Regenerative therapy
Your own platelets, bone marrow or fat, taken from you, concentrated, and delivered back into the joint to guide it toward repairing itself, instead of replacing what's worn out.
What this treats
Cartilage and joint tissue don't heal well on their own once they're worn past a point. These are the cases where regenerative therapy is usually the conversation, before or instead of the operating room.
How it works
Every course starts at the free first visit. A physician examines the joint, reviews your bloodwork, and tells you honestly whether regenerative therapy is appropriate before anything is scheduled.
Delivered directly into the affected joint. Most people are in and out within the hour, and back to normal activity the same day.
For the bone marrow and fat-derived courses, the material is taken from you the same day and concentrated before it goes back in. Nothing from a donor and nothing off a shelf.
A planned course across several sessions for more advanced cases, priced and written down in full before it starts.

Every price
Dose is set by your weight and by what is being treated, so the figure moves inside a band. It's written down in full before you book and does not move again.
Before you book
Because the dose depends on your weight and on what is being treated, so the figure sits inside a band rather than on one number. You are given your exact price in writing before you book, and a physician has to agree the therapy is appropriate for you before it is scheduled at all.
Sometimes, and a physician will tell you honestly which side of that line you're on. Regenerative therapy works best on joints that are worn or irritated, not on structural damage that genuinely needs to be repaired surgically. That distinction is exactly what the free first visit is for.
No. Everything at Giostar is paid directly, which is the reason we can print the prices at all. If a service you need is covered elsewhere, we will tell you so rather than sell you ours.
A physician examines the joint or area in question, reviews your bloodwork, and tells you whether regenerative therapy is appropriate. If it is, you leave with a written price for exactly what was discussed. Nothing is charged at that visit.
The knee you were told needs surgery might just need the right medicine.
