Straight answers about what treatment can and can't do, and a team that listens. Individual results vary.
“After struggling to find success with post-surgical stiffness and pain in my ankle, their treatments worked wonders. I now don't think about my ankle at all while I run, ski, hike, play basketball, and play tennis.”
“The team is so knowledgeable, caring, and thorough with all aspects of your visit. They are completely honest, instead of giving you false expectations. The client education is top notch!”
“They look at you as a whole to get to the root of the problem instead of just pinpoint treating where you think hurts… I felt heard, seen, and valued as a person.”
Frequently asked
Cost, candidacy, recovery, and other common questions. If yours isn't here, ask us at consultation.
See all FAQs →Most insurance plans don't currently cover autologous biologic therapies: this is a patient-pay practice. We discuss the cost with you when you book your service, supply documentation for HSA / FSA reimbursement where applicable, and never bill you for anything that wasn't discussed up front.
PRP uses concentrated platelets and growth factors from your blood. BMAC uses MSC-containing material from your bone marrow. PRP is the first-line tool for many tendon and mild-to-moderate joint conditions; BMAC is typically considered when disease is more advanced or when subchondral bone is involved.
Procedures are performed in-clinic under local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance. Most patients report mild post-procedural soreness for 24 to 72 hours. An oral sedative is available for bone marrow aspiration if you ask for it ahead of time.
Candidacy depends on your imaging, condition stage, prior treatments, and overall health. Every patient is evaluated by Dr. Glowney before any procedure is offered. We'll tell you honestly whether biologics fit your case or whether another path makes more sense.
Biological response varies. When improvement comes, it is usually gradual, over 4 to 12 weeks. We schedule follow-up at 6 and 12 weeks to check your progress, and results depend on the stage of your condition and how your body responds.
