Living with knee or joint pain and tired of temporary
fixes?
If cortisone shots have stopped working and surgery feels like a last resort — there are non-surgical treatment options designed to address the source of the pain, not just the symptoms.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
When the standard treatments stop being enough
They're not looking for a miracle — they're looking for an honest answer about whether there's a better option.
Treatment outcomes depend on individual health factors and cannot be guaranteed.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
"Regenerative care is not for every patient. Our first job is to determine if you're a genuine candidate — and to be honest if you're not."
Not every condition responds to regenerative treatment. Some injuries require surgery. Some pain patterns respond better to conventional care. At Ritucci Regenerative Medicine, candidacy is determined through thorough diagnostic evaluation — not a preset protocol.
If we don't believe regenerative treatment is right for your situation, we tell you directly and discuss what your actual options are.

ABOUT YOUR PHYSICIAN
Physician-led care. Every patient. Every visit.
Dr. Ritucci is a double board-certified physiatrist with subspecialty training
in regenerative medicine and a fellowship in spine care. He evaluates and
treats every patient personally — there are no physician assistants or
delegates performing your diagnostic evaluation.
His background in physical medicine, orthopedic rehabilitation, and sports medicine gives him a broad clinical lens for determining whether regenerative treatment is appropriate — and which specific approach is best matched to your condition.

These are some of our NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS
Treatments selected for your diagnosis — not a protocol
A2M Injections
Alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M) is a naturally occurring protein that blocks the enzymes responsible for cartilage breakdown. Injected directly into arthritic joints, A2M is designed to slow the destructive process driving degeneration and create a more favorable environment for healing.
ARTHRITIS · CARTILAGE LOSS · JOINT DEGENERATION
Focused Shockwave Therapy
A non-invasive, in-office treatment that delivers acoustic energy to promote circulation, stimulate tissue repair, and reduce pain. Often used alongside injection-based treatment or as a standalone option for tendon, soft tissue, and chronic pain conditions.
TENDONS · SOFT TISSUE · CHRONIC PAIN
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your first visit, step by step
01
Dr. Ritucci reviews your history, prior treatments, symptoms, and existing imaging or diagnostic studies
02
A focused physical exam of the area of concern. Additional imaging may be ordered if needed to complete the diagnostic picture.
03
Dr. Ritucci explains whether regenerative treatment is appropriate for your condition — and why. If it's not the right fit, he'll tell you that directly.
04
If you're a candidate, you'll receive a clear plan: which treatment, why, what to expect, and a realistic timeline for improvement.
COST & PAYMENT
Regenerative treatments are not covered by insurance
Regenerative and shockwave therapy are not covered by traditional health insurance plans. Treatment is paid for directly at the time of service. We believe cost should be a known factor before your visit — not a surprise after — and our team is happy to walk through pricing before you book.
CareCredit offers instant approval with no delay to your care. HSA and FSA funds can typically be applied directly at the time of service — check with your account administrator to confirm eligibility for your specific procedure.
