A large private orthopaedic and sports medicine group around Cincinnati whose regenerative service offers platelet, bone marrow and fat-derived injections, including Regenexx procedures.
Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine is an established private orthopaedic group with more than twenty sites across greater Cincinnati and Dayton in Ohio, plus northern Kentucky and Indiana. Regenerative medicine, which the group prefers to call orthobiologics, is one service line within a conventional orthopaedic practice that also does surgery, physiotherapy and imaging. That context matters for a patient comparing options: the same group can offer a surgical opinion and a non-surgical injection opinion, rather than only the latter.
The orthobiologics pages name several distinct treatments. Platelet injections use platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated from a sample of the patient's own blood). Bone marrow concentrate uses cells taken from the patient's own bone marrow. Adipose or fat-derived cell therapy is described as using an Arthrex processing system on the patient's own fat tissue. The group also lists perineural injection treatment and neural prolotherapy, both injections of dextrose solution aimed at irritated nerves and connective tissue, and extracorporeal pulse activated technology (EPAT), a shock wave treatment that involves no injection at all.
Beacon describes itself as the region's exclusive provider of Regenexx treatments, a commercial network of orthopaedic practices using a shared set of bone marrow and platelet protocols. The site says candidates go through a screening process and physical examination and that their case is compared against outcome records held in the Regenexx database, and it links to documents on results for knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, hand and spine work. It also states that its laboratory isolates ten to twenty times more stem cells than an automated centrifuge, and that fat tissue contains a far higher number of reparative cells than other tissues. These are claims made by the provider and are reported here rather than verified.
The pages reviewed name a number of clinicians who offer these treatments, with the Regenexx service pointed specifically at Dr John Brannan for spine problems and Dr Emily Dixon for limb joints, each with a direct telephone number. Nothing on the pages reviewed states prices or explains what insurance will cover, which is the obvious question given that orthobiologic injections are usually self-funded even inside an insured orthopaedic practice. A prospective patient should ask for that split in writing.
The conditions named are orthopaedic, covering large joints, tendons and the spine.
The site states that its cell treatments use the patient's own tissue - either bone marrow or fat - processed in its own laboratory and injected into the affected joint, tendon or spinal structure.
The orthobiologics pages say around a dozen of the group's physicians offer these treatments; those named on the pages reviewed are listed below.
Beacon operates as a multi-site private orthopaedic group with more than twenty locations across greater Cincinnati and Dayton, northern Kentucky and Indiana, so the injection service sits inside a practice that also provides surgery, rehabilitation and imaging. The site refers to processing cells in its own laboratory rather than relying solely on an automated bedside centrifuge, which suggests a dedicated processing facility, but it does not say where that laboratory is, how it is staffed, or whether it holds any accreditation. The pages reviewed do not say which of the group's sites offer the Regenexx procedures, and separate Regenexx network listings point to sites at Summit Woods and Kenwood in Ohio. Languages spoken are not stated.
The pages reviewed publish no prices and make no statement about insurance cover for the orthobiologic treatments. Since the group also provides insured orthopaedic care, a prospective patient should ask specifically which parts of the pathway - consultation, imaging, the injection itself, follow-up - are billed to insurance and which must be paid privately, and get a written quotation before agreeing to treatment.
