Serving the City of St. Louis
Regenerative Medicine in St. Louis City
For city residents weighing joint replacement, spinal fusion, or one more round of steroid injections, Regen.MD offers a different starting point — a physician-led analysis of why the tissue is not healing, and an orthobiologic and metabolic plan built from that answer.
An independent second path for city patients
St. Louis is an independent city, and its patients are usually moved efficiently through a hospital surgical system: imaging, a specialist, a surgical date. That pathway is right for some. For many it skips the question of why the joint failed in the first place, and whether the native joint can still be preserved.
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, but they arrive at a practice whose entire model is to measure and correct the biological terrain before it reaches 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 of those lives on its own page: joint dysfunction, chronic back pain, neuropathic pain and metabolic inflammation.
How the treatment is chosen
Which intervention follows is decided by the evaluation, never by the clinic’s preference — image-guided orthobiologics such as PRP, intraosseous PRP, BMAC and Lipogems, with metabolic optimization and peptide therapy where the labs call for them.
Measured before treated
Independence is the practical point here. Regen.MD is not attached to a hospital’s surgical volume target, so the recommendation follows your data rather than 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 paid, physician-led Clinical Evaluation with Dr. Padda — about an hour, built on your imaging, history and a metabolic panel, ending in a written roadmap. It is not a free qualification 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 typically fifteen to twenty minutes via I-64 or I-70. The clinic is directly 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 that most surgical pathways never address 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 surgical recommendation already in hand. A regenerative evaluation is a separate clinical question: whether the native joint or disc can still respond before you commit to a replacement or fusion. It is worth asking before the operating-room 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 image rules out some things and explains almost nothing. Pain with unremarkable imaging usually means the generator has not been identified yet, which is what diagnostic blocks are for. More here: your scan came back clean and you are still in pain.
