Dr. Marchetti treats patients with a focus on restoring function to the body and enhancing our own capacity to heal. Dr. Marchetti specializes in regenerative medicine treatments for orthopedic, spine and general musculoskeletal conditions ranging from acute sports injuries to longstanding arthritis. As regenerative medicine technics rely on a healthy, well functioning immune system, Dr. Marchetti enhances his patients' care with functional medicine assessments including identifcation of inflammatory triggers and offers bio-identical hormone replacement to enhance proper functioning of the immune system and general health of individuals. His goal is to improve patient's function, slow down arthritic conditions to hopefully avoid surgery and to reduce, if not eliminate, the need for pain medications.

ServicesRegenerative medicine treatments start with basic prolotherapy and may progress, if needed, to include platelet rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate ("stem cell") injections or other orthobiologic products including amniotic fluid and alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M). Procedures are done with image guidance when needed either using ultrasound or fluoroscopy. Functional Medicine assessments involve extensive laboratory screening, an extensive medical history and hour long consultation to identify inflammatory triggers, hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies and to recommend solutions for these problems. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement is offered primarily using the BioTE method and protocols with subcutaneous pellets, oral dessicated thyroid and oral micronized progesterone if needed. By using more natural, bio-identical forms of hormones, patients often have improvement in symptoms with lower risk of adverse side effects compared to pharmaceutical hormones.
