Regenerative medicine is revolutionizing the way we treat pain, injuries, and chronic conditions — yet it’s still surrounded by plenty of myths and misconceptions. At the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at HyperCharge Health, Dr. Louis C. Saeger and his team are committed to setting the record straight so you can make informed decisions about your health.
Here are five common myths about regenerative medicine — and the truth behind them.
Myth #1: Regenerative Medicine Is Just a Fad
Truth: Far from being a passing trend, regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing field backed by decades of scientific research. Therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell treatments have been successfully used worldwide to promote healing in joints, tendons, muscles, and more. Patients experience real, lasting results — and the technology keeps advancing every day.
Myth #2: It’s Only for Athletes
Truth: While regenerative treatments are popular among athletes recovering from sports injuries, they’re not limited to elite performers. Anyone suffering from chronic pain, arthritis, tendon injuries, or nerve damage can benefit — whether you’re a weekend warrior or simply want to improve your quality of life.
Myth #3: Surgery Is Always Better
Truth: Surgery may be necessary in some cases, but regenerative medicine offers a non-surgical alternative with fewer risks, less downtime, and fewer side effects. By harnessing your body’s own healing powers, these treatments often reduce pain and improve function without the complications that surgery can bring.
Myth #4: Regenerative Medicine Is Experimental and Unsafe
Truth: Many regenerative therapies, including PRP and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), have been studied extensively and are FDA-allowed for use in musculoskeletal conditions. When performed by an experienced provider like Dr. Saeger using precise imaging guidance, these treatments are safe and well-tolerated.
Myth #5: Results Are Instant
Truth: Regenerative medicine works by stimulating your body’s natural healing, which takes time. Most patients notice gradual improvement over weeks to months as tissues repair and regenerate. This steady progress leads to more durable and long-lasting relief compared to quick-fix medications.
