Published Research Papers

We have more than a decade’s worth of data on our procedures. Because of our long history in the field and commitment to research, Regenexx® has more data than any of our peers. We analyze and report on outcome data from our patient registry on a regular basis and publish our findings in medical journals for our peers and patients to learn more about this growing practice.
