Excited to share that Dr. Lieber was featured on Leaders & Legends Podcast with Dr. Charles Mahl to talk about the benefits of regenerative medicine and how we're helping people avoid surgery and move better with less pain.

Why do professional sports teams use PRP (platelet-rich plasma)?

For the same reason it might make sense for you - they can't afford a long recovery time.

PRP helps support your body's natural healing capabilities, which means you can have reduced pain and improved joint function, all without the down time of surgery.

If you're active at work, love to exercise, or just want to be up and moving, let's talk about whether regenerative options like PRP might be the right choice for you.

You started reaching for the railing.

You're not sure exactly when it became automatic. Going up is fine... it's coming down that you brace for now. One step at a time. Maybe a little sideways.

Most people chalk this up to age and reach for ibuprofen. But this specific pattern — pain down, not up — isn't random. Your knee is naming something pretty specific, and it's usually one of the earliest signals that something's changing in there.

The good news: caught early, this is a very different conversation than the one that happens two years from now.

"Just give it time."

That advice has an expiration date most people don't know about.

The tissue you have at week 6 isn't the tissue you have at month 6. And the conversation about what to do gets very different depending on which one you're working with.

"It's manageable."

That's the sentence most people use to put the decision off another six months.

Then another.

The body doesn't pause while you think about it. Worth understanding what's actually happening in there while you wait.

Save this. Send it to someone who's been "dealing with it" for too long.

After two knee surgeries and two shoulder surgeries, she had hit the wall most active people eventually hit.

The gym hurt. Walking hurt. Her doctors told her a knee replacement was the next step.She wasn't ready to accept that.

So when a flyer came in the mail — sent by the school district she'd taught at for 36 years — mentioning Regenexx, she made the call. Not because she was sold. Because she figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Here's what her life looks like a few weeks out:

Walking on uneven sand at the beach. No pain.
Walking through the park on rough ground with her husband. No pain.
Spring landscaping, mulching, raking — the kind of work that used to wreck her shoulder. No pain.

Her exact words: "I feel great. Absolutely great."

We share stories like this because the people who need to hear them are usually the ones who've already been told their only option is more surgery. They're the ones quietly cutting back on the things they love because pushing through hurts too much.

If that's you or someone you love, you have more options than you've been told.

Every patient is different. Every joint is different. But the conversation is worth having before you say yes to the next surgery.

You've been on the "treatment treadmill" longer than you wanted to be (and gotten nowhere).

Pills. PT. A shot. Another shot. And now someone's telling you it's time to schedule the surgery.

If something inside you is hesitating, that's worth listening to.

Watch this before you decide.

"Bone on bone."

Two words that have sent millions of people straight to surgery.

But here's what most people don't know: what the X-ray shows and what's actually causing your pain aren't always the same thing.

Studies have shown the same finding over and over — some people with severe joint space narrowing barely feel it. Others with mild narrowing can hardly walk.

The image doesn't tell you what's generating the pain.

It could be the cartilage. Or it could be inflamed soft tissue. Unstable ligaments. Joint inflammation. Things that have non-surgical options.

Before you accept "bone on bone" as a surgery mandate, ask one question:

"What specifically is causing my pain right now — and have we tried every non-surgical option for that exact structure?"

That one question can change the entire conversation with your doctor.

You did the PT. You showed up. The pain still came back.

It's not because you didn't try hard enough.

Physical therapy is great at building strength and improving how you move. But here's what PT can't do: repair the actual damaged tissue.

If you have a partially torn ligament, a tendon that healed wrong, or a joint that stays inflamed — strengthening the muscles around it won't fix what's underneath.

That's why the pain calms down for a few months… then comes back the moment you stop the exercises.

It's not a PT failure. PT is doing its job.

It just means there's something structural underneath that needs a closer look.

If your pain keeps returning, that's the signal. It's worth an honest conversation about what's actually going on in there.

Save this for the next time someone tells you to "just do more PT."

A patient sent us this handwritten note and we had to share it.

51 years old. Fastest woman on her squad (except for one 28-year-old, but who's counting).

This woman did more than just maintain her fitness after receiving regenerative treatment. She set a personal record.

Age is not the ceiling people believe it is. Our goal is always to keep you doing what you love, better than before.
