The Healing Power of Regenerative Medicine
The human body possesses extraordinary capabilities, particularly its remarkable ability to heal itself. Regenerative medicine, an innovative and rapidly advancing field, is focused on tapping into this natural healing power. Unlike traditional treatments that often just mask symptoms, regenerative medicine aims to address the root causes of ailments and injuries.
Local expert Dr. Justin Garzone, DO, FACP, FACOI, FHM of QC Kinetix Columbia, emphasizes the importance of stimulating the body's innate regenerative processes to promote healing and restoration of damaged tissues and organs.
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative treatments utilize biological cells—typically derived from your own bloodstream or, in some cases, bone marrow—to restore and repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. The process is non-surgical, has no side effects, and allows patients to avoid harmful steroids and invasive procedures.
Components such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), alpha-2-macroglobulin (a naturally occurring protein), and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) are used to stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms. These therapies are designed to enhance cellular repair, improve function, and restore quality of life.
Conditions Treated at QC Kinetix
QC Kinetix specializes in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Acute and chronic pain
Injuries impacting mobility or quality of life
Conditions affecting the neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees, wrists, elbows, feet, and ankles
Ligament tears, tendonitis, myofascial trigger points, and more
What to Expect
Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation. During this visit, you'll meet with experienced medical providers to discuss your condition and undergo a thorough examination to determine if you're a candidate for regenerative medicine.
If qualified, the team will design a personalized treatment plan, which may include:
Shockwave therapy
Class IV deep tissue laser therapy to boost circulation and decrease inflammation
Biologic therapies like PRP, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and BMAC
Treatments often begin the same day and are scheduled based on your individual recovery needs.
Supporting Healing Through Lifestyle
Regenerative therapies are even more effective when paired with healthy lifestyle habits. Activities like resistance training, walking, and spending time outdoors can support physical and mental health. A nutrient-rich diet further supports cellular healing and recovery.
A Surgery-Free Alternative
Dr. Garzone, who personally benefited from regenerative medicine before entering the field, highlights its potential: “We don’t prescribe any pain meds at all—period.”
This approach can be a powerful alternative for those looking to avoid surgery or reduce their reliance on medications. With a 92% patient satisfaction rate, QC Kinetix has helped many patients achieve meaningful pain relief and improved mobility.
Cost & Accessibility
While insurance typically doesn’t cover regenerative treatments, many patients use FSA/HSA funds. The Elective Payment Plan makes the treatment more affordable, especially when compared to the high cost of surgery and post-operative care. This non-invasive approach allows for a faster return to normal activities with minimal downtime.
Your Health, Your Choice
If regenerative therapy works for you, the results can be life-changing. Even if it doesn’t fully resolve your issue, you gain peace of mind knowing you explored a safe, non-invasive option before considering surgery.
Dr. Garzone and the team at QC Kinetix encourage everyone, including skeptics, to schedule a no-obligation consultation. Their mission is to educate and empower patients to take control of their health and explore all available paths to healing.
Regenerative medicine is filling a vital gap in the U.S. healthcare system—providing hope, solutions, and a new way forward for those in pain.
