Hi. We’re here to help you stop guessing.
If you’ve already tried physical therapy, cortisone shots, anti-inflammatories, or you’ve been told “your only option is surgery” — we get it. Most of our patients walk in feeling that exact frustration.
Here’s the good news: there’s an in-between option that doesn’t just block the pain — it rebuilds the tissue. The hard part isn’t finding regenerative medicine. The hard part is figuring out which one is right for you — A2M, PRP, stem cell, or a combined package. That’s what the next 60 seconds will help with.
Take the quick assessment below. We’ll suggest your top 3 options, no email required.

How we help — in 4 simple steps
Find the source
On-site thermal scan and digital X-ray show where the joint is actually breaking down. Already have an MRI from another provider? Bring it — we'll incorporate it into your assessment.
Match the therapy
Inflammation? A2M. Damaged cartilage or ligament? Umbilical Cord Allograft (stem cell). Tendon healing? PRP. The diagnosis dictates the injection — not a one-size protocol.
Inject precisely
Ultrasound-guided where indicated. The biologic is delivered exactly to the damaged tissue — not into surrounding fat or muscle. Image-guided placement is the difference between a working injection and a wasted one.
Rebuild over weeks
Your body uses the regenerative signal to rebuild. Most patients feel changes inside 4–12 weeks. We track progress and add supportive therapies (Class IV laser, ozone, soft-tissue release, PEMF) as the rebuild continues.
Conditions regenerative medicine treats
Most patients we see have already tried physical therapy, cortisone shots, oral anti-inflammatories, or have been told "the only option is surgery." Regenerative therapy is the in-between option that actually rebuilds tissue.
Chronic back pain
Disc-related pain, facet joint inflammation, sacroiliac joint dysfunction. PRP and A2M into the targeted disc or facet are common.
Sciatica & radiculopathy
When the nerve is being compressed by inflammation, A2M or ozone into the surrounding tissue can quiet the irritation without surgery.
Herniated & bulging disc
Combined with spinal decompression, regenerative injections support disc rehydration and reduce the inflammatory chain reaction.
Knee osteoarthritis
One of the most-treated joints. A2M targets cartilage-breakdown enzymes; UCA delivers rebuilding signal. Diamond and Platinum packages are designed around the knee protocol.
Rotator cuff & shoulder pain
PRP for partial-thickness tears and tendinopathy. UCA for advanced cartilage involvement. Most patients return to overhead work and golf.
Hip, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow
Smaller-volume PRP plus bio-scaffolding plus targeted laser. Often included in Gold or Platinum packages.
CPRC vs. overseas stem cell tourism
Patients ask if they should fly to Mexico, Panama, or the Caribbean for cheaper stem cell. Here's the honest comparison.
Charleston Pain Relief Center
USA · In-person follow-up- Umbilical Cord Allograft sourced from accredited US tissue banks
- Procedure performed in our North Charleston clinic — in-person follow-up included
- Real practitioner accountability — 18+ years serving the Lowcountry
- Transparent pricing — Diamond package $6,503.25 paid-in-full
- If you have a complication, you can drive to us — no flights, no language barrier
Overseas Stem Cell Clinics
Mexico · Panama · Caribbean- Tissue sourcing varies — often unverified or unregulated by US standards
- Travel costs ($1,500–$4,000) on top of the procedure and lodging
- Follow-up done over WhatsApp — or not at all

Who's a candidate — and who isn't
✓ Likely a good candidate
- Failed physical therapy or cortisone for joint pain
- Imaging shows mild-to-moderate cartilage loss, partial tear, or chronic tendinopathy
- Told "your only option is surgery" but want to try less-invasive first
- Active and healthy enough that healing is realistic
- Want to avoid long-term anti-inflammatories or opioids
✗ Probably not the right fit
- Active infection or uncontrolled blood-borne disease
- Active cancer or recent chemotherapy
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Severe blood-clotting disorders
Not sure where you fall? The 30-minute consultation is the right place to find out.
Transparent pricing — when you're ready
You don't have to memorize this — your phone consult will spell out exactly what fits your case. We post the numbers here because we've never believed in "starting at" gimmicks. No surprise fees. The price is the cash price for one joint, one session.
A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin)
A2M targets and binds the destructive enzymes that drive cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis. Best for joints with inflammation and early-to-moderate cartilage loss.
Umbilical Cord Allograft (Stem Cell)
Cord-derived allograft delivers signaling proteins, growth factors, and structural support directly into damaged cartilage, ligament, and tendon. Used when more rebuilding signal is needed.
PRP + Bio Scaffolding
Platelet-Rich Plasma drawn from your own blood, concentrated, and re-injected with bio-scaffolding to accelerate tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue healing.
Joint Rejuvenation Packages
Bundle multiple regenerative therapies for one joint and save up to 25%. Paid-in-full pricing — no financing required.

Frequently asked questions
How much does regenerative medicine cost at Charleston Pain Relief Center?
Cash prices are transparent: A2M $3,297 per joint, Umbilical Cord Allograft (Stem Cell) $3,797, PRP + Bio Scaffolding $1,297. Joint Rejuvenation Packages bundle 2–3 therapies and save up to 25% — Gold from $2,660.25, Platinum $3,633, Diamond $6,503.25. Add a second joint same-day for $1,500.
What's the difference between A2M, PRP, and stem cell — and which one do I need?
A2M binds the destructive enzymes that drive cartilage breakdown — best for inflammation-driven joint pain and early osteoarthritis. PRP uses your own concentrated platelets and is best for tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue healing. Umbilical Cord Allograft (stem cell) delivers the strongest rebuilding signal — used when there's structural damage. Your imaging and symptom history dictate the right choice — that's what the phone consult is for, and what the assessment above tries to point you toward.
Is regenerative medicine well-regulated?
The biologics we use are sourced from US-based, regulated tissue suppliers (domestic, accredited cell sourcing). PRP is autologous (drawn from your own blood, processed in-clinic, re-injected). All injections are performed by licensed providers under clinic protocols. We do not use unregulated or overseas tissue.
How many sessions will I need?
Many joints respond well to a single regenerative injection plus supportive therapies (laser, ozone, soft-tissue release). Severe or multi-tissue cases sometimes benefit from a second session 8–12 weeks later. We don't sell session packages you don't need — the goal is the fewest injections that solve the problem.
Does insurance cover regenerative medicine?
Regenerative injections (A2M, PRP, stem cell) are not currently covered by commercial insurance or Medicare. That's the trade-off for getting a treatment that can actually rebuild tissue instead of just blocking pain signals. We accept HSA/FSA and offer paid-in-full pricing.
How quickly will I feel results?
Most patients feel a meaningful change between 4 and 12 weeks. Some notice a difference inside the first 2 weeks — that's usually the anti-inflammatory effect kicking in early. The full rebuild continues for 3–6 months as the regenerative signal directs new tissue formation.
How does CPRC compare to overseas stem cell clinics in Mexico or Panama?
Our biologics come from accredited US tissue banks. The procedure is performed in our North Charleston clinic with in-person follow-up. Overseas clinics often use unverified tissue, charge $1,500–$4,000 in travel costs, and offer no real follow-up if you have a complication. Total cost frequently lands within $500–$1,000 of our Diamond package — without the US accountability floor.
Do I need an MRI before a regenerative consult?
Not always. Many patients come in with an existing MRI from their orthopedist or primary care provider — bring it, we'll work with it. If you don't have imaging, we have on-site digital X-ray at $50 cash — the diagnostic step can happen in the same visit as your consult.
Can I do regenerative medicine if I've already had surgery?
Yes — many post-surgical patients use regenerative medicine to address residual pain, slow healing, or scar tissue. We review the surgical record during your consult and decide whether A2M, PRP, UCA, or a combined protocol fits.
