Injection Based Therapies

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Regenerative Medicine Treatments using Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Platelet-rich plasma is created by concentrating the platelets already present in your blood to intensify your body's natural healing process.

After the collection of platelets, concentrating your platelet-rich plasma in our laboratory enables us to achieve a higher level of purity. A higher level of purity means your treatment contains only what your body needs to start and continue the healing process.

What Are Platelets?

Platelets are packets of growth factors and other natural healing molecules. Platelets are flowing throughout your bloodstream and help to clot your blood. If you were to cut your skin, the platelets would:

  • Stop the bleeding

  • Release growth factors

  • Help other cells heal your injury

How Is PRP Made?

We make PRP by performing a simple blood draw from a vein in your arm. This blood is then placed into a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from other components of your blood. Our process:

  • Perform a simple blood draw

  • Purify and concentrate the platelets

  • Inject to the site of injury

Bone Marrow

Harness your body’s natural repair system to restore joint health and mobility.

Bone marrow-derived cellular therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses the healing components found in your own bone marrow to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation in damaged joints, tendons, and ligaments.

The procedure involves safely collecting a small amount of bone marrow, typically from the back of the pelvis (under local anesthesia), processing it in-office, and injecting the concentrated healing cells directly into the area of injury. These powerful cells support your body’s natural healing process by reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen production, and promoting new tissue growth.


This treatment is ideal for active individuals seeking a non-surgical solution for:

  • Moderate to advanced joint arthritis

  • Chronic tendon or ligament injuries

  • Previously failed PRP treatments

  • Delaying or avoiding joint replacement surgery

Bone marrow cellular therapy is performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for precision, and patients typically experience minimal downtime with long-term improvement in mobility and pain

Adipose

A potent regenerative option using your body’s own fat tissue.

Adipose-derived cellular therapy involves collecting a small amount of fat tissue — typically from the abdomen or flank — and processing it to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), which contains regenerative cells, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory proteins.

This cellular concentrate is then injected into the affected joint or soft tissue area to support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve function.Fat tissue is rich in regenerative cells and offers a higher volume of biological material than other sources. This makes adipose-derived injections especially beneficial for larger joints, multi-site conditions, or patients who may not be ideal candidates for bone marrow harvest.

Adipose-derived cellular therapy may be a great fit for:

  • Osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, or shoulders

  • Cartilage loss or joint degeneration

  • Widespread inflammation or soft tissue damage

  • Patients who prefer a less invasive harvest site

This procedure is performed with local anesthesia and image guidance to ensure safety and accuracy. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days and report gradual, lasting improvement over several weeks to months.

What People Say About Us

I’ve seen Dr. DeMers for a few different things in the last few years and she has ALWAYS been very knowledgeable and trustworthy in my opinion. She has made it possible to do things that I thought I wouldn’t be able to do again.

Bryan B.

My leg was a mess – crushed in a tractor a accident. Dr. DeMers has made me whole again and given me back my life.

Floyd E. S.

Dr. DeMers is a positive, caring doctor that I have come to trust and appreciate very much. I had hip pain for over a year, but was seeing Dr. DeMers for my knees. During that visit, Dr. DeMers questioned why I was using a cane to walk. After explanation and discussion, she ordered an MRI that confirmed her tentative diagnosis of a torn tendon. The tenotomy procedure that she performed was successful and I am almost 100% pain-free in my hip. And no cane needed!!
