Free eBooks and Reports

Everything below is free to download and written for patients weighing a
procedure against surgery. Nothing here replaces an evaluation, but it will tell you which
questions are worth asking at one.

The guides cover how these procedures work, what the published outcomes actually say, and what
to ask before choosing a clinic. If you would rather just talk to someone, call us.

Where to start

  • 01

    Facing a specific joint decision? Start with the owner’s manual for that joint — knee, spine or shoulder.

  • 02

    Comparing clinics? Read “The Top 10 Questions to Ask” and “How to Choose the Right Clinic” first.

  • 03

    Want the short version? The FAQ page covers cost, coverage, evidence and candidacy in one place.

These are educational materials from the Regenexx network. They are not a diagnosis, and not a
promise about your condition.

Read the guides, then get a real answer about your joint

The guides explain the procedures in general. The evaluation is where you find out which one, if
any, applies to the damage in your imaging.

Send your imaging ahead

If you already have an MRI or X-ray, upload it before your visit and Dr. Derrington will review it in advance.

Two offices

Carlsbad and Laguna Hills, serving San Diego and Orange County.

Request an Appointment Upload Your MRI

Or call us directly at (760) 721-4000 - Carlsbad Office or (760) 721-4000 - Laguna Hills Office
