Orthobiologic Care for City of St. Louis Residents
For city residents weighing joint replacement, spinal fusion, or one more round of steroid shots, Regen.MD offers regenerative medicine as a different starting point. It begins with a physician-led look at why the tissue is not healing. Then it builds an orthobiologic and metabolic plan from that answer.
An independent second path for city patients
St. Louis is an independent city, and its patients are usually moved quickly through a hospital surgery system: imaging, a specialist, a surgery date. That path is right for some. For many, it skips the question of why the joint failed in the first place, and whether your own joint can still be saved.
Regen.MD exists to ask that question first. The clinic sits just over the city line on Woodson in 63134, minutes from the central corridor by way of I-64 or I-70. So city residents do not travel far. And they arrive at a practice whose whole model is to measure and fix the body’s terrain before reaching for a needle or a scalpel.
What brings city patients in
City patients most often come to us about a knee, hip, shoulder or spine that has already been through therapy and cortisone. The detail on each one lives on its own page: joint dysfunction, chronic back pain, neuropathic pain and metabolic inflammation.
How the treatment is chosen
The evaluation decides which treatment follows, never the clinic’s preference. Options include image-guided orthobiologics such as PRP, intraosseous PRP, BMAC and Lipogems. Metabolic optimization and peptide therapy are added where the labs call for them.
Measured before treated
Independence is the practical point here. Regen.MD is not tied to a hospital’s surgery volume target. So the advice follows your data, not an operating-room schedule. And the data always includes the metabolic chemistry that decides whether a repair can hold. That reasoning is set out in our approach.
Your first visit
The first visit is a physician-led Clinical Evaluation with Dr. Padda. It takes about an hour. It is built on your imaging, history and a metabolic panel, and it ends in a written roadmap. It is not a free screening call. See what the evaluation involves and apply.
Getting here from the city
From the Central West End, south city, Dogtown or the near north side, the drive to 4477 Woodson Rd is usually fifteen to twenty minutes via I-64 or I-70. The clinic sits right beside St. Louis Lambert International Airport, so it is easy to find and easy to park.
Why city patients choose Regen.MD
For an honest read on whether a knee, shoulder, hip or spine still has a non-surgical option. And for the metabolic work most surgical paths never touch at all.

Frequently asked questions
I have already seen a surgeon at a St. Louis hospital. Is it too late for regenerative options?
Most patients we treat arrive with a surgery recommendation already in hand. A regenerative evaluation asks a separate question. Can your own joint or disc still respond before you commit to a replacement or fusion? It is worth asking before the surgery date, not after. See the questions to ask first.
How far is the clinic from downtown St. Louis?
Fifteen to twenty minutes to 4477 Woodson Rd, Suite 103, in 63134 via I-64 or I-70, directly next to Lambert Airport with on-site parking.
My scan came back clean and I am still in pain. What now?
A clean scan rules out some things and explains almost nothing. Pain with a normal-looking scan usually means the pain source has not been found yet. That is what test numbing blocks are for. More here: your scan came back clean and you are still in pain.
