JOINTS & SOFT TISSUE
Joint pain can have many causes. A sore knee, elbow, or ankle might involve arthritis, a sprain, a tendon problem, or another injury. We’ll ask what happened, what movements hurt, and what care you’ve already tried. These examples are starting points for a conversation, not a list of conditions proven to respond to stem cell therapy.
Pain with walking, stairs, squatting, or getting out of a chair may be related to arthritis, a meniscus tear, or a ligament injury. Swelling, catching, or a knee that gives way are useful details to share. We can review your exam, imaging, and prior treatment.
Hip arthritis can cause groin pain, stiffness, or trouble walking and moving the leg. Pain at the side of the hip may have a different cause, such as a tendon problem. Tell us where you feel it and which daily activities are difficult.
Pain while reaching overhead, lifting, or sleeping on one side may come from a rotator cuff problem, arthritis, or another shoulder injury. Weakness or reduced motion can help guide the evaluation and the discussion of established care options.
Pain on the outside or inside of the elbow with gripping, lifting, or repeated work or sports motions can happen with tendon overuse, often called tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. An injury or arthritis may also need to be considered.
A fall onto the hand or a sudden twist can sprain the wrist. Pain with gripping, swelling, numbness, or a loss of strength may point to different problems, including an injury that needs prompt diagnosis. Let us know how it started and whether symptoms persist.
Rolling an ankle can stretch or tear the supporting ligaments. Ongoing swelling, pain with walking, or an ankle that repeatedly gives way deserves a closer look. Prior sprains, tendon problems, and arthritis can all affect the care plan.
An evaluation may lead to physical therapy, bracing, medication, imaging, or referral for other established care. The FDA has not approved regenerative medicine therapies for orthopedic conditions.
Ask about your joint concernSTART WITH THE DIAGNOSIS
Knee pain and osteoarthritis are common reasons people ask about injections. A consultation can also address hip, shoulder, elbow, or ankle symptoms and some tendon or ligament concerns. These are areas for evaluation, not promises that a stem cell product is effective or suitable for every condition.
Review arthritis severity, prior imaging, function, and treatments already tried.
Clarify the source of pain and whether established care or specialist referral is a better fit.
Discuss the specific diagnosis, goals, evidence, and alternatives.
INDIVIDUAL REVIEW
There is no online checklist that can establish candidacy. At NovaGenix, Dr. Mackey will review your symptoms, medical history, examination, available imaging, prior treatments, medications, goals, and the exact proposed product. Your visit may lead to a different recommendation or a referral.
An unclear diagnosis, active infection, concerning symptoms, or a condition better addressed with established treatment may call for a different plan. Ask about contraindications specific to the proposed product and your health.

QUESTIONS THAT MATTER
Ask for the exact product name, tissue source, manufacturer, processing, lot documentation, and whether it contains living stem cells. The label alone does not establish its contents.
Dr. Mackey personally performs every injection procedure at NovaGenix. During your consultation, ask what imaging guidance may be used, how many visits are proposed, and what aftercare and follow-up will involve.
Florida Statute § 459.0127 now permits licensed osteopathic physicians to perform certain stem cell therapies related to orthopedics, wound care, or pain management when the law’s requirements are met. This state law does not grant FDA approval or remove federal requirements. The FDA says regenerative medicine therapies are not approved for orthopedic conditions.

EVIDENCE BEFORE PROMISES
Evidence differs by diagnosis, product, preparation, and study quality. Some studies report changes in pain or function, while uncertainty remains. No consultation can guarantee cartilage regrowth, avoid surgery, or predict how long a response might last.
Dr. Mackey will evaluate your diagnosis, symptoms, imaging, and treatment history. If he determines that stem cell treatment is not clinically appropriate for you, he will discuss established options such as exercise and physical therapy, medication when appropriate, conventional injections, bracing, or a surgical evaluation.

As with all medical procedures, there may be risks. Injections can cause pain, bleeding, or infection, and product-specific risks and longer-term outcomes may be uncertain. The FDA has reported serious harms from some unapproved regenerative medicine products. Dr. Mackey will discuss your individual risks before you decide.
NovaGenix is a self-pay practice. The total volume of product and its verified stem cell count, when applicable, can affect the cost. We provide an itemized written estimate for evaluation, product, procedure, and follow-up before you commit. There are no hidden fees at NovaGenix. Do not assume insurance will cover an unapproved orthopedic use.
Depending on the diagnosis, physical therapy, activity changes, medication, conventional injections, or orthopedic surgery may be more appropriate.
