As we age, it’s common to notice changes in our body that affect both our appearance and overall wellness. Joint pain, thinning hair, slower recovery from injuries, and visible signs of aging are often dismissed as “just part of getting older.” But you don’t have to accept these changes as permanent. Thanks to modern regenerative medicine treatments, your body’s natural healing mechanism can be stimulated to repair diseased or damaged tissues, replace lost tissue, and restore vitality.
Dr. Alexander GolBerg is a double board-certified physician and one of the leading regenerative medicine specialists in Manhattan and Brooklyn. With over 25 years of experience and recognition as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, he offers innovative procedures including platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, platelet rich fibrin (PRF), exosomes, and stem cell therapy. Dr. GolBerg’s expertise in regenerative medicine therapies, combined with a background in functional medicine and osteopathy, makes him uniquely qualified to deliver natural, non-surgical solutions for patients seeking to restore their health and vitality.
Regenerative medicine is an advanced medical field that uses natural substances and biologics to stimulate regeneration and repair diseased or damaged tissues. By working with the body’s natural healing process, regenerative medicine treatments can restore function, improve joint function, and reduce chronic pain.
The main techniques include PRP therapy, PRF, exosomes, and stem cell therapy, each able to accelerate healing and stimulate regeneration in the injured area. Blood consists of a liquid component called plasma and three main solid components: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets play a main role in forming blood clots and releasing growth factors, special proteins that stimulate healing. By concentrating these blood components through platelet rich plasma injection or PRP treatments, physicians can deliver a high concentration of growth factors directly to damaged tissues, injured muscles, or ligament tears, which helps repair diseased and lost tissue.
Stem cell research and regenerative medicine studies continue to show promising results, with clinical trials at institutions like Weill Cornell Medicine demonstrating the potential of these therapies for orthopedic injuries, degenerative disc disease, and autoimmune conditions.
Regenerative medicine therapies offer benefits that extend far beyond temporary symptom relief. These treatments work with the body’s natural healing mechanism, restoring balance and promoting long-term improvements.
Because these treatments are non-surgical, recovery time is minimal, making them an appealing option for busy individuals looking for natural, lasting improvements.
The best candidates for regenerative medicine treatments are individuals seeking non-surgical solutions for chronic pain, aging concerns, or slow healing. Common patient concerns include joint pain, ligament tears, autoimmune conditions, thinning hair, or signs of facial aging. Regenerative medicine specialists like Dr. GolBerg carefully evaluate each patient to determine the most effective therapy, whether that includes PRP therapy, stem cell therapy derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue, or biologics like umbilical cord blood-derived exosomes.
Patients with active infections, certain blood disorders, or those who are pregnant may not be suitable candidates. Each treatment plan is personalized to maximize safety and effectiveness.
Regenerative medicine therapies can be used to treat a wide range of concerns, including:
During your consultation, Dr. GolBerg will conduct a thorough health assessment and review your medical history to identify the most effective regenerative medicine treatments for you. Preparation is simple. Maintain proper hydration, avoiding blood-thinning medications, and make a few small adjustments to daily routines based on the surgeon’s orders. Patients can expect a highly individualized consultation, with every step focused on maximizing safety, comfort, and results.
Regenerative medicine treatments are performed in-office using innovative procedures tailored to the patient’s needs. Depending on the therapy, blood may be drawn and processed to separate platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells, concentrating platelets to create PRP. In other cases, stem cells may be extracted from bone marrow or adipose tissue, or umbilical cord blood may be used. The prepared biologic is then injected directly into the injured area or targeted tissue. Platelet rich plasma injection and stem cell therapy typically take 30 to 90 minutes. A numbing agent is applied to enhance comfort throughout the procedure.
After treatment, most patients experience minimal downtime and return to normal activities right away. Results develop gradually as the body’s healing process takes effect. You’ll see improvements in skin tone, joint function, and hair restoration become more noticeable over the next several weeks to months after your treatment. For orthopedic injuries and chronic pain, patients often report improved mobility and reduced pain within weeks. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain long-term results.
Post-treatment care may include hydration, rest, and following Dr. GolBerg’s aftercare guidelines. Because regenerative medicine relies on stimulating the body’s healing process, results continue to evolve over time and can provide lasting improvements.
The cost of regenerative medicine in Manhattan and Brooklyn varies depending on the type of therapy (PRP, PRF, exosomes, stem cell therapy), treatment area, and the complexity of care needed. Each plan is customized, and pricing will be discussed transparently during your consultation. Costs typically include the procedure itself, biologic preparation, anesthesia or numbing agents if used, and follow-up care. Because regenerative medicine therapies are highly specialized and performed by Dr. GolBerg himself, patients can feel confident in the value and quality of their treatment.
