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.

I have never left a review regarding a phone call, but there is always a first. I have called this office multiple times asking every question that comes to mind for my husband with back issues. And every time I called I have spoken to Amanda Nagle. She took all of my calls so patiently and kind answering all my questions. I was never rushed most importantly she put me at ease. I have called multiple offices finding a good fit for my husband. And I’m comfortable enough just speaking to, Amanda that this is the right place for him. If the front office “the face of the office” is like this, I know that the rest is amazing.
Anybody going through chronic pain knows the frustration. What did PRP do for me? Pain went from a 9 to a 2 and sometimes 0. Activity? Before I couldn't do anything and was in pain. After, some limitations but no lasting pain. For example, I'm jump roping and running but no load bearing above 30 pounds. It's a learning pain. PRP improved my health. At Integrative Rehab Med. they are absolutely 100% caring and professional. I am thankful for Dr. Sebastian and his professional staff!
I am currently one month removed from my procedure from Dr. Sabastian and his staff. All of my consistent pain stop. Physical therapy is continuing under there direction.

With more positive improvement coming long term my advice why wait call or visit them. Integrative Rehab Medicine is the very best non-surgical treatment of the spinal discs.

I excited about my future living without pain. Make this appointment your health will Thank you later.

The time Doctor Sebastian attended me I was in pain every day and taking anti inflammatory every 2 days, since he treated me my knee and movement change drastically at level I don’t taking any more medication he is a really master pro, for sure I’ll will see him early next year for a second treatment to keep improving my recovery thanks Doctor to came across my live 🙏🙏🙏🙏Hernan Mota
I had suffered from degenerating discs, bulging discs and arthritis in my lower back for 25 years. I initially went to Integrative Rehab Medicine as they offered DiscSeel, which I heard was a great option for me. Although I was a candidate for this, I opted for PRP and prolotherapy. My recovery was a bit longer than o hoped at 8-12 weeks but I am finally pain free and only get discomfort for a day or so with movements that may have had me down for 2 months. The care in office was wonderful with great follow ups. They also allowed my personal trainer into my physical therapy to ensure we were on the same page with my recovery. Five stars and I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your journey. We truly appreciate your trust after living with degenerative discs, bulging discs, and lumbar arthritis for more than 25 years.
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.
I’m so glad that I found Integraive Rehab Medicine and specifically Dr Sebastian. Dr Sebastian was the only doctor who provided a solution to my damaged lower back that made sense and actually worked. After six months after the procedure I can say that Dr Sebastian gave me back the ability to move pain free and enjoy life as I could at my age. He said he is sorry that he couldn’t make me young again, but he and his staff did a miracle for me.
Thank you Integrative Rehab Medicine for changing my life

My wife and I traveled from Wisconsin to get my two herniated discs in lower back treated with ozone/prp. I could not be happier with how everything went. Dr. Sebastian and his team are wonderful. From the very beginning of sending in my mri results to after the procedure was so efficient and organized. Everyone at this clinic is very informative, professional and just the nicest people to be around. Especially for me being nervous having never had any back procedures done....they made it so much easier. I am looking forward to my continued healing. You have a raving fan in Wisconsin now and I'd only come to your clinic if I ever need future procedures! Thanks to everyone that helped me!
