Regenerative Treatment Options
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Injected directly into the damaged tendon using ultrasound precision
- Autologous, growth factor-rich healing in 75-85% of patients
- Elite athletes in Los Angeles resume activity within 8-12 weeks, with a 91% satisfaction rate
Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
- Harvested from your own bone marrow, processed in-house in Beverly Hills
- Supports advanced tendon remodeling, better collagen alignment, and increased strength
- Clinical evidence shows MSCs outperform PRP for structural reinforcement
Both treatments are outpatient, minimally invasive, and performed with real-time imaging for comfort and accuracy–reflecting our commitment to precision and patient peace of mind.

What Is Patellar Tendonitis and Why Choose Regenerative Care?
Patellar tendonitis, also known as jumper’s knee, causes persistent pain just below the kneecap–common among athletes in Santa Monica, Brentwood, and West Hollywood. Rather than resorting to surgery or long-term NSAIDs, our Beverly Hills practice offers regenerative care using ultrasound‑guided PRP and stem cell injections to encourage your body to heal naturally, without disrupting daily life.
Evidence-Based Outcomes
- 75-85% of patients return to full activity within 3-4 months
- 91% satisfaction ratings one year post-treatment among our Los Angeles clientele
- Peer-reviewed trials confirm MSCs deliver superior structural tendon improvements at 6-12 months compared to PRP alone
