Most people agree to a steroid injection for one reason. It hurts, and they want it to stop.

That's a fair reason, and Dr. Sally says as much. For acute pain, he calls steroids great.

The question he raises comes after the relief: what is happening inside the joint?

He notes that steroids are considered chondrotoxic, a term for substances that may harm cartilage cells.

That doesn't make the decision simple.

It does make the longer-term picture worth asking about, before a first injection and before a second one.

The relief after a cortisone shot can feel like an answer.

For a while, the joint finally quiets down.

Dr. Adelsheimer doesn't dismiss that.

He notes cortisone can have a place in the short run, including right after an acute injury.

His concern is what happens when a chronic problem keeps getting managed the same way. In his view, calming the inflammation can help a joint feel better while the underlying issue carries on, and cortisone may affect the very cells regenerative medicine aims to work with.

If you've had more than one shot in the same joint, it may be worth asking what the longer-term plan looks like.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of people with knee pain start assuming the only real option left is a replacement.

Dr. Lieber wants to widen that conversation.

He talks about bone augmentation in the knee, one of the newer approaches Regenexx Pittsburgh can now look at.

He describes the goals behind it in long-term terms, with the aim of improving function and easing pain over time for the right candidate.

Results vary from person to person, and not every knee is a fit.

An evaluation is how you find out whether this approach belongs in your own decision.

A lot of people rule themselves out before they ever ask.

The thought usually goes something like this: my cells are older now, so this probably isn't for me.

Dr. Sally hears that assumption often. In his view, stem cell numbers do decline over time, and for many patients that decline still leaves enough to draw from their own bone marrow.

He's also upfront that the healing process can take a little longer as the years add up.

Whether you're a candidate comes down to an evaluation of your own situation.

Age is one part of that picture.

Think about the last time you cut yourself.

You probably didn't do much.
A scab formed, and a week or so later it was gone.

Most people never give that process a second thought.

Dr. Adelsheimer's point is that it doesn't stop at the skin.

Your body runs repair responses internally as well, around injured areas you can't see.

That's the idea regenerative medicine starts from.
The aim is to work with the body's own cells and the responses they're capable of creating.

How much an injured area can draw on that response varies from person to person, which is where an evaluation comes in.

If you've scrolled past an ad for stem cell injections and wondered what is actually in the syringe, this clip is worth a minute.

Dr. Lieber describes the field as "less the Wild West than it used to be."

In his view, the FDA has cracked down to some extent on clinics promoting products as stem cells.

The labels can still blur together.

Products made from birth tissue, like Wharton's jelly or cord blood, often get marketed in stem cell language.

Dr. Lieber puts it plainly: "It's only tissue. It's not stem cells."

Before committing to any regenerative option, it's reasonable to ask what the product is and where it comes from.

Any clinic you trust should be comfortable answering that.

That ache in an arthritic joint can feel random, like it shows up whether you did anything to it or not.

Dr. Sally explains it as a balance problem. Inflammatory factors collect inside the joint over time, and eventually the whole environment tips toward degeneration and stays tipped.

His oil change comparison is worth sitting with. It puts the focus on what the joint is sitting in every day.

For appropriate candidates, the aim of regenerative medicine is to help move that environment back toward balance.

An evaluation can tell you whether it fits your joint.

08/28/2026

There's a particular kind of appointment where you already know how it ends before you sit down.

Dr. Lieber says he understands how repeat injection became the standard approach for chronic joint and spine pain.

What he stopped accepting was the part where the schedule extends indefinitely and nobody revisits it.

The question his patients keep bringing him is whether something exists that helps the body build back rather than only quieting the signal.

He does not claim that question has a simple answer, and candidacy is always individual.

But it is a reasonable thing to ask out loud, and most people on an injection schedule have wondered it privately for a while without feeling entitled to raise it.

You are entitled to raise it.

08/27/2026

"Does it work" is the question everyone starts with, and it is the one question that cannot be answered honestly for a stranger.

Dr. Lieber's correction: the useful version is whether it would work for you specifically.

What that turns on is your particular joint, what is actually driving your pain, how much healthy tissue you still have, and what you are trying to get back to.

Four things, none of which are visible from here.

Which means a confident general yes is answering a question about a population you happen to be near.

The honest answer to the question you are asking requires someone looking at your imaging.

That is less satisfying than a yes, and it is the only version that applies to you.
