About Dr. Donna D. Alderman - Hemwall Center for Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine
Located in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, Hemwall Center for Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine specializes in non‑surgical, regenerative treatments for musculoskeletal pain. The practice combines traditional dextrose prolotherapy with advanced biologics such as platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) and biocellular (stem‑cell‑rich) injections to address ligament laxity, tendon degeneration, disc disease, osteoarthritis, and sports‑related injuries. By emphasizing a stimulus‑response healing model, the team uses ultrasound‑guided injections to precisely deliver growth‑factor‑rich solutions that stimulate collagen synthesis, restore joint stability, and reduce inflammation. This regenerative approach offers patients an alternative to chronic medication use, corticosteroid injections, and invasive surgery, helping them return to active lifestyles faster and with fewer side effects. Founded by pioneers like Dr. Gustav Hemwall, Dr. George Hackett, and Dr. Earl Gedney, the center continues the legacy of innovative regenerative medicine under the leadership of Dr. Donna Alderman, D.O., who integrates evidence‑based protocols with personalized patient care. The practice’s commitment to research, education, and outcomes‑driven therapy has earned recognition from institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and the American Osteopathic Association, positioning Hemwall Center as a trusted authority in regenerative orthopedics.
