What Is Regenerative Sports Medicine?
Regenerative Sports Medicine Orthopedics is a cutting-edge approach to healing sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions using the body’s natural ability to repair damaged tissues. At CORE, based in Princeton Junction, NJ, we utilize innovative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and prolotherapy to promote faster healing, reduce pain, and restore function without invasive surgery.
How Regenerative Orthopedics Can Help You
Regenerative therapies effectively treat conditions such as torn ligaments and tendons, joint pain, osteoarthritis, muscle strains, sprains, rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, and cartilage damage. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or an active individual dealing with chronic pain, regenerative orthopedics can provide lasting relief and enhanced performance.
Conditions Treated with Regenerative Sports Medicine
At CORE, we offer a range of regenerative treatments tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. Prolotherapy involves injecting a natural irritant to trigger the body’s healing response and strengthen weakened areas, while shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic waves to injured tissues to promote blood flow, reduce pain, and speed up the healing process.
While each treatment works differently, they all aim to support your body’s natural ability to recover—without the need for invasive surgery or long-term medication. At CORE, we customize your care plan to match your injury, activity level, and performance goals, so you can heal efficiently and get back to doing what you love.

What is a sports medicine physician?
A sports medicine physician is a fellowship trained physician who specializes in the non-operative treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. As the vast majority of these injuries do not require surgery, sports medicine physicians can help diagnose your condition, guide your treatment, perform procedures to optimize recovery and refer to other providers and practitioners when appropriate. Whether it’s an acute injury like a sprained ankle or a pulled muscle, an issue you’ve had for a while like shoulder tendonitis or arthritis, or you simply do not know where to begin, we, as sports medicine physicians, are here to help you!
Do I need to be an athlete to see a sports medicine doctor?
No, you do not need to be an athlete to see a sports medicine doctor. We take care of musculoskeletal conditions in patients of all ages and activity levels, from elite athletes and weekend warriors to those who are looking to stay active or become more active.
What is a lifestyle medicine physician?
Lifestyle medicine physicians are board certified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and are trained to utilize evidence-based therapeutic lifestyle interventions in the treatment and prevention of chronic disease. A prescriptive and individualized approach, guided by the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine (plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, social connections, and sleep management) helps patients in achieving a healthier lifestyle.
How does lifestyle medicine fit into sports medicine?
Lifestyle medicine focuses on preventing and managing chronic diseases through healthy habits, such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep. It integrates exceptionally well with sports medicine by promoting overall well-being and optimizing physical performance.
