OUR APPROACH
The Procedure is not the Starting Point
Regenerative care often focuses on the product, the preparation, and the injection. We believe the patient comes first. Before discussing treatment, Dr. James Ghattas looks at the full picture, including your diagnosis, imaging, condition severity, health history, previous treatments, goals, and the factors that may influence your readiness for treatment and recovery. The procedure is only one part of the plan. Understanding candidacy, preparing the patient, and supporting the recovery environment before and after treatment all matter. If treatment is not the right option, Dr. Ghattas will tell you.
●ORTHOBIOLOGIC TREATMENTS
Using Your Own Biology
Orthobiologic procedures use concentrated preparations from your own blood or bone marrow, with additional options considered in selected cases. Every procedure is personally performed by Dr. Ghattas using real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.
Physician-Led
Every evaluation and procedure personally performed by Dr. Ghattas
Image-Guided
Real-time targeting of the intended joint, tendon, ligament, disc, or nerve
Candidacy-Driven
Treatment considered only when the diagnosis, imaging, severity, and goals support it
Data-Informed
Protocols guided by clinical research and Regenexx outcomes data
●TREATMENT OPTIONS
A Closer Look at the Main Approaches
A concentrated platelet preparation considered for selected joint, tendon, ligament, and spine conditions when diagnosis and imaging support a platelet-based approach.
A concentrated preparation derived from the patient’s own bone marrow. It may be considered for selected higher-severity injuries and degenerative conditions when the diagnosis, imaging, and candidacy assessment support its use.
A preparation derived from the patient’s own adipose tissue. It may be considered in selected cases based on diagnosis, imaging, condition severity, and overall candidacy.
A platelet-derived preparation considered for selected nerve, joint, and spine-related treatment plans. Candidacy depends on the structures involved, the nature and severity of the condition, and other medical factors that all need to be taken into consideration.
An image-guided procedure designed to address selected nerve compression or irritation by carefully separating the nerve from surrounding tissue. It may be considered for certain peripheral nerve conditions after a detailed clinical and imaging evaluation.
Depending on the patient and condition, additional options may include:·Hyaluronic acid used in combination with selected platelet or bone-marrow-based treatment plans·Intraosseous procedures for selected cases·Prolotherapy·Trigger point injections·Stellate ganglion block·Direct intradiscal procedures in carefully selected casesThese are not appropriate for every patient and are not always the primary treatment approach.
IMAGE-GUIDED PRECISION
Placement Matters
Choosing the right preparation is only part of the procedure. Accurate placement also matters. Dr. Ghattas uses real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to visualize the treatment area and direct the procedure toward the intended anatomical structure. This is especially important when treating a specific joint, tendon, ligament, disc, or nerve.
●HOW TREATMENT IS SELECTED
No One-Size-Fits-All Treatment Plan
Diagnosis
Understanding what is actually causing the problem
Imaging
Defining the structure involved and the severity of the condition
Condition Severity
Determining how the stage of injury or degeneration will affect outcomes
Previous Care
Reviewing past procedures, therapies, medications, and surgical recommendations
Personal Goals
Understanding what you want to get back to and what matters most to you.
Overall Candidacy
Confirming whether orthobiologic treatment may be appropriate
●THE REGENEXX NETWORK
Treatment Planning Informed
by Patient Outcomes Data
Palm Beach Regenerative is part of the Regenexx network, with protocols informed by one of the largest orthobiologic outcomes registries in the world. Treatment decisions are grounded in a defined clinical process and real patient outcomes, not trend or marketing claim.
●THE BIOMOD LAB
Support for Recovery, Performance, and the Broader Care Plan
BioMod Lab brings together selected non-injection therapies and supportive protocols that may be used before treatment, after treatment, or independently when appropriate.Services may include Robotic MLS Laser Therapy, physician-directed supplement protocols, bracing, TENS therapy, and coordination with trusted physical therapy or chiropractic partners.Orthobiologic procedures address the treatment target. BioMod Lab supports the broader recovery and performance plan.
