regenerative medicine
Just as skilled architects restore historic buildings using original materials and blueprints, regenerative medicine works with your body’s own healing mechanisms to rebuild and repair damaged tissues naturally.
Think of regenerative medicine as rebuilding a damaged historic building.
The body is like a complex building, where the structural framework (scaffolding) acts like the temporary supports architects use during restoration. Biologics are like the skilled craftsmen who rebuild and repair damaged sections. Growth factors serve as the architectural plans guiding the reconstruction process
Just as architects must ensure new materials integrate seamlessly with the existing structure, regenerative medicine works to help new cells and tissues blend perfectly with the body’s existing systems.
Tissue & Organ Repair
Regenerative medicine can restore function to damaged or diseased tissues and organs through various approaches including biologics therapy and tissue engineering. This includes repairing cartilage, tendons, bones, and even complex organs.
Disease Management
It offers alternative options for the management of conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, cancer, inflammatory and immune conditions
Healing Enhancement
Rather than just treating symptoms, regenerative medicine boosts the body's own healing mechanisms through rejuvenation of existing tissues, stimulation of natural repair processes and enhancement of cellular regeneration.
Renewal Processes
Regenerative medicine supports the body's natural renewal processes through advanced cellular therapies to support tissue health, natural biological solutions that work with your own cells.
What Else?
Think of your body as a garden, where regenerative medicine acts as an expert gardener.
When a garden becomes damaged or depleted, simply covering bare patches with artificial turf (like traditional medicine masking symptoms) doesn’t address the underlying soil health.
Instead, a skilled gardener enriches the soil, plants new seeds, and creates the optimal environment for growth – just as regenerative medicine provides the essential elements your body needs to heal itself.
The gardener doesn’t actually grow the plants – they create the perfect conditions for nature to do its work.
Similarly, regenerative medicine doesn’t force healing but rather sets up the ideal environment for your body’s natural repair mechanisms to function at their best.
Just as a well-tended garden becomes more resilient and vibrant over time, regenerative treatments help strengthen your body’s own healing capabilities, leading to lasting health and vitality.

Under Dr. Catie Harris’s expert guidance, the center specializes in innovative therapies that repair and rejuvenate damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing processes. Our comprehensive approach combines state-of-the-art regenerative treatments with personalized protocols, helping patients achieve remarkable recoveries from joint injuries, chronic pain, and age-related conditions – all without relying on medications or invasive surgeries.
Treatments
Regenerative medicine offers several powerful treatment options that harness the body’s natural healing abilities. The main approaches include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which concentrates healing factors from your own blood to repair damaged tissues; cellular therapy, which stimulates tissue repair and reduces inflammation; and prolotherapy, which triggers the body’s natural healing response through targeted injections.
These treatments can effectively address joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and chronic inflammatory conditions by promoting tissue repair and regeneration rather than just masking symptoms. Each therapy can be used individually or in combination, depending on the specific condition and treatment goals, providing patients with natural, minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional treatments and surgery.
We utilize Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) matrix therapy as a powerful regenerative treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities. The process begins by drawing a small amount of your own blood, which is then processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the healing platelets and growth factors.
We then heat and cool the plasma to create a time released matrix. We add the PRP and any other peptide, biologic or RPA to the matrix for delivery to the intended area.
- Accelerate tissue repair and healing
- Reduce inflammation
- Stimulate new blood vessel formation
- Enhance collagen production
Our technique ensures precise placement of PRP exactly where it’s needed for optimal results.
This advanced treatment is particularly effective for joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Most patients experience significant improvement within weeks of treatment, with minimal downtime and no risk of rejection since the treatment uses your own blood.
The entire procedure takes approximately 30-60 minutes, making it a convenient option for busy professionals seeking natural healing solution.

Our services vary depending on the needs of the patient.
Peptides can cost as little as $75. Whereas biologics and RPA are several thousands of dollars.
The short answer is yes. It doesn’t matter what condition you have – labelled or unlabelled. Any condition you have has a strong possibility of responding to corrections using our regenerative services. We work with many research peptides and biologics that have potential to amplify results. There are hundreds of peptides out there that can help in conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, autoimmune diseases, Lyme, Long COVID and more.
We base our treatments off the strongest and most recent advancements in medicine and science.
Everything we do is evidenced based with a proven track record of success.
Unfortunately, new treatments take about 15-20 years to make it to the algorithms of mainstream medicine. We think that is too long to have to wait for medicine to catch up.
Advancements are being made every year and it’s vital to keep on top of them. For instance, 15-20 years ago, we knew virtually nothing about cellular health.
Today we know there are hundreds of pathways that can be influenced with the proper peptides and nutrients to improve health. There are so many better ways to treat diabetes and chronic disease today, then when I went to school in 2000.
Therefore, many of the medications and treatment options we offer are not routinely provided in a traditional medical office. Because we are not tied to the dictates of insurance companies, we are able to customize treatment plans.
In traditional medicine, providers are strongly discouraged from deviating from the algorithm even if it doesn’t fit the patient.
We also use advanced testing modalities to understand individual cellular health to make targeted recommendations from supplements to medications to any procedures that you may need.
I have worked as a nurse practitioner for 25 years. I specialized in neurosurgery and orthopedic medicine.
I saw intimately the connection between the brain injury and the havoc it caused on the endocrine system and the gut. Now I work preventatively to manage the gut and the endocrine system to optimize the brain. The connections are so intertwined and yet rarely addressed simultaneously.
Conventional medicine is siloed into hundreds of subspecialties but you as a person are a complex being. Your systems cannot be siloed or dealt with as distinct entities.
What you do to one body part, organ or system impacts so many others. I take a functional, holistic approach to health. I also incorporate your beliefs and respect your boundaries with health.
There is no pressure to adopt one therapy over the other. There are many ways to achieve success in health and we are open to finding what works for you specifically.
