Crestview, FL Regenerative Medicine
Stem cell therapy, PRP, and EPAT shockwave for Crestview patients who want to avoid or delay surgery and long-term medication.
Regenerative Medicine for Crestview Patients
Crestview sits at an elevation of about 236 feet, one of the highest points in the state, and well north of the beach towns. Even so, many Crestview residents choose our Fort Walton Beach clinic, about 27 miles south on SR 85.
Regenerative medicine is an approach that focuses on the body's natural ability to heal and repair itself. Our goal is to promote tissue repair and ease pain without invasive surgery or long-term medication.
How Regenerative Medicine Works
Stem cell therapy injects stem cells into the affected area to support tissue regeneration. Our clinic uses screened Wharton's Jelly tissue from donated umbilical cords, with ultrasound-guided, intra-articular, and intramuscular injections.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy uses your own blood. We draw a small sample, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and inject the PRP into the injury site to stimulate healing.
Who Regenerative Medicine May Help
Regenerative care may be an option for Crestview patients with:
- Osteoarthritis and joint pain
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Sports and orthopedic injuries
- Long-term wear and tear or degenerative arthritis
- Injuries from auto accidents or work
Regenerative therapies are not right for everyone, and results vary. We will explain which option, if any, fits your condition and what a realistic timeline looks like.
Many people from Crestview put off care because they hope the problem will go away on its own. If it keeps returning, an evaluation is worth it.
How Care Starts for Crestview Patients
Knowing what to expect can take a lot of stress out of a first appointment. Here is how regenerative medicine usually begins for patients coming from Crestview:
Request an appointment online or call (850) 226-6728. No referral is needed, and our staff can verify your insurance benefits before treatment.
A thorough exam with orthopedic and strength testing, medically necessary X-rays if needed, and an honest talk about your goals for treatment.
We review your history, imaging, and goals, then explain which regenerative options, such as stem cells, PRP, or EPAT, may fit, along with the corrective care that supports them.
Your team reviews progress at follow-up visits and changes the plan when needed, so each visit moves you toward your goals.
Your plan is reviewed as you go, and the number and spacing of visits depend on your condition and how your body responds.

Regenerative Medicine FAQs for Crestview Patients
Is regenerative medicine an alternative to surgery?
For some patients, regenerative care may help avoid or delay surgery or joint replacement. It is not right for every condition, and we will tell you honestly if a surgical opinion makes sense.
How often will I need to come in?
It depends on the therapy. A stem cell injection is a single appointment with zero downtime. After a PRP injection, it can take six to eight weeks to assess how your body responds, and EPAT is given over several sessions. Corrective care visits are scheduled around these treatments. Because of the distance from Crestview, we try to group parts of your care into the same visit when it is appropriate.
How long is the drive from Crestview to your office?
Most Crestview patients reach us in about 40 minutes by heading south on SR 85. Because of the distance, we try to coordinate several parts of your care in the same visit when that is appropriate.
Can you combine regenerative therapies in one care plan?
Yes. Depending on your condition, a plan may combine stem cell injections, PRP, and EPAT with physical rehab, bracing, and chiropractic care. Our team explains how each piece fits before you start.
Do you accept insurance for regenerative medicine?
Coverage depends on your plan, so the best first step is to call (850) 226-6728. Our staff will verify your benefits before treatment at no charge. We accept most health insurance plans, including Medicare, plus auto accident and workers' compensation cases. Coverage for some treatments differs from plan to plan, so we will go over your options before you decide.
What should I wear for my first visit?
Wear loose clothing that gives easy access to the treatment area. If PRP is planned, a short-sleeved shirt makes the blood draw easier. Since the drive from Crestview takes about 40 minutes, comfortable clothes that are easy to sit in for the ride are a good idea.
