clotting disorders, active cancer, pregnancy, and smoking can all limit results. Not every patient improves.
Safety and Considerations

Frequently Asked Questions

What regenerative treatments are available for joint pain in Vero Beach?

At our Vero Beach office, we offer platelet-rich plasma, adipose-derived cellular therapy, exosomes, and Wharton's Jelly for joints, tendons, and soft tissue, with injections placed under ultrasound guidance. Which option fits depends on your diagnosis, imaging, and what you've already tried.

What is the difference between PRP, exosome therapy, and other regenerative treatments?

PRP and adipose-derived therapy use your own blood or fat tissue, so nothing foreign is introduced. Exosomes and cell-based products are laboratory-prepared. PRP is prepared with FDA-cleared equipment but isn't FDA-approved for specific orthopedic conditions, and exosome and stem cell products aren't approved for any orthopedic condition.

Can regenerative treatment help me avoid surgery?

For some patients, yes. Non-surgical options are often worth exhausting first and may delay or reduce the need for surgery. For advanced joint degeneration, surgery may still be the better answer, and we'll tell you when that's the case.

How soon will I see results, and how many sessions will I need?

Tissue rebuilding occurs over roughly four to six weeks, with fuller benefit developing over months. Most musculoskeletal plans involve one to three sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Does insurance cover regenerative treatments?

Coverage varies by treatment type, and many regenerative and integrative therapies are self-pay. Our team will review applicable costs with you, and financing is available through M Lend Financial.

Is regenerative treatment painful, and is there downtime?

Most patients tolerate injections well, and ultrasound guidance helps with precise placement. Mild soreness for one to two days is typical, and most people return to light activity shortly afterward.
