Avoid Back Surgery with Regenexx

Typical treatment protocols for patients suffering from injury to the sacroiliac (SI) joints include high-dose steroid injections that come with a number of negative side effects and SI fusion surgery that effectively removes the layer of shock-absorption between the hip and lumbar spine leading to significantly increased stress on those areas and in many cases further injury over time. One study showed that after five years 16.5% of patients who had a lower back fusion needed an additional surgery to correct damage caused by the fusion while after 10 years, roughly 1/3 of patients needed another surgery. Additional in another study, 55% of patients were still taking narcotics two years after the surgical fusion.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing mechanisms into the exact areas of damage around the SI joint to promote healing of the injured joint. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.

I became a doctor because I had multiple sports injuries as a young man and I had loved ones living with chronic pain. I fell in love with biomechanics during the rehab process and decided to pursue a career in medicine and specifically physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). My approach to patient care is that every single patient is a VIP. I pride myself on being consistent and thorough with all of my evaluations and treatments. I moved from Philadelphia, PA to Broomfield, CO in June 2024 to train at the prestigious Interventional Orthopedics Fellowship at the Centeno Schultz clinic. After completion of fellowship, I decided to stay and work with the amazing team at CSC.

Dr. Pelle is a highly accomplished physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a deep passion for interventional orthopedics. He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2020 and subsequently completed his residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He has a strong research background, notably winning an award at the 2023 Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation (IOF) Max Meeting for his research abstract.

Dr. Pelle is passionate about medical education and has served as an instructor for resident and medical student ultrasound courses at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as various educational programs. His research and clinical interests include the use of regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cells in orthopedic and musculoskeletal health. Outside of medicine, Dr. Pelle is an avid reader who reads multiple books a month, enjoys hiking, traveling, skiing, pheasant and duck hunting, weightlifting, men’s health, nutrition, optimizing athletic performance, and spending time with his wife and children.
