Regenerative Injection Therapy

Our advanced orthobiologic procedures can help you heal bothersome injuries with the power of your own body

Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT)

A non-surgical approach that supports your body’s natural healing process.
Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT) is an advanced treatment designed to help repair damaged tissues, reduce pain, and improve function—without surgery.

RIT is commonly used for connective tissue injuries that haven’t responded to rest or traditional treatments. By stimulating a targeted healing response, this therapy helps the body repair small tears and weakened areas, with the goal of providing long-term relief and improved mobility.

While many treatments focus on temporary symptom relief, RIT is designed to address the underlying cause of pain.


Conditions That May Benefit

RIT has been used in the treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Sprains and soft tissue injuries
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Degenerative hip and knee conditions
  • Chronic tendonitis
  • Back and neck pain
  • Disc or facet joint degeneration
  • Joint instability
  • Sports-related or motor vehicle injuries
  • Cartilage damage in the knee
  • Partial tears of ligaments, tendons, or cartilage
  • Frozen shoulder

How Does RIT Work?

When ligaments or tendons are stretched or damaged, the joints they support can become unstable and painful. These tissues often have limited blood supply, which can slow or prevent natural healing.

RIT works by delivering targeted injections to the affected area, creating a controlled healing response. This process helps:

  • Increase blood flow to the area
  • Stimulate tissue repair
  • Strengthen weakened ligaments and tendons
  • Improve joint stability

In some cases, advanced biologic treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or other regenerative therapies may be used to further support the body’s natural healing process.

Over a series of treatments, the body gradually rebuilds healthier tissue—helping to reduce pain and restore function.


Why Use PRP or Regenerative Therapies?

✔ Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, to support the healing of injured tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.

✔ Regenerative Cell-Based Therapies

Certain regenerative therapies utilize specialized cells that can support tissue repair and recovery, making them a valuable option for patients with chronic or degenerative conditions.

These therapies are often used to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal, especially in areas that have not responded to other treatments.


What to Expect

RIT is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure typically completed in about 30 minutes. Imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, may be used to ensure precise placement.

Most patients require a series of treatments, usually spaced several weeks apart, to allow the body time to respond and heal.

After Treatment

It’s normal to experience mild soreness or stiffness at the injection site for a few days. This is part of the body’s natural healing response.

To support recovery, your provider may recommend:

  • Using acetaminophen for discomfort (avoid anti-inflammatory medications unless directed)
  • Applying ice to the area as needed
  • Staying active with light movement such as walking
  • Avoiding strenuous activity or heavy lifting for a short period
  • Following up with physical therapy when appropriate

Many patients begin to notice improvement within the first few treatments, with continued progress over time.
