Why Wellesley Residents Seek Regenerative Care

Wellesley residents commonly seek regenerative care for conditions related to an active lifestyle and the natural effects of aging:

  • Knee and hip arthritis, particularly in active adults over 45 who want to avoid or delay joint replacement
  • Rotator cuff injuries and chronic shoulder pain from tennis, golf, and fitness training
  • Chronic tendon and ligament conditions that have not resolved with physical therapy alone
  • Sports and overuse injuries from running, cycling, or gym-based training
  • Spine-related pain affecting daily function and activity levels

Many of these conditions respond well to non-surgical regenerative treatments when properly diagnosed and addressed early — before the damage progresses to a point where surgery becomes the only option.

Treatments Available

We offer a full range of regenerative and non-surgical treatments, each selected based on your specific diagnosis, condition severity, and functional goals:

  • PRP Therapy — uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in joints, tendons, and ligaments
  • Stem Cell Therapy — a more advanced option using bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) for significant cartilage loss or joint degeneration
  • A2M Injections — a protease inhibitor that blocks the enzymes responsible for cartilage breakdown in arthritic joints
  • Focused Shockwave Therapy — non-invasive acoustic energy treatment that promotes circulation and tissue repair

All treatments are performed in-office under ultrasound guidance when appropriate. Dr. Ritucci explains the rationale behind each recommendation and sets realistic expectations for recovery and results.

What to Expect

Wellesley residents are accustomed to a consultative approach to healthcare — thorough evaluation, clear explanations, and honest recommendations. That is exactly how we practice. Our diagnosis-first philosophy means we identify the cause of your pain before discussing treatment, and we are straightforward about whether regenerative care is the right option for your condition.

Your initial visit includes a comprehensive evaluation — medical history review, physical examination, imaging assessment, and a clear explanation of what is causing your symptoms. If regenerative treatment is appropriate, we outline the specific procedure, timeline, and expected outcomes. If it is not, we discuss alternatives openly.

FAQs

Is stem cell therapy available at your Norwood location?

Yes. Stem cell therapy is one of the regenerative treatment options available at our Norwood practice. It is an autologous, in-office procedure completed in a single visit using your own healing cells. Candidacy is determined after a full physician evaluation, as it is not appropriate for every condition or patient.

Do you see patients from towns near Norwood, or only Norwood residents?

We see patients from throughout the Greater Boston south shore area, including Canton, Walpole, Dedham, Westwood, Sharon, Stoughton, and beyond. If you're within reasonable driving distance of Norwood, our team is happy to schedule an evaluation.

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

Many patients schedule directly without a referral. If your insurance plan requires one, our team can walk you through the process. The fastest way to get started is to request an evaluation online or call the office. We'll confirm what's needed for your specific situation.

Does insurance cover regenerative medicine treatments?

Most regenerative treatments — including stem cell therapy, PRP, prolotherapy, and A2M injections — are not currently covered by standard health insurance plans. We accept CareCredit and HSA/FSA accounts, and our team will walk you through cost and financing options at your consultation. Learn more about our financing options.

What should I bring to my first visit at your Norwood office?

Bring any prior imaging (X-rays, MRI, ultrasound), a list of current medications, and records from previous treatment if available. If you don't have imaging yet, we can guide you on next steps during the evaluation. Most first visits run 45–60 minutes.
