Treatments, described honestly

Cell-based procedures offered to support the body's own repair processes. What they involve, what to ask, and how to find a provider whose credentials have been checked.

Evidence is early and condition-specific. Ask any provider to point you to studies for your exact situation, not to general claims.

Platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood, concentrated, and placed where tissue needs help. What the procedure involves and how to choose who performs it.

Evidence is stronger for some tendon and joint uses than others. Ask a provider for the specifics on your condition rather than a general endorsement.

Targeted injections intended to stimulate repair in ligaments, tendons, and joints. What the approach involves and what to ask before you start.

Evidence varies by condition and is still developing. Ask a provider what the research supports for your specific situation.

Short-chain amino acid protocols offered for recovery, metabolic, and longevity goals. What they are, how they are prescribed, and what to ask.

Evidence differs sharply from one peptide to another. Ask about the specific compound, not peptides in general.

Oxygen-ozone treatments offered for immune support and chronic inflammation. What they involve and why the questions below matter more than usual.

Ozone therapy is not FDA approved and evidence is limited and contested. Weigh any provider's claims carefully and ask for specifics.

Acoustic pressure waves delivered through the skin to prompt a localized repair response. What a course involves, and what separates a considered provider from a device operator.

The evidence here is comparatively stronger than for most options in this directory, but it varies sharply by condition. Ask what the research shows for yours, not for shockwave in general.
