Avoid Back Surgery with Regenexx

Spondylolysis is a break in the bone connecting the facet joints and is especially common for people engaged in athletics that involve considerable strain on the back. Spinal fusion involving fusing together the vertebrae around where the break has occurred is the common treatment option. There is no way to install the hardware to fuse the spine without cutting through the critical muscles and fascia that stabilize the spine. As a result, spinal fusions create spinal instability around the site of the fusion. Spinal fusions have additionally been shown over time to be no more effective than sham or placebo surgeries while complications occur in 36% of fusion patients.

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 break to promote natural healing. 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 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.
