Why Surgery Isn’t Your Only Option
Please watch the numerous unpaid testimonials below to discover all your available options besides surgery. We like to say ‘Discover what is possible”
When you live with severe knee pain or other skeletal pain challenges, chances are that you have heard the term “bone-on-bone.” It is the term that doctors apply to Stage 4 osteoarthritis, a diagnosis that is often accompanied by the grim prognosis of Total Knee Replacement Surgery.
The everyday routine of stabbing pain, the impossibility of doing something simple like walking, gardening, golfing or playing with your grandchildren and so on can make you feel that surgery is the only possible option. You may have been told that you no longer have enough cartilage and that the only way out is to replace the joint.
Are there Regenerative Medicine Injection alternatives that you may not have heard of or considered? What would you think of being able to use the amazing power of your own body to regenerate and self-heal an injured joint or spine, without the risks, long process, cost and uncertainty of a major surgical operation?
At Kentuckiana Regenerative Medicine, we do not believe surgery should be the first approach to Stage 4 knee arthritis . Surgery should not be a first line defense for many arthritis situations, but rather a last resort. Patients seeking regenerative therapy for spine, joint, hip, shoulder and knee pain in Louisville, as well as those from across the United States and as far away as Canada and Europe, choose our clinic for its proven results.
Regenerative medicine has provided many of our patients, including those with severe cases of bone-on-bone arthritis, with an avenue of much-needed pain relief and a restoration to the life they love.
Consultations are $300 paid in advance, but FREE and credited back to you if you invest $2,500+ in your health. We do NOT sell your information and we will NOT call you to schedule an appointment. You will need to call our office to schedule your appointment in person or via Telemedicine Phone/Zoom.

Considering the Full Picture of Knee Replacement Surgery
The replacement of the knee has assisted numerous individuals, and some individuals have no other choice. Joint replacement is a large, invasive operation, and it may have some negative consequences. Although it is generally safe, it may lead to complications such as infection, blood clots, persistent post-surgical pain and sometimes memory disfunction. Surgery is often expensive with deductibles and time off from work, requires intensive physical therapy often making regenerative therapies a more affordable, practical and effective choice for many individuals since there is minimal down time.
According to medical literature, general anesthesia poses certain risks to older adults. According to one journal, as many as 60 percent of patients older than 60 years of age suffer some type of memory impairment following surgery, and in a minor percentage of instances it may be permanent. These are grave considerations that are worth considering.
And when it comes to making a permanent surgical change to your body, it is worth considering some of the most powerful, least-invasive Regenerative Medicine therapies that can help your body to self-heal.
A New Paradigm: Replacement to Regeneration.
Rather than excising and replacing a damaged joint, regenerative medicine is based on a very simple yet very radical principle of stimulating and assisting your own body to self-heal. Powerful growth factors and signaling cells are present in your body, to repair damage. We focus these powers and get them to the places where they are most needed.
This therapy does not simply cover up the pain, but rather corrects the root cause, which is to restore and repair the cartilage, ligaments, and soft tissues that are damaged and support the knee, other joints or spine.
Your Arthritis Regenerative Solutions for Severe Arthritis
Dr. Rafael F. Cruz MD has devoted his practice for the past 20 years to the highest level of the most advanced and comprehensive regenerative medicine therapies. The most effective options that we have to offer in the case of severe arthritis are as follows, depending on your particular condition and objectives:
- The Gold Standard: Personal Harvested Messenger Signaling “Stem” Cellular Therapy.
It is one of our most advanced options for severe joint degeneration. The process is to harvest your own powerful messenger signaling cells out of your adipose (fat) tissue or bone marrow or use a commercial product. These master cells are then added to our proprietary photo-energized, high volume, hyper-concentrated Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Prolozone and Prolotherapy and carefully injected into the overall structure of the knee- not only the joint space, but also into the ligaments and soft tissues around the joint. This approach offers an entire range of biological materials to decrease inflammation, alleviate pain, and support the regenerative processes of your body. Patients have had continuous benefits in many cases of 5 to 10 years or more.

Cindy Moore at 61 years old with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis x 30 years became a surgical cripple from 2 lumbar surgeries. She had what is called “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome- FBSS.” With 3 Regenerative Injection Therapy sessions 1x per week, in 4 weeks she was pain free walking 2 miles and ready for her sightseeing trip to Europe.
Joseph Williams dramatically speeds up his knee surgery healing with Regenerative Medicine Therapies.
- Hyper-Concentrated Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) using your blood
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses the healing ability of your own blood. We take a sample of your blood, and we then subject it to a special procedure to isolate the platelets which are loaded with growth factors that coordinate the process of tissue repair. Our clinic is unique in the sense that it applies multiple techniques to make your PRP more powerful. We photo-energize and hyper-concentrated your PRP, where 3-12 times more blood is collected than in the normal clinics. This allows for a greater supply of naturally occurring growth factors. The PRP injections can offer relief and better functionality of 6 months to 5+ years.

3. Hyaluronic Gel Injections offer Lubrication and Support:
Hyaluronic Gel injections are an effective and are 100% covered option of knee arthritis to individuals with Traditional Medicare [not Medicare Advantage.] This gel is often referred to as lubricating the joint and is known to cushion and decrease the friction of bone-on-bone contact that can cause a lot of pain and help increase mobility. Some studies even indicate that it may induce some cartilage growth. Hyaluronic Gel injections are 100% covered for knee arthritis by Traditional Medicare with FIVE weekly injections every 6 months. Medicare will not cover other joints at this time. However, Hyaluronic Gel injections can be used on other joints on a self-pay basis.

Hope for “Hopeless” Cases
We understand the skepticism you might feel, especially if you’ve been told your knee is “too far gone.” But we have seen results, even in some of the most advanced cases.
We’ve helped patients like Dr. Chris Rasmussen – 65 years old, who had a knee fracture and a history of meniscus surgery, avoid the operating room.
Boby Dean goes skiing after his Hyaluronic gel injections!
We’ve helped Rita Jones, an 88-year-old with severe arthritis regain her quality of life.
We’ve helped Mrs. Norcross, a 98-year-old woman with Stage 4 arthritis with a femoral condyle fracture. Her orthopedic surgeon told her she was too old and unhealthy to survive knee replacement surgery. With just 5 weekly hyaluronic gel injections, Mrs. Norcross put away her walker and navigated her 10 basement stairs again to do her favorite activity laundry after just five hyaluronic gel injections.
