If several of these apply, a regenerative medicine evaluation can help determine whether this approach is appropriate for you.
Luis Gomez, APRN, approaches regenerative medicine as part of a broader performance and longevity strategy. His approach integrates regenerative protocols with broader performance and longevity work, including hormone optimization programs and peptide therapy protocols, when clinically appropriate.
Treatment is not based on a single symptom. It is based on your full clinical picture, including movement patterns, recovery capacity, and overall health.
Every patient begins with a detailed evaluation. Treatment is only recommended when there is a clear rationale.
Stem cell therapy is a category of regenerative medicine that uses biologically active materials to support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes.
At Stellar Performance Medical, regenerative protocols may incorporate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cellular products derived from Wharton’s Jelly and perinatal tissue. These therapies contain growth factors, cytokines, and other signaling components that interact with the local tissue environment.
Rather than simply addressing symptoms, regenerative therapies are designed to support the body’s response to injury, inflammation, and tissue stress over time.
When delivered through precise, ultrasound-guided injections, these therapies may help:
When appropriate, regenerative therapy may also be coordinated with peptide therapy, hormone optimization, and other performance-focused treatments as part of a broader recovery strategy.
Patients typically pursue regenerative therapy to improve function, not just manage symptoms.
Common goals include:
Most patients begin noticing changes within several weeks, with continued improvement over time. Outcomes vary based on the condition being treated and overall health.
Regenerative medicine tends to work best in specific clinical situations.
You may be a good candidate if you:
You may not be a candidate if you:
Candidacy isn’t determined by a checklist. A consultation with Luis Gomez, APRN, is the only reliable way to determine whether you’re a clinical candidate. Schedule yours here.

Your first visit includes a detailed review of your history, symptoms, prior treatments, and any imaging.
If additional diagnostics are needed, they’re ordered at this stage. The goal is to confirm whether regenerative therapy is the right fit before any treatment is considered.

If you’re a candidate, your protocol is built around your specific condition, treatment area, and goals.
You’ll receive clear preparation guidance, including activity considerations and what to expect on treatment day.

Treatment is performed in the office and typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area and protocol.
Discomfort is generally minimal. Most patients return to light activity the same day, with a gradual return to full activity based on the treatment plan.

Progress is monitored over the following weeks.
A follow-up visit is typically scheduled around 4 to 6 weeks to assess response and determine whether additional support — such as physical therapy or adjunct protocols — is appropriate.
Most patients report gradual improvement between 4 and 12 weeks.

Stem cell therapy is a cash-pay service. Pricing varies depending on:
We review all costs during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
For patients exploring a broader performance and longevity plan, treatment may be coordinated with a medical weight-loss program or hormone therapy — ask about combination protocols during your evaluation.
Regenerative therapies introduce biological signaling agents — growth factors, cytokines, and cellular components derived from targeted sources — into damaged tissue. These agents modulate local inflammation, communicate with surrounding cells, and support the structural repair processes that chronic injury or degeneration has disrupted. The body does the healing; the therapy provides the biological environment to do it more effectively.
The FDA regulates cellular and tissue-based products under specific guidelines. Not all regenerative products are FDA-cleared for all applications, and regulatory status varies by product type and indication. Luis Gomez, APRN, uses only products and protocols that comply with applicable FDA frameworks. Your consultation will include a clear explanation of the specific therapy being recommended and its regulatory standing.
Many patients see clinically meaningful results from a single treatment session, though some conditions benefit from a follow-up protocol. The number of sessions depends on the severity of the condition, the treatment site, and your body’s response. Luis Gomez, APRN, will outline the recommended protocol — including the likelihood of follow-up treatments — during your evaluation.
Regenerative therapies work over weeks, not days. Most patients begin to notice improvement in pain levels and range of motion within 4 to 8 weeks of treatment, with continued progress through 12 weeks and beyond. Timelines vary based on the condition treated, tissue status, and individual biology. Realistic expectations are discussed in detail before treatment begins.
Yes, and for many patients, this combination approach produces better outcomes. Regenerative therapy pairs well with physical rehabilitation, specific peptide therapy protocols, and — when clinically appropriate — hormone optimization programs that support systemic tissue health. Your treatment plan is designed to integrate all relevant therapies rather than treating each as isolated.
