Patient Guide
Regenerative Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Evaluation and Options
A plain-language overview of how PrimeCell Regenerative & Aesthetic Medicine approaches joint, back, tendon, and nerve-related pain — starting with a physician evaluation, not a predetermined product.
Regenerative medicine covers a range of orthobiologic and cellular options that physicians may consider for musculoskeletal and nerve-related concerns. This guide explains, in general terms, how PrimeCell evaluates patients, what categories of options exist, and what a first visit looks like — so you know what to expect before you book. It is educational information, not a substitute for an individual evaluation.
Common reasons for a visit
What patients typically come in for
Joint Pain
Knee, hip, shoulder, and other joint discomfort — often related to overuse, prior injury, or degenerative changes over time.
Back & Neck Pain
Chronic or recurring spine-related discomfort, evaluated to identify which structures may be involved before any option is discussed.
Tendon & Ligament Concerns
Tendinopathy and ligament irritation — for example, discomfort at the elbow, knee, or shoulder tied to a specific tendon or ligament.
Nerve-Related Pain
Radiating or nerve-related symptoms, such as pain that travels down a limb, evaluated to understand the likely source.
The categories
Regenerative & orthobiologic options, explained
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
A concentration of platelets drawn from the patient's own blood, prepared and administered by the physician when clinically appropriate. Whether PRP is a reasonable option for a given patient is determined after evaluation and imaging review, not before.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
A related orthobiologic preparation from the patient's own blood, sometimes considered alongside or instead of PRP depending on the structure involved and the physician's assessment.
Other Orthobiologic & Cellular Procedures
Additional regenerative options exist beyond PRP and PRF. Some products and procedures in this category are investigational and have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — see the disclosure below. Which, if any, are discussed with a given patient depends entirely on the evaluation findings.
Image-Guided Procedures
When a procedure is planned, imaging guidance (such as ultrasound) may be used to help the physician target the intended structure precisely.

How it works
The evaluation process at PrimeCell
- Physician evaluation. Dr. Kenny Chantasi, DO — board-certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine — reviews your history, symptoms, and any prior imaging or records.
- Musculoskeletal & neurological exam. A focused exam identifies which structures are likely involved, since pain does not identify its own source.
- Options discussed, not prescribed in advance. Based on findings, the physician discusses which options — regenerative, rehabilitative, or otherwise — are reasonable to consider for your specific situation.
- Written estimate. As a self-pay practice, PrimeCell provides a written cost estimate before any procedure begins, so there are no surprises.
A few quick answers
Frequently asked
Is PrimeCell a good fit if I haven't been evaluated yet?
Yes — most patients come in without a clear answer for which structure is causing their symptoms. The evaluation is the starting point, not a formality after a decision has already been made.
Does PrimeCell accept insurance?
PrimeCell is a self-pay practice. A written estimate is provided before any procedure, so cost is clear in advance. See payment plans.
