VeriSpine Joint Centers has reported a 60 percent increase in patients pursuing regenerative medicine treatments over the past 18 months at its Decatur, Georgia location, reflecting a broader shift in patient preferences away from surgical interventions for chronic pain and joint conditions.
The multidisciplinary pain management practice, which has served more than 50,000 patients since 1994, attributes the surge to growing awareness of non-surgical alternatives for managing conditions such as joint pain, arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, and chronic pain. The increase, measured from mid-2024 through late 2025, demonstrates significant patient demand for treatments that promote natural healing without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
"Patients are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional surgical approaches, and regenerative medicine offers them the opportunity to address the root causes of their pain while avoiding invasive procedures," said Dr. Fitzclarence Harper, Jr. MD, physician at VeriSpine Joint Centers. "The 60 percent increase we're seeing reflects not just a trend, but a fundamental shift in how patients want to approach their healthcare and pain management."
VeriSpine Joint Centers Decatur Regenerative Medicine treatments include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell therapy, and other advanced regenerative procedures designed to restore the body's natural healing abilities. These therapies work by harnessing the body's own healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function to affected areas.
The center's approach to Decatur Regenerative Medicine focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's specific condition and needs. Common conditions treated through regenerative medicine at the facility include degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoarthritis, SI joint pain, spinal stenosis, and various sports-related injuries.
PRP therapy, one of the most requested treatments at the center, involves extracting a patient's own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich solution into the affected area. This procedure stimulates tissue repair and accelerates the healing process. Similarly, stem cell therapy utilizes the body's regenerative cells to promote healing in damaged joints and tissues.
The increase in patient volume comes at a time when healthcare providers nationwide are recognizing the limitations of traditional pain management approaches. Many patients who previously relied on pain medication or considered surgery as their only options are now discovering that regenerative medicine can provide lasting relief without the complications associated with more invasive treatments.
