Your Alternative to Elbow Surgery

Have you been told that steroid injections or invasive surgery are your only options to treat your elbow pain? Interventional orthopedics provides a non-surgical alternative that uses your own cells to repair the damage.

The elbow can be the site of pain generation for a number of reasons. The most common is tennis or golfer’s elbow, but other issues such as UCL injury or arthritis also occur. Common surgical interventions lead to considerable downtime. Treating elbow injuries with steroid injections reduces inflammation in the site of an injury and causes the degeneration of cells at the site of the injection and over time actually leads to significant worsening of the condition. In addition, we have little solid scientific evidence that elbow surgery helps, but we do know it’s invasive and has the potential of infection, tissue damage, pain and nerve injury.

At Regenexx we invented a new approach to orthopedic care we call Interventional Orthopedics. This approach involves the use of image guidance(flouroscopy and ultrasound) to precisely place high-dose cells from your body directly where they are needed in a specific joint structure. These cells then work in the site of your injury to grow into new, healthy tissue, a process that will only occur if the cells have been placed exactly where they need to go in order to achieve positive outcomes for the patient. This precise approach to orthopedic care can’t be replicated by a surgeon or nurse in a chiropractor’s office. Interventional Orthopedics requires thousands of hours of training following a standardized protocol process to become a licensed Regenexx physician.

If you’re experiencing elbow pain, Regenexx procedures are likely an excellent treatment option. The innovative Regenexx procedures restore elbow function and decrease pain without the need for surgery by regenerating damaged tissue. During these outpatient procedures, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing mechanisms into the exact areas of damage to tighten and stabilize your elbow joint for better function and mobility.

This page contains an extensive library of educational resources on elbow conditions and our patented elbow procedures created by Regenexx and our founder, Chris Centeno, M.D.. We encourage you to research your options.

I became a doctor because I love medicine plain and simple! I am fascinated with the human body, our ability to grow and heal and the numerous advances in medicine that allow treating physicians to play a part. I come from a generation of physicians, so I also feel a deep persona connection to the field. I personally like to make patients feel as comfortable as possible, that means knowing your audience and having emotional intelligence. Some patients like to laugh, some more serious but all patients want a doctor that knows what they’re doing and has compassion, which is what I strive to deliver during every patient interaction.

I was born in Miami and attended Belen Jesuit High school which built character and strengthened the foundation for my future career in medicine. I then attended the University of Miami School of Medicine where I helped found the MD/MBA program becoming the first MD to graduate from the dual program. During this time I studied business and the business of medicine, reinforcing my passion towards becoming a future entrepreneur and business leader. I then completed Residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Miami where I sharpened my skills in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. I went on to complete an Interventional spine fellowship in Tampa followed by a regenerative medicine and Ultrasound fellowship In Napa Valley with the acclaimed Dr. Marko Bodor. I returned to Miami to practice where I continue to help my community with the knowledge I have gained.

I specialize in disorders of the spine and nervous system and also in Regenerative Orthopedics which utilizes the body’s own healing agents to promote healing of tears and other sports injuries using Ultrasound and Fluoroscopy guidance. I specialize in ultrasound guided injections because this is the only way to guarantee patients have the best outcomes as opposed to injecting blindly. I Also specialize in Anti-Aging Medicine which includes Metabolic weight loss, hormone replacement therapy for men and women, hair regrowth, and skin rejuvenation; by combining Anti-Aging Medicine with Regenerative

Medicine I truly feel I am able to offer patients a unique experience, not only in their healing process, but their internal metabolic functions and image. I want to help people live longer and healthier.

I love to play sports including basketball, tennis, and golf. I love to snowboard and I love boating. I am an entrepreneur who has created different products in health care and have partnered with many prestigious companies, one being Moroccan Oil, for whom I created a supplement line to support healthy hair and skin. I love to develop novel health products that actually work, and assist people in navigating the confusing world of medicine and health products. I am proud to be at the forefront of Regenerative medicine in Miami, and I hope to continue serving my community as much as I can.
