Advanced Regenerative Orthopedics
About Advanced Regenerative Orthopedics
Located in San Rafael, California, Advanced Regenerative Orthopedics is a specialized orthopedic center that focuses on non‑surgical, regenerative solutions for a wide spectrum of joint and musculoskeletal pain. The practice serves the entire Bay Area and positions itself as a leader in regenerative orthopedics, offering alternatives to conventional surgery for conditions ranging from osteoarthritis to sports‑related injuries. The clinic’s care philosophy centers on leveraging the body’s own healing capacity through image‑guided injections of autologous biologics. Patients receive platelet‑rich plasma (PRP), bone‑marrow concentrate (a stem‑cell‑rich therapy), and platelet lysate, all delivered with ultrasound or fluoroscopic precision to target cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and discs. By emphasizing minimally invasive, evidence‑based procedures, the team aims to reduce pain, improve function, and delay or avoid joint replacement surgery. Founded in 1995 by Dr. Paul Handleman, DO, AOBFP, the practice combines decades of osteopathic medicine with advanced Regenexx® protocols. Dr. Handleman’s extensive training in musculoskeletal ultrasound, fluoroscopic guidance, and Regenexx procedures makes him one of the most experienced regenerative orthopedic physicians in California. The practice’s affiliation with the Regenexx network, a world‑leading platform for orthobiologic interventions, underscores its commitment to transparent outcomes, ongoing research, and high‑quality patient care.
