San Rafael practice of Dr Paul Handleman offering Regenexx bone marrow and platelet injection procedures for joint and spine problems, without surgery.
Advanced Regenerative Orthopedics is a small non-surgical orthopaedic practice in San Rafael, in Marin County just north of San Francisco. It is run by Dr Paul Handleman, an osteopathic physician, and is a licensed provider of Regenexx procedures — a national network of clinics that use a shared set of injection protocols and laboratory methods.
The treatments offered are all injections rather than operations. They fall into three types: bone marrow aspirate concentrate, in which marrow is drawn from the patient's pelvis and the cell fraction concentrated before being injected; platelet rich plasma (PRP), made from a sample of the patient's own blood; and platelet lysate, a related blood-derived preparation typically used around nerves and the spine. All the material comes from the patient's own body rather than from a donor.
The practice sees patients for a consultation either in person or by telehealth, and has a facility for uploading MRI scans in advance so that imaging can be reviewed before a visit. The website does not state when the practice was founded, does not list languages spoken, and does not publish prices.
The practice covers most major joints and the spine. Ask what published results exist for your specific joint and diagnosis, and what would happen if you did nothing.
All preparations described come from the patient's own body; no donor or birth tissue products are mentioned.
The clinic is at 899 Northgate Drive, Suite 400, San Rafael, California 94903, in Marin County close to Highway 101 and roughly half an hour north of San Francisco. It is an outpatient injection practice. Opening hours are not published on the site, and no year of establishment is given.
No prices are published. Neither the consultation fee nor the cost of a Regenexx procedure appears on the site. These treatments are generally not covered by insurance, so ask for a written quote covering the whole course.
