Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine represents an evolving area of musculoskeletal treatment. Dr. Bernton's clinical practice has included evaluation and non-operative treatment of spinal injury, as well as evaluation and treatment of patients with regenerative medicine modalities including PRP and stem cell exosomes.

PRP therapy concentrates the growth factors and healing proteins found in a patient's own blood and delivers them directly to the site of injury or degeneration. This approach has shown promise for conditions including tendinopathy, osteoarthritis, and ligament injuries. Stem cell exosome therapy utilizes cell-derived signaling molecules to promote tissue repair and modulate inflammation at the cellular level.

Peripheral joint injections and trigger point injections remain valuable tools for targeted pain relief and functional restoration. Dr. Bernton performs these procedures using precise anatomical knowledge to address specific pain generators. Treatment plans are developed on an individualized basis, with clear discussion of the current evidence and expected outcomes.
