Regenexx vs. Standard PRP: What's the Difference?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) has become widely available at orthopedic offices, sports medicine clinics, and even medical spas. But not all PRP is the same — and the differences matter. Regenexx uses a fundamentally different approach to platelet preparation, delivery, and outcome tracking compared to standard PRP offered in most clinical settings.
| Factor | Standard PRP | Regenexx (at PBR) |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Standard commercial kits; concentration varies widely | Proprietary lab-controlled protocol; consistently high concentration |
| Image Guidance | Often performed 'blind' without imaging | Every injection under real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopy — always |
| Customization | One-size-fits-all preparation | Custom formulation based on condition and imaging findings |
| Outcomes Tracking | Rarely tracked systematically | Active participation in Regenexx national outcomes registry |
| Provider Training | Minimal specialized training required | Formal Regenexx physician training and certification required |
| Published Evidence | General PRP literature; variable quality | Regenexx-specific peer-reviewed publications, including ACL and knee OA data |
| Cell Source | Your blood only (platelet layer) | Blood or bone marrow — customized to condition |
