Patient Testimonials
“The regenerative therapy at Johnson Medical Center has been a revelation for me and my family. I’m now participating in activities I never thought possible—I’m pain-free and truly back to enjoying life!”
“Amazing!!!! My son has suffered back pain from a car accident for 5 years. My son is 23 and his spine has scar tissue, bulging discs etc. Dr. Johnson recommended Regenerative Therapy and PRP injections together with chiropractic care and physical and IV therapy. It has been about 6 weeks and the improvements are amazing. He is no longer in constant pain and is much more flexible and able to work. Although the Regenerative Therapy is quite expensive and not covered by our insurance. It has been 100% worth every penny to see how much Dr Johnson has helped him. We are looking forward to seeing how he improves over the next few months. Highly recommend.”
“I was skeptical about stem cell therapy, but now I’m a true believer. The stem cell injections, combined with the physical medicine treatments, were the perfect solution. I had tried everything before coming to Johnson Medical Center with no relief for my back pain. Now, my pain is nearly gone, and I’m back to playing golf and pickleball! Thank you to the entire team at Johnson Medical Center for giving my life back.”“Combining physical therapy with regenerative medicine has effectively managed my lower back pain—without the need for medication or surgery.”
“Thanks to Johnson Medical Center’s approach to sciatica, I was able to return to work without needing surgery or heavy medications that other doctors had recommended. I’m incredibly grateful to my neighbor for referring me here—their treatments truly made a difference.”
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the best treatment for lower back pain?
The optimal treatment varies based on the underlying cause of your pain. At Johnson Medical Center, we focus on regenerative therapies such as stem cell injections, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and A2M. These non-surgical, drug-free options aim to heal the root cause of your pain, offering a viable alternative to opioids, epidural injections, or invasive surgery.
Is regenerative medicine effective for back pain?
Yes, regenerative medicine has shown promising results for conditions like disc degeneration, facet joint pain, herniated discs, and chronic inflammation. By stimulating your body’s natural healing processes, these treatments can reduce inflammation and repair damaged tissues, leading to decreased pain and improved mobility without the reliance on long-term medications.
How does regenerative therapy differ from pain medications or cortisone shots?
Pain medications and cortisone injections typically provide temporary relief by masking symptoms or reducing inflammation without addressing the underlying issue. In contrast, regenerative treatments like stem cell therapy and PRP target the root cause of pain, promoting tissue repair and offering longer-lasting results without the risks associated with pharmaceuticals or steroids.
What types of back pain can regenerative therapy help with?
Regenerative therapies are particularly beneficial for:
- Chronic lower back pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated discs
- Facet joint pain
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Postural or mechanical pain
If traditional treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medications have been ineffective, you may be a strong candidate for regenerative care.
Are these treatments covered by insurance?
Currently, most regenerative treatments are not covered by insurance plans. Many patients opt to pay out-of-pocket to pursue natural healing methods and avoid the long-term costs and risks associated with surgery or medications. We provide transparent pricing and will discuss all costs with you to help determine if this investment in your health aligns with your goals.
How can I determine if I’m a good candidate for regenerative therapy?
If you experience chronic or recurring lower back pain and wish to avoid surgery or medications, regenerative therapy may be suitable for you. Our team conducts comprehensive evaluations, including imaging and functional assessments, to determine if treatments like stem cell therapy, PRP, or A2M are appropriate for your condition.
Can stem cell therapy really help with chronic lower back pain?
Yes, it can address the root cause by regenerating tissues, reducing inflammation, promoting healing and improving function.
How long does it take to see results from these treatments?
Results vary, but improvements are often noticeable within weeks to months.
Do I need surgery for my lower back pain?
We prioritize non-surgical options first, and many patients find relief without surgery.
Is the treatment painful?
Treatments are designed to be as pain-free as possible, with pain management integrated into our approach.
How often do I need to come for treatments?
Frequency depends on your condition, but we generally start with more sessions, reducing as progress is made.

Yes, combining therapies often leads to more comprehensive outcomes, addressing both cause and symptom.
