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.

Complementary Treatments
In addition to regenerative injections, we incorporate evidence-based complementary therapies to enhance recovery and long-term hip function:
- 1-on-1 Physical Therapy – Work directly with a licensed physical therapist to strengthen and re-educate muscles of the hip. This neuromuscular reprogramming helps restore movement patterns and reduce reinjury risk.
- Nutritional Therapy & Supplements – Proper nutrition supports the healing of connective tissue. We offer personalized supplement protocols and dietary guidance to optimize collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and improve overall recovery.
- Giga Laser Therapy – Our Giga Laser, one of the most powerful therapeutic lasers in the world, delivers high-dose red and infrared light therapy over large areas. This boosts mitochondrial activity and promotes rapid tissue healing and collagen formation.

Thank you again for your kind words.
We’re thrilled to hear that your ozone intradiscal treatment combined with lysated platelet (PRP) epidural injections helped you avoid a major back surgery and a prolonged recovery. At Integrative Rehab Medicine, we love helping patients with herniated and bulging discs find effective, non-surgical alternatives to spine surgery.
Your outcome highlights the power of biologic and regenerative spine treatments—using ozone to reduce disc inflammation and herniation, along with platelet-based therapies to support healing around irritated spinal nerves. We’re also glad to hear your experience with Kristine, our physical therapist, has complemented your recovery.
Thank you again for your words and confidence in our team.
While Discseel® can be an excellent option for certain patients, we’re glad you found success with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and prolotherapy—two powerful non-surgical treatments designed to reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and improve spinal stability. As you experienced, biologic spine treatments often require patience, with healing occurring over weeks to months, but the long-term improvement can be life-changing.
We’re especially happy to hear that you’re now pain-free and that movements which once caused months of setback now result in only brief, mild discomfort. That kind of functional recovery is exactly what we aim for at Integrative Rehab Medicine.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and are honored to be part of your long-term spine health.
Thank you Integrative Rehab Medicine for changing my life
It’s wonderful to see your body responding and healing after so many years. Thank you for trusting us with your care!
We appreciate you sharing your experience and are honored to be part of your recovery journey!
He has gotten me out of a bedbound life.
He does even better when Bruce Hornsby is playing during the session 😁
Two months post-procedure, my lower back pain has improved by approximately 95%. Although I still have four months remaining in my recovery timeline, I already feel like a new person. I am now able to sleep comfortably, drive, and sit for extended periods without experiencing persistent discomfort or pain.
I highly recommend scheduling an MRI review to determine whether this procedure may be appropriate for individuals suffering from sciatica, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, or other spinal issues. This technique represents a remarkable advancement in treatment.
