Regenerative Medicine in Jupiter, FL
Regenerative medicine is the branch of medicine focused on repairing and regenerating damaged tissue, not just managing its symptoms. Here's how we turn that idea into a concrete, staged plan for your foot or ankle.
Why "pain management" wasn't enough
For decades, the standard playbook for chronic foot and ankle pain looked like this: rest and ice, then anti-inflammatories, then cortisone, then, when all of that stopped working, surgery. Notice what's missing? Nothing in that sequence actually helps damaged tissue rebuild. Each step manages symptoms while the underlying degeneration continues.
Regenerative medicine flips the playbook. Instead of asking "how do we make this hurt less?", it asks "why isn't this healing, and what does the tissue need to heal?" Sometimes the answer is energy (laser), sometimes stimulation (shockwave), sometimes raw biological material (PRP, cell therapy), and often a sequenced combination.
The four tools in our regenerative toolkit
MLS Laser Therapy
Light energy boosts cellular metabolism, calms pain and inflammation, and accelerates every phase of healing. The workhorse of nearly every program.
Learn moreShockwave (EPAT)
Acoustic waves break down scar tissue and provoke a fresh healing response in chronically degenerated tendon and fascia.
Learn morePRP Injections
Your own concentrated growth factors, placed precisely where repair has stalled.
Learn moreCell Therapy
Advanced biologic support for the hardest cases, degenerated tendons and arthritic joints.

Diagnose precisely
Chronic pain is usually a failed-healing problem, but you have to know exactly which tissue failed. Dr. Cedeno's exam, with imaging when needed, identifies the true pain generator before anything is treated.
Stage the therapies
A typical chronic plantar fasciitis program might open with shockwave to reactivate healing, run MLS laser through the rebuild phase, and add PRP if the fascia needs stronger biologic support. Your program depends on your tissue, timeline, and goals.
Track and adjust
Pain scores and function are measured across your visits. Plans that are working continue; plans that aren't get changed. No autopilot.
Protect the result
Footwear guidance, stretching, orthotics when appropriate, and load management keep the problem from coming back.
And if you do need surgery?
Then you're already in the right place. Dr. Cedeno is a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon trained in reconstructive and trauma surgery. That means two things: you'll never be pushed into regenerative treatment when surgery is genuinely the right answer, and if surgery is needed, regenerative therapies like MLS laser can speed your post-operative recovery too.
Regenerative therapies are elective medical treatments; results vary by individual and condition. A physician evaluation is required to determine candidacy.
Stop managing pain. Start repairing it.
One evaluation gives you a diagnosis, a plan, and a clear picture of what recovery looks like.
