Stem Cell Therapy Performed by a Regenerative Medicine Physician

Dynamic Athlete provides physician-performed stem cell therapy for orthopedic injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions involving joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and supporting structures.

All stem cell procedures are personally performed by Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, a double board-certified regenerative and sports medicine physician. Clinical decision-making, biologic selection, procedural execution, and post-procedure oversight remain physician-led at every stage.

Stem cell therapy is offered as a non-surgical medical option for patients who have not achieved durable improvement with physical therapy, medications, injections, or rest and are seeking care focused on tissue health, joint preservation, and function.

Physician-Performed Stem Cell Therapy Only

All stem cell procedures at Dynamic Athlete are performed by a physician. No aspect of stem cell care is delegated to assistants, technicians, or non-physician providers.

Physician-performed care allows for accurate diagnosis, precise biologic placement using ultrasound guidance, appropriate patient selection, and ongoing medical oversight throughout the regenerative process.

Dr. Garg completed residency training at Yale and fellowship training at the American Sports Medicine Institute and has served as a team physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer. His background in orthopedic and sports medicine informs careful use of biologic therapies within accepted medical standards.

FDA-Aligned, Autologous Regenerative Care

Stem cell therapy at Dynamic Athlete follows FDA-aligned regenerative medicine standards and uses only autologous biologic tissue derived from the patient’s own body.

Procedures adhere to the following principles:

This framework prioritizes patient safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible use of biologic therapies within orthopedic care.

Why Patients Choose Stem Cell Therapy at Dynamic Athlete

Patients considering stem cell therapy often compare clinics that appear similar on the surface. What separates Dynamic Athlete is physician-led decision-making and procedural execution.

Patients choose Dynamic Athlete because:

All stem cell procedures are physician-performed
Biologic selection (Bone Marrow Aspirate or Microfragmented Adipose Tissue) is individualized based on anatomy, pathology, imaging findings, biomechanics, and patient goals
Diagnostic imaging guides candidacy and precise biologic placement
Supportive therapies such as PRP and shockwave may be used selectively when clinically appropriate
Care follows FDA-aligned, autologous regenerative medicine standards
Treatment decisions prioritize long-term tissue health and joint preservation

Conditions Treated with Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy may be appropriate for certain orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions when non-surgical treatment is desired, including:

Knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle arthritis

Post-traumatic joint pain

Chronic tendon injuries

Overuse injuries in active adults

Meniscus and labral pathology

Cartilage degeneration and joint surface wear

Ligament instability or partial ligament injury

A physician evaluation is required to determine whether stem cell therapy is appropriate for a given condition.

Choosing the Appropriate Stem Cell Source

There is no single stem cell source appropriate for every orthopedic condition. At Dynamic Athlete, biologic selection is determined through physician-led clinical judgment rather than fixed protocols.

Selection is based on factors including anatomy, tissue quality, imaging findings, biomechanics, activity level, and treatment goals.

Role of PRP and Shockwave in Supporting Stem Cell Therapy

PRP and shockwave therapy may be used selectively to support stem cell therapy when clinically appropriate. These therapies are not automatically included and are used at the discretion of the treating physician.

When used, they may help support tissue response and procedural integration.

What to Expect from Non-Surgical Stem Cell Treatment

Stem cell therapy is intended to support pain reduction, functional improvement, and tissue health. Outcomes vary based on the condition treated and individual response.

Patients typically undergo:

Stem cell therapy is not appropriate for all conditions. A physician consultation is required to determine candidacy.
