PRP and Stem Cell Injections for Hip Arthritis (Osteoarthritis) offered in Estero, Florida.

Struggling with persistent stiffness, aching, or pain in your hip that makes walking, standing, or even sleeping uncomfortable?

These are common signs of hip arthritis (osteoarthritis), a degenerative joint condition that occurs when the cartilage cushioning the hip joint wears down over time.

At Integrative Rehab Medicine, we specialize in advanced non-surgical and regenerative therapies to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help restore your quality of life without relying on joint replacement surgery.

Resolve Hip Pain and Regain Your Function

Common Symptoms of Hip Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)

  • Deep aching pain in the groin or buttock
  • Stiffness, especially after rest or in the morning
  • Pain that worsens with walking, standing, or weight-bearing activities
  • Grinding, popping, or catching sensations in the hip joint
  • Limited range of motion, making it difficult to bend, cross legs, or put on shoes

What causes Hip Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)

Hip osteoarthritis develops gradually as the protective cartilage that cushions the hip joint breaks down. This leads to bone-on-bone friction, inflammation, and joint damage. Contributing factors include aging, prior hip injuries, repetitive stress from physical activity, obesity, genetics, or developmental issues such as hip dysplasia. As the condition progresses, bone spurs may form, pain increases, and hip function declines, making even simple daily tasks challenging.

Accurate Diagnosis is Key

At Integrative Rehab Medicine, we use a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify the extent of cartilage loss, inflammation, and biomechanical dysfunction. This includes:

  • Comprehensive physical examination assessing hip movement and strength
  • X-rays or MRI to identify cartilage loss, joint space narrowing, or bone changes
  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound for real-time imaging of joint structures and surrounding tissues

This allows us to tailor a comprehensive regenerative treatment plan specific to your injury and functional goals.

Contrary to popular opinion not all hip arthritis needs to be treated surgically. Many patients can be effectively treated non-surgically with regenerative injections.

Regenerative Treatment Options

We specialize in non-surgical regenerative orthopedic solutions designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and restore joint health.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – PRP contains growth factors that accelerate tissue repair. PRP injections can reduce inflammation, improve collagen remodeling, and promote long-term healing of the joint. PRP works best for more mild to moderate arthritis.
  • Stem Cell Therapy – We utilize Bone Marrow Stem Cells to support tissue regeneration and repair, particularly for more severe hip arthritis. Through the release of growth factors, stem cells regulate the local immune response, decrease inflammation and stimulate tissue growth. Stem Cells have been shown to be very effective for treating hip osteoarthritis even moderate to severe arthritis.
  • Prolotherapy – For more mild arthritis or when people are dealing with tendinosis or instability Prolotherapy can be used to strengthen the ligaments and tendons surrounding the hip to provide improved stability and reduce pain.

They have to train office staff how to deal with patients that are struggling with pains. Very rude and they never call you back when they say.they will. The doctor only cares about money , he say one thing one day write something else in the papers and the ladies tell you something else. No one knows nothing.

Knee PRP, wild terrible experience. About 10 months now, nerves still shot up through thigh, too many shots. OVERCHARGED. I had PRP with top surgeon in Ft Myers $1,200. I went to this Dr, due to cool Utube vids. Written total amount $1,530. Most exp around, you can get PRP knee shot for $700. This company charged my insurance too and got a total of $2,768. Billing Dpt in another state, it was challenging to get office mng who stated “Why did you give your insurance card.” Never had PT with them, The PT gave me paperwork in her office for exercise, it was a 5 minute appt, she was leaving for the day. Also they said ultrasound was charged to insurance, it was, they paid. That was definitely spoken about in the quote with my husband in room to the DO, Mr. Sebastian, that was the final price for all $1,530. I’m blessed that this is not about $$$, just principle, be careful. They over charged me personally $110., she could have sent this to me, lucky for you all, she didn’t. Go to a real surgeon office, get ONLY 1 shot for knee PRP, don’t get all the 10 whatever shots this dr does, deep dive this. Top Surgeon in Ft Myers, w/ 1 shot I didn’t need medicine for the shot or nitric oxide, it was a quick in & out, may have numbed w/ cold, it was quick, no aftermath from many many shots. Good luck, feel better!

I heard about discseel through researching my aches and pains on google, and was happy to see that a veteran friendly doctors office with a veteran representative is there to guide us through getting set up, and then getting to have a consultation as well over the phone…. I’m out of state , so it really helped in getting set up, and talk about the procedure and any concerns. The team at integrative rehab listens to your concerns, and also felt very taken care of, and on top of it they take care of their veterans which was definitely felt! If you are having back issues, and are a veteran I wouldn’t hesitate to have Dr. Sebastian and their team look things over to see if they can get you feeling good again! Kevin
After dealing with neck and back issues stemming from 21 years as a Naval Helicopter Aircrewman and trying multiple treatments and interventions, the Discseel procedure has been the most favorable treatment I've experienced. I was referred to Dr. Sebastian through the VA Community Care Program, and I am grateful that I was connected with him and his team. Dr. Sebastian, at Integrative Rehab Medicine, has been outstanding throughout the entire process. He is professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes. He has always addressed my questions and concerns with patience and honesty, which gave me confidence in my treatment decisions. I also want to recognize Suzanne, Floyd, Michelle, and Kristine. From my first interaction with the office through follow-up care, they have been welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They made me feel like family rather than just another patient. Their positive attitude, responsiveness, and attention to detail made every visit a pleasant experience. The procedure has provided meaningful improvement in my symptoms and quality of life. While I still have some lingering issues that I continue to work through, I am grateful for the progress I've made and for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Sebastian and his entire team. I highly recommend Dr. Sebastian and his staff at Integrative Rehab Medicine to anyone seeking treatment options for neck or back conditions.

I had a 3 year old major herniation in my L4-L5 and medium herniation in my L5-S1 discs. I tried everything - physio, chiro, decompression, but it seemed like everyone just wanted me to keep coming back and I constantly kept getting reinjured and honestly a bit fatigued. I was finally contemplating surgery because I was not able to carry out daily life. I finally found Dr. Sebastian on youtube and reached out. He was great in the initial virtual consult. Then I flew in from Canada and went for an ozone injection in both discs. That helped. A few months later I went in for discseel with exosomes, and I feel like a new person. Each time they also included the PRP along the facet joints which I am sure will have their own benefits. I stayed on top of my rehab and workouts, especially walking everyday. I am still not back to 100% but being back to 80% is still amazing considering I was having a hard time even walking, sitting, standing, or picking up my kids. Now I am back at the gym and slowly rebuilding my pre-injury strength. There are small flare ups but they go away in a day or two, and I am learning to avoid certain workouts and movements. Dr. Sebastian and his team including Michelle, Kristine, Amanda, Floyd, and a few others I didn't get the names of, have been fantastic to work with. They answered all my questions to my satisfaction, and provided the best advice I received. I also found their team had practical knowledge around back mechanics and provided me with resources the doctors I saw before were not even aware of. This was money well spent, and I would recommend it to anyone with annular tears and herniations.

I fractured a vertebrae in my neck while in the Army back in 1990 and after working as an Ironworker by trade, my neck and back were both shot. I’ve done all the things: physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage, injections and even had back surgery. After finding Dr. Klisiewicz, and having the Discseel procedure done on both my neck (4.7.26) and my back (5.13.26) I couldn’t be more pleased. The experience has been nothing short of PERFECT! Veterans have priority scheduling and they even have a veteran advocate/representative (Jason K) right there in their office to help facilitate the VA process. This made the process of getting VA approval quick and almost too easy. This procedure could be life changing for so many veterans who are suffering in pain. I encourage you to not wait and reach out today!
