Regenerative Medicine in Katy, TX

Regenerative medicine represents the cutting edge of non-surgical pain treatment โ€” using your body's own biology to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore function.

Regenerative Medicine at Our Katy Practice

Regenerative medicine encompasses a growing category of treatments that stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms rather than simply suppressing symptoms. Unlike corticosteroids โ€” which reduce inflammation but may have neutral or negative effects on tissue structure with repeated use โ€” regenerative treatments actively promote the deposition of new collagen, extracellular matrix, and other healing proteins in damaged tissue.

Dr. Qureshi offers evidence-based regenerative treatments as part of a comprehensive, individualized pain management strategy. These treatments are especially valuable for patients with tendinopathy, early-to-moderate osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, and degenerative spinal conditions who want to address the underlying pathology rather than relying solely on pain management.

Symptoms

  • Joint pain from osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle)
  • Tendinopathy โ€” chronic tendon pain from degeneration rather than inflammation
  • Partial tendon tears (rotator cuff, Achilles, patellar, hamstring)
  • Ligament sprains and instability
  • Degenerative disc and facet joint disease
  • SI joint ligamentous laxity
  • Plantar fasciitis

Treatment Options at Our Katy Practice

Dr. Qureshi takes a multimodal, non-surgical approach to pain management. Treatment recommendations are based on your diagnosis, imaging findings, symptom severity, and prior treatment history.

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy using concentrated growth factors from your own blood
  • Ultrasound and fluoroscopic-guided precision delivery for all regenerative injections
  • Combination approaches pairing regenerative treatments with physical therapy
  • Diagnostic evaluation to confirm candidacy and expected response

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes PRP regenerative?
Platelets โ€” the blood cells responsible for clotting โ€” contain hundreds of growth factors stored in alpha granules. When activated at the injection site, these growth factors (PDGF, TGF-ฮฒ, VEGF, IGF, and others) signal local stem cells and fibroblasts to proliferate, migrate to the injury site, and synthesize new collagen and tissue matrix. This is the actual biological process of tissue repair โ€” amplified by the concentration of growth factors in PRP.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for regenerative treatment?
Good candidates typically have imaging evidence of the target pathology (tendinopathy, partial tear, or moderate arthritis), have not achieved adequate relief from conventional treatments (physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, corticosteroid injections), and do not have conditions that impair normal healing (uncontrolled diabetes, active infection, blood dyscrasia). Dr. Qureshi will review your history and imaging to determine if regenerative treatment is appropriate.
Are regenerative treatments covered by insurance?
PRP is not covered by most commercial insurers for musculoskeletal conditions and is typically a self-pay treatment. Dr. Qureshi's office provides transparent pricing and can discuss whether the expected benefit justifies the out-of-pocket cost based on your specific condition and goals.
