Joint Pain Treatment in Murray, Utah

Joint pain can stem from multiple causes, including:

• Osteoarthritis (cartilage degeneration)
• Tendon or ligament injuries
• Repetitive strain
• Old sports injuries
• Bursitis or synovitis
• Meniscus or labral tears
• Post-surgical inflammation or stiffness

We treat all major joints: knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, ankles, wrists, and spine.

Unlike steroid injections or pain pills, regenerative therapies stimulate your body’s own repair systems. They work to reduce inflammation, encourage tissue regrowth, and restore stability in your joints.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is created from your own blood. After separating the platelets in a centrifuge, we inject them into the damaged joint under ultrasound guidance.
These platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and improve lubrication.
PRP is ideal for:

• Early-to-moderate arthritis
• Tendon and ligament injuries (e.g., rotator cuff, tennis elbow)
• Chronic joint swelling

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting a natural irritant (like dextrose) into ligament or tendon attachments to stimulate local inflammation and healing.
It’s ideal for:

• Joint instability
• Ligament laxity
• Chronic tendon pain
  Over time, prolotherapy strengthens connective tissue, helping joints become more stable and less painful.

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M)

A2M is a protective protein found in your blood that blocks enzymes that break down cartilage, especially in arthritic joints.
We concentrate A2M from your own blood and inject it into the joint to:

• Protect existing cartilage
• Slow arthritis progression
• Reduce enzymatic destruction

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are nanoparticles secreted by stem cells that contain healing signals like RNA, proteins, and growth factors.
They tell your own cells to reduce inflammation and regenerate tissue, often leading to improved joint function and pain relief.
Great for:

• Advanced arthritis
• Joint degeneration with poor blood flow
• Long-term chronic joint pain unresponsive to other therapies

At American Wellness, you won’t receive a one-size-fits-all injection. Instead, we provide:

• Advanced diagnostic imaging (ultrasound or X-ray)
• Real-time guided injections for precision
• Integrated care plans that may combine therapies (e.g., PRP + ozone + prolotherapy)

We often see best results from combination therapies where inflammation is managed (A2M), structure is rebuilt (PRP), and stability is restored (prolotherapy).

Who Is a Candidate for Regenerative Joint Therapy?

You may be a good candidate if:

• You've been told you need joint surgery but want to avoid or delay it.
• You’ve had cortisone shots with short-term relief only.
• You have osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or a joint injury.
• You prefer a natural, minimally invasive option for healing.

We treat active adults, seniors, athletes, and those recovering from joint procedures.

What to Expect

Step 1: Consultation‍

We review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and evaluate your joint with diagnostic imaging.

Step 2: Treatment Plan‍

We recommend one or more regenerative therapies customized to your joint, lifestyle, and goals.

Step 3: In-Office Procedure‍

Most injections are quick and done in under 30 minutes. No general anesthesia or long recovery required.

Step 4: Recovery & Results‍

You'll begin to feel gradual improvements over several weeks. Follow-up treatments may be recommended for optimal healing.
