Knee & Lower Limb
Meniscus Injury
A degenerative or partial meniscus tear can keep a knee swollen, catching, and painful long after the initial injury — and surgery isn't always the right answer.
Why regenerative therapy applies
For degenerative and partial tears, image-guided PRP and cellular therapy can reduce inflammation and support the healing the tissue couldn't finish on its own, often alongside a targeted rehab plan.
Are you a candidate?
Best for degenerative and partial meniscus tears. A large mechanical, locking tear may be a surgical problem — we'll tell you which one you have.
We turn patients away when the evidence says a therapy won't help. If a different path — or no treatment — serves you better, we'll say so at your consultation, before you've spent anything.

?Questions patients ask
Straight answers.
Do I need meniscus surgery?
Not always. Degenerative and partial tears often respond to regenerative treatment. A locking, mechanically unstable tear may need surgery — imaging tells us which.
Should I just wait and see if it gets worse?
Waiting is the one thing that works against you. These therapies do the most for early-to-moderate joint and tendon disease — the window where tissue can still respond. Once a joint collapses to bone-on-bone, the evidence for regeneration drops and surgery becomes the honest answer. If you're a candidate today, you may not be in two years. A free consultation gives you a clear read on where you are right now.
How much does treatment cost?
Stem cell therapy at Apex starts at $4,500 per joint (typically $4,500–$7,500); physician-performed PRP from $1,500; exosome therapy from $4,500. Stem cell protocols include PRP and a red light package in one inclusive fee. Your exact price is set at your free consultation, with HSA/FSA and financing available.
Is it covered by insurance?
No. U.S. insurers classify regenerative therapy for orthopedic and systemic conditions as investigational, so it is out of pocket. IV ketamine is usually self-pay. We keep care accessible with transparent pricing and financing.
Is it safe?
Serious adverse events are rare. The most common effects are temporary soreness or swelling for a few days. Every treatment is physician-performed under sterile, image-guided technique, and we screen candidacy carefully first.
