Non-Surgical Regenerative Medicine for Orthopedic Injuries, Arthritis, and Sports Medicine

At Lendermon Sports Medicine in Collierville, TN, Dr. Laura Lendermon specializes in advanced Regenerative Medicine treatments that harness your body’s own healing abilities. Instead of masking symptoms with medications or resorting to invasive surgery, regenerative therapies like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell Therapy aim to repair and restore damaged tissues at the source.

Whether you’re an athlete recovering from injury, or someone looking to avoid joint replacement surgery, regenerative medicine provides innovative options to help you get back to the sports or daily activities that keep you healthy and happy.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing field of orthopedics and sports medicine focused on repairing tissues and restoring function. By using your body’s own cells, growth factors, and healing proteins, these treatments work with the natural healing process to:

• Reduce pain and inflammation

• Promote long-term healing

• Improve or repair damaged tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bone or cartilage

• Improve mobility and function without surgery

Unlike traditional treatments that primarily address symptoms, regenerative medicine targets the underlying cause of pain and dysfunction.

Why Consider Regenerative Medicine Instead of Surgery?

Many orthopedic conditions—such as arthritis, tendon tears, and sports injuries—have traditionally been treated with surgery when conservative care fails. But surgery often involves:

• Long recovery times

• Higher risks of complications

• Rehabilitation that may take months

Regenerative medicine offers a non-surgical alternative that may help patients heal faster, with fewer risks and downtime. In many cases, it may also delay or prevent the need for joint replacement surgery.

Regenerative Medicine Options at Lendermon Sports Medicine

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP uses a patient’s own platelets, concentrated through a centrifuge, to deliver growth factors directly to injured or arthritic tissues. This treatment stimulates repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells collected from your own bone marrow or fat tissue can regenerate damaged tissue and restore joint health. This advanced therapy is especially effective for arthritis and chronic injuries.

Sports Medicine and Regenerative Care

Athletes at all levels—professional, collegiate, and recreational—turn to regenerative medicine for faster recovery and stronger healing. Common sports injuries treated with PRP and stem cells include:

• Rotator cuff injuries

• Meniscus tears

• Ligament sprains (ACL, MCL, ankle sprains)

• Tendinitis (Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow)
