The Regenexx Family of Procedures
Regenexx began in 2003, and has a long medical history as being the trusted alternative to orthopedic surgery.
In 2011, Health Link Medical Center, now Derrington Orthopedics – Interventional Sports and Spine, became the first west-coast clinic licensed and trained to perform the Regenexx® family of Bone Marrow Concentrate and Super Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma & Platelet Lysate Procedures.
These advanced procedures provide non-surgical treatment options for those suffering from joint or bone pain, torn or strained tendons and ligaments, or other common injuries and degenerative conditions. Regenexx procedures offer a viable alternative for patients with chronic pain and who may be considering surgery.
Your body’s own healing ability, placed precisely
Regenexx uses your body’s natural healing ability to repair damage to bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments non-surgically.
Our proprietary, research-driven techniques allow us to concentrate your cells and to place them in the precise area of your injury to promote healing and to achieve optimal outcomes.

Regenexx-SD
Regenexx-SD is Bone Marrow Concentrate, which contains stem cells. These repair cells from your own body live inside all of us in various tissues, poised to leap into action to repair damage as it occurs. As we age or have big injuries, we may not be able to recruit enough of these cells to the site to fully repair the area.
The Regenexx-SD Procedure helps overcome this problem by harvesting Bone Marrow from an area of the back of the hip that contains a dense population of these important cells and then concentrating those cells before precisely injecting them into the injured area using advanced imaging guidance. The goal of the procedure is to reduce pain and improve function by promoting the body’s own ability to heal naturally.
This Patented Bone Marrow Concentrate Protocol can be used for a wide range of orthopedic conditions. Your Regenexx doctor will evaluate your condition and your imaging to determine whether a bone marrow concentrate or platelet-based treatment is the best option for your orthopedic condition.
Blood Platelet Treatments
-
01
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Lysate are platelet procedures that contain healing growth factors from your own blood that promote your body’s natural ability to repair itself.
-
02
Platelet injections have a stimulating effect on the repair cells within the targeted area, making those cells work harder to perform their natural job of healing the body.
-
03
Our Advanced Platelet Procedures are more concentrated and purer than PRP created by the automated machines used at most regenerative medicine clinics, increasing its ability to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Like all Regenexx procedures, Regenexx SCP procedures are performed with high-level imaging guidance to ensure the most accurate placements of cells into the desired area. Platelet procedures are commonly used for soft tissue injuries, mild arthritis, spine conditions, and around nerves. See Platelet Rich Plasma.
