Orthopedic pain—whether from chronic conditions, sports injuries, or degenerative joint disease—used to leave many patients with limited treatment options: rest, medications, or surgery. But that’s no longer the case. Thanks to regenerative medicine, the landscape of orthopedic recovery is changing dramatically. At the California Sports & Spine Institute (CSSI), with locations in Arcadia, Glendale, and Palmdale, we specialize in non-surgical, functional, and regenerative therapies that aim to restore your body and reclaim your lifestyle—without going under the knife. Let’s explore how regenerative medicine is revolutionizing recovery and giving hope to patients suffering from pain and immobility.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine harnesses the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Instead of masking symptoms with painkillers or resorting to invasive procedures, regenerative therapies promote healing at the cellular level. This means less downtime, less risk, and longer-lasting results.

Common regenerative treatments include:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy
Exosome Therapy
Amniotic Tissue Injections

Each of these therapies is designed to reduce inflammation, support tissue regeneration, and accelerate recovery.

Why It Matters in Orthopedics

Orthopedic injuries—especially those affecting the spine, joints, ligaments, and tendons—can be complex and slow to heal. Regenerative medicine offers a more natural approach to treatment by:

Reducing inflammation without the side effects of long-term medication use
Promoting tissue repair instead of just providing pain relief
Delaying or even avoiding surgery, particularly joint replacements or spinal fusion
Helping athletes and active individuals return to performance faster and more safely

At CSSI, we often combine regenerative therapies with physical rehabilitation and interventional pain management to deliver personalized, whole-body care.

How We Use Regenerative Medicine at CSSI

Under the leadership of Dr. Maxim Moradian, CSSI is proud to be on the leading edge of orthopedic innovation. Our team has helped countless patients experience meaningful recovery through regenerative therapies—even those who were told surgery was their only option.

We specialize in conditions such as:

Chronic back and neck pain
Joint degeneration (e.g., knees, shoulders, hips)
Tendonitis and ligament injuries
Sports-related trauma
Spinal disc issues (including patients eligible for the Discseel® Procedure)

For patients with intervertebral disc injuries, we also offer the groundbreaking Discseel® Procedure—a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses biologics to seal and regenerate damaged discs.

Is Regenerative Therapy Right for You?

If you've been dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or recurring sports injuries, it may be time to explore alternatives beyond traditional care. At CSSI, our physicians conduct thorough diagnostic testing to understand the root cause of your symptoms and develop a customized treatment plan.
