Regenerative Medicine
Chronic pain, joint degeneration, and soft tissue injuries don’t have to mean surgery or a lifetime of medication. At Burghealth Physical Medicine, Dr. Samuel Richards and his team provide advanced regenerative medicine therapies that stimulate your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Unlike conventional treatments that only mask symptoms, regenerative medicine targets the root cause of pain and dysfunction, promoting long-term relief, improved mobility, and restored function.
If you’ve been told surgery is your only option, or if you’ve tried everything else without success, regenerative medicine may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Human Acellular Tissue Therapy
Regrow. Rebuild. Repair.
One of the most advanced options in regenerative medicine is human acellular tissue therapy, which uses biologic material derived from the Wharton’s jelly of ethically donated umbilical cord tissue. This material is rich in compounds that promote healing and regeneration at the cellular level.
Key healing components include:
- Growth factors – Stimulate tissue repair
- Cytokines – Calm inflammation and regulate healing
- Hyaluronic acid – Improve joint cushioning and lubrication
- Extracellular vesicles (including exosomes) – Enhance cell communication and repair
- Collagen and structural proteins – Support and strengthen damaged tendons, ligaments, and cartilage
When injected into the affected area—whether it’s a worn-down knee joint, a damaged tendon, or a degenerative disc—these compounds encourage tissue regeneration from the inside out.
Human acellular tissue therapy is ideal for patients with long-term injuries or chronic joint damage who want to avoid joint replacement surgery or repeated steroid injections. It’s safe, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Harness the healing power within you.
PRP therapy is another powerful regenerative treatment. It’s natural, minimally invasive, and uses your body’s own blood to jumpstart the repair process. PRP is especially effective for tendon and ligament injuries, joint inflammation, and soft tissue healing.
The PRP process works like this:
- Blood Draw – A small sample of your blood is collected in-office.
- Centrifuge Processing – The sample is spun to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
- Targeted Injection – The PRP serum is precisely injected into the injured or inflamed area, stimulating repair and reducing pain.
PRP promotes faster recovery, improved joint function, and decreased inflammation—without the risks of surgery or the side effects of long-term medications.
