Regenerative Medicine · Scottsdale, Arizona
What Is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine treats injury and degeneration by activating the body’s own repair systems instead of masking symptoms or removing tissue. In musculoskeletal care, that means precise injections — concentrated platelets (PRP), proliferant solutions (prolotherapy), ozone (Prolozone), or protective molecules (A2M) — that signal the body to rebuild ligaments, tendons, and joint tissue.

How it differs from conventional care
Conventional options for chronic joint pain mostly manage it: anti-inflammatories quiet the signal, cortisone suppresses it (and can weaken tissue over time), and surgery removes or replaces the structure. Regenerative medicine takes the third path — improving the tissue itself, so the pain resolves because the cause has healed.
It is not magic, and honest patient selection matters: early and moderate problems respond best, and some injuries still need surgery. In Scottsdale, Dr. Luca Lioce, NMD of Vita Sana Medical Center gives that honest read at every exam.
