Your Alternative to Surgery
Your body is full of living cells, some that act as repairmen of the body. As we age or get injuries, we sometimes can’t get enough of these critical repair cells to the injured area to do their work. Regenexx procedures work without surgery by increasing the concentration of your body’s own healing agents to stimulate the natural healing response in your injured or degenerative area.
Regenexx patients benefit from less downtime, less pain, and faster recovery than invasive surgical procedures. Many of today’s most common surgeries have been shown to be ineffective and may begin a cascade of joint degeneration that leads to early-onset arthritis. Watch this video to hear some of our patient stories*.
America's Top Musculoskeletal Specialists & Industry-Leading Regenerative Treatments
Our #1 priority is to produce the best possible outcomes for our patients. And while our patented protocol is far more complex than you will find at other regenerative medicine clinics, we do not cut corners. Everything about your treatment is designed for results.
Regenexx procedures use image-guidance technology to place customized doses of your own cells precisely into the area of need.
Regenexx Procedures May Be the Right Solution for You
Have you been told that steroid injections or invasive surgery are your only options to treat your pain? Steroids may have significant side-effects, while post-surgical recovery can be painful and require a lengthy rehabilitation period to restore strength and mobility.
If you experience joint or spine pain during normal activity, you may be a good candidate for a Regenexx procedure. Regenexx Procedures may help alleviate pain and improve your joint or spine function with a non-invasive injection procedure. Downtime is minimal, with little need for pain management medications, lengthy rehab, or time off of work.
Commonly Treated Conditions
- Knee arthritis, meniscus tears, ACL tears, other injuries
- Hip arthritis or labral tear
- Shoulder rotator cuff tear or arthritis
- Back or neck pain due to herniated or degenerated discs
- Ankle arthritis, ligament sprain or tear
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Texting thumb or thumb arthritis, Carpal tunnel
- And many more common musculoskeletal conditions that cause pain
Detailed Evaluations and Diagnostics
Correct diagnosis takes time. Regenexx physicians spend an average of an hour with new patients evaluating every aspect of their injuries and developing a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses not only the site of pain but its underlying causes.
Patients receive a candidacy grade that rates the likelihood that a Regenexx procedure can help them.

Dr. Bergum has been practicing interventional orthopedics for over 15 years. He is a graduate of Midwestern University – Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. His residency training was at the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Medicine – Rochester, MN in Family Medicine, and his fellowship training in Sports Medicine was at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. He has extensive training in the field of Regenerative Medicine and image-guided musculoskeletal injections through groups such as the Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation, Mayo Clinic, and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and has ANSI accredited Registered in Musculoskeletal (RMSK) sonography certification. He has done additional training at the world-renowned Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado and is certified by both the IOF and Regenexx to perform advanced-level injections throughout the body, including the spine.
Orthobiologic injections allow us to help the body repair areas of musculoskeletal degeneration and injury without the use of (and associated cell damage from) corticosteroids, with the goal of regaining function, decreasing pain, and avoiding surgery. I take the time to let my patients tell me their whole story, including their goals and challenges, and perform a thorough musculoskeletal exam. I take a whole-body, holistic approach to my patients, and work with my patients to get them “back into their game”.
Areas treated: Foot & Ankle, Elbow, Hand & Wrist, Knee, Hip, Shoulder
