Regenerative Medicine Services
Regenerative medicine includes treatment approaches intended to support the body’s natural healing response. In musculoskeletal medicine, orthobiologic options such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) may be considered for selected patients as part of an individualized care plan.
Dr. Raj Desai evaluates the source of pain, prior treatment, examination findings, imaging when relevant, activity demands, and treatment goals before recommending a regenerative procedure. BMAC or PRP may be discussed for selected musculoskeletal conditions when clinically appropriate; neither treatment is appropriate for every patient or every source of pain.
PRP is prepared from a patient’s own blood and concentrates platelets and signaling factors. BMAC is prepared from a patient’s own bone marrow aspirate and contains a concentrated mixture of bone-marrow-derived cells and signaling components. These are different procedures, and the appropriate option depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s clinical findings.
PRP has shown promise in treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and muscle strains. It is often used as a non-surgical alternative to more invasive treatments, such as joint replacement surgery or corticosteroid injections.

Regenerative treatment is generally considered within a broader plan that may also include rehabilitation, activity modification, medication management, image-guided procedures, or other pain-management strategies. The goal is to select treatment based on the diagnosis rather than apply a single procedure to all patients.
Back pain is a prevalent discomfort affecting the spine's muscles, nerves, or bones. It can range from mild to severe and may result from various causes such as muscle strain, herniated discs, or poor posture.
Hip pain involves discomfort in the hip joint and can result from conditions like arthritis, bursitis, or injuries. It may impact mobility and daily activities.
