Take our quick Wellness Assessment Survey below to discover your path to natural healing.
Regenerative medicine represents a breakthrough approach that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities rather than simply masking symptoms.
At Naturopathic Clinic of Phoenix, we specialize in treatments that stimulate your body’s repair mechanisms to restore damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term healing.
Unlike conventional treatments that often focus only on pain management, our regenerative medicine injections address the root cause of your discomfort.
This holistic approach works with your body’s innate intelligence to relieve symptoms and potentially resolve the underlying condition for lasting wellness.
Many of our patients come to us after years of temporary fixes and medications that never quite solved their problems.
Regenerative medicine offers a different path that could transform your health journey.
Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of regenerative injection therapies, each customized to address your specific health concerns:
Stem Cell Therapy: These remarkable cells are your body’s natural repair system.
Our stem cell injections deliver powerful healing cells directly to damaged areas. There, they can transform into the specific cell types needed for repair while releasing compounds that reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Ideal for chronic joint pain, autoimmune conditions, and complex inflammatory disorders.
Stem Cell Infusions: For widespread conditions like autoimmune disorders, Lyme disease, or multi-joint osteoarthritis, our stem cell infusions deliver these healing cells throughout your body.
Patients often report significant reductions in system-wide inflammation, improved energy, and enhanced quality of life.
Prolotherapy: This regenerative technique triggers your body’s natural healing response through targeted injections that stimulate controlled inflammation.
This increases blood flow to areas with poor circulation (like tendons and ligaments), bringing vital healing factors to tissues that typically struggle to repair themselves.
Particularly effective for joint instability and chronic ligament/tendon injuries.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): PRP concentrates platelets and growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration, using healing components from your own blood.
This accelerates healing, reduces pain, and helps restore function to damaged areas without medications or surgery.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): Rich in your body’s own stem cells and growth factors, BMAC represents one of the most potent regenerative treatments available.
Harvested from your pelvic bone and processed to isolate the healing elements, BMAC can dramatically accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
Amniotic Tissue Products: These specialized treatments utilize the unique healing properties of amniotic tissues to reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration, offering relief for osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain.
Living with chronic pain or inflammation doesn’t have to be normal.
Our regenerative medicine treatments have helped patients with a wide range of conditions find relief and restored function:

– Runner’s knee
– Golfer’s/tennis elbow
Many of our patients had been told surgery was their only option or that they would need to manage their pain with medications indefinitely.
Regenerative medicine offers an alternative path to healing that addresses the source of your pain rather than just masking symptoms.
Your healing journey begins with understanding exactly what to expect during your regenerative medicine treatment:
Initial Consultation:
Your path starts with a comprehensive evaluation, during which we’ll discuss your health history, current symptoms, and goals.
We’ll review any previous treatments you’ve tried and determine if regenerative medicine is right for you.
This is also your opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns.
Preparation:
Depending on your treatment type, we may recommend temporarily discontinuing certain medications or supplements that could interfere with healing.
For optimal results, we’ll provide guidance on nutrition and hydration before your procedure.
The Procedure Day:
Most regenerative treatments take 30-60 minutes in our comfortable Phoenix clinic.
We’ll first collect and process these materials for treatments using your own blood or bone marrow.
When necessary, we use precise imaging guidance to deliver the regenerative components exactly where they’re needed for maximum effectiveness.
Recovery:
One of the benefits of regenerative treatments is minimal downtime.
Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for a short period.
Some patients experience mild soreness at the injection site – a positive sign that healing has begun.
Follow-Up Care:
Your healing doesn’t end with the injection.
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan.
Many patients experience gradual improvement over the weeks following treatment as their body’s natural healing processes are enhanced.
Unlike surgery, regenerative medicine treatments involve no hospital stays, general anesthesia, or lengthy rehabilitation periods.
It’s an outpatient procedure that allows you to return to your life quickly while your body heals.
When you choose regenerative medicine at our Phoenix clinic, you’re selecting a treatment approach with numerous advantages over conventional options:
Natural Healing Enhancement: Rather than introducing foreign substances, regenerative treatments amplify your body’s own healing mechanisms.
This means fewer side effects and more natural, long-lasting results.
Minimally Invasive Approach: Avoid the risks, pain, and recovery time associated with surgery.
Our regenerative injections require only a needle – no incisions, no general anesthesia, and virtually no downtime.
Reduced Dependency on Medications: Many of our patients significantly reduce or eliminate their need for pain medications, avoiding potential side effects and dependency issues.
Addressing Root Causes: Instead of masking symptoms, regenerative medicine targets the underlying tissue damage or dysfunction, creating the potential for true healing rather than temporary relief.
Long-Lasting Results: While individual responses vary, many patients enjoy sustained improvements for years after treatment, especially when combined with appropriate lifestyle modifications.
Whole-Body Benefits: Particularly with stem cell therapies, patients often report improvements beyond the treated area – including better sleep, increased energy, and enhanced overall well-being.
Potential to Avoid Surgery: For many conditions traditionally requiring surgical intervention, regenerative medicine offers a non-surgical alternative that can deliver comparable or superior long-term outcomes.
As one patient shared: “After months of unbearable neck pain from a herniated disc, I found Dr. Hendricks. Seven weeks after treatment, my pain has virtually disappeared. I’m back to washing my car, doing yoga twice weekly, and strength training – activities I thought might be gone forever.”
Each area of your body has unique structures and healing challenges.
Our regenerative approaches are tailored to address these specific needs:
Knee Regenerative Treatments:
Your knees endure tremendous stress daily, making them vulnerable to injuries and early degeneration.
Our specialized knee injections target the specific structures affected, whether the meniscus, ligaments, or cartilage surfaces.
Patients with knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, or chronic tendonitis often experience significant pain reduction and improved mobility after treatment.
Hip Regenerative Solutions:
Hip pain can severely limit your activities and quality of life.
Our precision-guided hip injections deliver regenerative components directly to damaged joint tissues or surrounding structures.
This approach has helped many patients avoid or delay hip replacement surgery while regaining pain-free movement.
Shoulder Regeneration:
The shoulder’s complex anatomy and extreme mobility present unique treatment challenges.
Our tailored shoulder treatments address rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, and arthritic changes with precision-targeted injections that promote healing in these specialized tissues.
Spine and Back Treatments:
Back pain can be debilitating and complex.
Our regenerative spine treatments can address herniated discs, facet joint pain, and degenerative conditions by delivering healing components directly to these hard-to-reach areas, potentially providing relief where other treatments have failed.
Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Therapy:
Whether you’re suffering from tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, or arthritis in the small joints of your hands, our specialized treatments for these intricate structures can help restore function and reduce the pain that interferes with daily activities.
Ankle and Foot Solutions:
From plantar fasciitis to ankle sprains and arthritis, our customized foot and ankle treatments address the unique challenges of these weight-bearing structures, which are crucial to your mobility and independence.
Each treatment is precisely delivered using specialized techniques to ensure the regenerative components reach where they’re most needed for optimal healing.
Phoenix has emerged as a leading destination for regenerative medicine, offering unique advantages for patients seeking these advanced treatments:
Advanced Medical Community: Phoenix’s medical community embraces innovative approaches while maintaining rigorous standards.
Our city attracts practitioners who are at the forefront of regenerative medicine research and application.

At the Naturopathic Clinic of Phoenix, we combine regenerative and complementary therapies for comprehensive healing.
Year-Round Healing Environment: Phoenix’s climate provides an ideal setting for recovery, with abundant sunshine and comfortable temperatures that encourage beneficial outdoor activity during healing.
Expertise in Activity-Related Conditions: As an active community, Phoenix practitioners have developed specialized expertise in treating conditions that affect hikers, golfers, tennis players, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
Personalized Care Approach: Unlike large medical centers where you might feel like just another patient, our Phoenix clinic offers individualized attention and customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and health goals.
Focus on Education and Empowerment: We believe in helping you understand your condition and treatment options. Our approach emphasizes patient education so you can make informed decisions about your health.
When you choose regenerative medicine in Phoenix, you’re not just getting an injection – you’re gaining access to a community of health practitioners dedicated to innovative, patient-centered care that addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.
While some patients report immediate reduction in pain, most experience gradual improvement over 2-6 weeks as healing progresses. The full benefits often continue to develop for 3-6 months as your tissues regenerate and function improves.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use local anesthetics to ensure your comfort and any post-procedure soreness typically resolves within a few days. This temporary discomfort is significantly less than the pain associated with surgery or chronic conditions.
Each patient’s situation is unique. Many experience significant improvement after just one treatment, while others with more advanced conditions may benefit from a series of injections. During your consultation, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition and health goals.
Currently, most insurance companies consider many regenerative medicine treatments to be experimental, though this is changing as evidence accumulates. We offer transparent pricing and payment options to make these treatments accessible. Many patients find the long-term value outweighs the initial investment, especially when considering the costs of ongoing medications or potential surgery.
Age is not a barrier to benefiting from regenerative treatments. While your body’s healing capacity may decrease somewhat with age, the stimulation provided by these therapies can significantly enhance tissue repair regardless of age. Many of our senior patients experience remarkable improvements in pain and function.
While cortisone temporarily relieves pain by suppressing inflammation, it does nothing to heal damaged tissues and may even inhibit healing with repeated use. Regenerative treatments, in contrast, stimulate actual tissue repair and address the underlying cause of pain, potentially providing long-term solutions rather than temporary relief.
For many patients, yes. Regenerative treatments have helped numerous individuals avoid or delay surgical interventions for conditions like joint osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tears, and degenerative disc disease. Each case is unique, and we’ll give you an honest assessment of whether regenerative options are appropriate for your specific condition.
The true measure of any treatment is in the lives it transforms. Here are just a few experiences from patients who have found relief through regenerative medicine at our Phoenix clinic:
Mark from Mesa – Herniated Cervical Disc
“After suffering with unbearable neck pain from a herniated disc, I found Dr. Hendricks. Over seven weeks following treatment, my pain has virtually disappeared. For the first time in months, I was able to wash my car – one of my passions – without any pain. Now, I’m doing yoga twice weekly and strength training again. Dr. Hendricks’ knowledge and treatment truly changed my life.”
Jennifer – Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis
“After years of knee pain that kept me from hiking – my favorite activity – I was told knee replacement was inevitable. Instead, I tried stem cell therapy. Within two months, the constant ache was gone, and I’ve now returned to the trails I love, even tackling Camelback Mountain last weekend! Three years later, I’m still pain-free and active every day.”
Robert – Autoimmune Condition
“Living with an autoimmune condition meant constant fatigue and joint pain throughout my body. Daily activities became mountains to climb. After stem cell infusion therapy, the change has been remarkable. My energy has returned, my pain has decreased by about 70%, and I’ve reduced my medication significantly. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again.”
Sarah – Sports Injury
“As a tennis player, my rotator cuff tear was devastating. Surgery would have meant months away from the court and my coaching job. After PRP treatment, I was back to light playing in just weeks, and within three months, I was competing again. The difference is night and day, and I didn’t lose a season to recovery.”
These stories represent the possibilities of regenerative medicine – not just pain relief but restored function, renewed activity, and reclaimed lives.
While individual results vary, these treatments have helped numerous patients find healing where conventional approaches fell short.
