Medically reviewed by Derek Wimmer, PA Updated
Regenerative medicine at Wimmer is a non-surgical approach that uses your body's own healing processes — through treatments like Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes, peptides, PRP, and focused shockwave therapy — to manage orthopedic pain and support function. Every plan is individualized, and candidacy is reviewed honestly for your specific situation.
| Approach | Non-surgical, individualized |
|---|---|
| Core therapies | Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes, peptides, PRP, focused shockwave |
| Goal | Relief, function, surgery alternatives |
| Imaging | Ultrasound & fluoroscopy, when needed |
What regenerative orthopedics means
Rather than defaulting to surgery, regenerative orthopedics focuses on supporting the body's own repair and signaling processes, calming irritated tissue, and restoring function. For the right patient, it can be a meaningful path to relief and an alternative to — or a way to delay — more invasive intervention.
The Wimmer toolkit
We combine several evidence-informed, in-office therapies, choosing what fits your diagnosis and goals.
- Wharton's Jelly with mesenchymal stem cells
- Exosomes
- Peptide therapy
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- Focused shockwave therapy
- Image-guided injections (ultrasound & fluoroscopy), when needed
- Hyaluronic acid ("gel shots") viscosupplementation
- Spinal decompression for neck and back pain
- Activity and maintenance planning
Honest, individualized guidance
Regenerative care is not a cure-all, and results vary. We will give you a candid assessment of what these options can and cannot do for your situation, distinguish established from investigational uses, and never overpromise. Some therapies may involve products or uses still under study, which we review with you and our compliance standards in mind.
Who it's for
Active adults seeking surgery alternatives, patients who haven't found relief from conservative care, and those who want a proactive plan to protect mobility often benefit most from a regenerative evaluation.
