What exactly is regenerative medicine?

Are stem cells ethical?

What is PRP?

Why doesn’t insurance cover these treatments?


In this episode of the Active Health Podcast, Dr. Josh Mason sits down with our case manager Lynne to answer the most common questions we receive about stem cells, PRP, A2M, and regenerative joint injections.


This is an open, unscripted conversation designed to clear up confusion and provide honest insight into how these treatments work and who they are for. Dr. Josh explains the difference between stem cell therapy and PRP, how A2M helps neutralize the arthritic process, what joints can be treated, how long results typically last, and why regenerative medicine focuses on healing tissue rather than masking symptoms.


They also address some of the biggest concerns patients have before walking through the door, including ethical sourcing of stem cells, insurance coverage, cost, and whether these treatments are truly effective long term.


If you have joint pain, have been told you are “bone on bone,” or are exploring options beyond medication or surgery, this episode will give you a clearer understanding of what regenerative medicine can and cannot do.
