●WHY PALM BEACH REGENERATIVE

A More Thoughtful Approach to Non-Surgical Care

We think of healing as needing two things: a signal and energy. Orthobiologic injections, made from your own blood, bone marrow, or fat, provide the signal, placed under real-time imaging at the structure causing your pain. BioMod Lab therapies add energy through light, sound waves, and electromagnetic fields, with no needles. Some patients need one, some need both. Every plan starts with an honest diagnosis.

Learn About Our Approach

Measured Outcomes

We follow up with patients at set points after treatment, from 6 weeks to 18 months, and track how pain and function change. As a physician in the licensed Regenexx network, Dr. Ghattas also draws on outcomes data from patients treated across the network. Individual results vary.

See Patient Outcomes

Precise Placement

Every injection is placed under real-time ultrasound or live X-ray (fluoroscopy) guidance, so placement at the intended joint, tendon, ligament, disc, or nerve can be confirmed as it happens.

A Plan Built Around You

Your plan is shaped by your diagnosis, imaging, and goals. Orthobiologic procedures and BioMod Lab therapies are combined only when that fits your condition.

●THE PROBLEM

Is Pain Making Your Life Smaller?

Many patients come to us after being told surgery is the only option left, or after physical therapy, injections, or medication haven't given lasting relief. Pain has a way of shrinking your world: the round of golf you skip, the walk you cut short, the activity you quietly stop planning around. Our focus is helping active patients explore a precise, non-surgical path before assuming surgery is the only one.

●OUR PHILOSOPHY

Are You Actually a Candidate?

Dr. Ghattas personally evaluates every patient against a defined set of criteria: diagnosis, imaging, severity, and goals. If you are not a good fit for orthobiologic treatment, he will tell you directly and explain what he'd recommend instead, rather than offering a procedure that isn't likely to help. Every evaluation and procedure is personally performed by Dr. Ghattas, using real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance rather than delegated to staff.

●YOUR OPTIONS

What to Know Before You Choose Surgery

Orthobiologic treatments use concentrated preparations from your own body to support its natural healing response, with minimal downtime. But not every treatment is right for every patient.

If Dr. Ghattas believes you're a good candidate, he'll explain why. If he doesn't, he'll tell you.

●HOW WE TREAT

Science-Backed, Physician-Led, Fully Supported

THE DIFFERENCE

Why Our Regenerative Medicine Is Different

Our procedures use preparations made from your own blood, bone marrow, or fat, placed with real-time image guidance rather than a blind injection. Dr. Ghattas personally performs every evaluation and every procedure, and will tell you plainly if you are not a candidate.

●MEET YOUR PHYSICIAN

Meet Dr. James Ghattas

Dr. Ghattas is double board-certified in Neurology and Interventional Pain Management, with fellowship training in interventional orthobiologics. He personally evaluates every patient and personally performs every procedure, reviewing your imaging and history himself rather than delegating that judgment.

Neurology

Board certification in diagnosing and treating conditions of the nervous system, including nerve-related pain.

Interventional Pain Management

Board certification in image-guided procedures for diagnosing and treating the source of musculoskeletal
and nerve pain.

Orthobiologics

Fellowship training in image-guided orthobiologic procedures using a patient's own blood, bone marrow, or fat.

This combination lets Dr. Ghattas look at pain from more than one angle: where it originates, how the nervous system is involved, and whether an orthobiologic approach is appropriate for the structure causing it.
