🛡 IRB-Approved Program · Boca Raton, Florida
Integrated Chiropractic offers an IRB-approved regenerative medicine program using stem cell therapy, exosome therapy, and PRP for shoulder pain, elbow injuries, and knee pain. Led by Dr. Brandon Hollenberg, with over 9 years of regenerative medicine experience serving Boca Raton and South Florida.
A Smarter Way to Heal Without Surgery
Whether you are a golfer protecting your swing, a pickleball player managing a nagging knee, or an active adult tired of living around your pain, surgery is not your only option.Regenerative medicine works with your body’s own natural healing system to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore function without surgery, general anesthesia, or long-term medication dependence.
Dr. Hollenberg combines nearly a decade of hands-on regenerative medicine experience with a full chiropractic and orthopedic perspective. That means he looks at how your entire body moves — not just the painful joint — to create a treatment plan that addresses the real source of your problem, not just the symptoms.
IRB stands for Institutional Review Board — an independent committee that formally reviews medical programs to ensure they meet strict standards for patient safety, ethics, and scientific validity. This is the same level of oversight applied to clinical research trials.At Integrated Chiropractic, your treatments are structured, documented, and held to a higher standard than most regenerative clinics in Boca Raton or Palm Beach County offer. When you choose an IRB-approved program, you are not choosing experimental care — you are choosing accountable, governed, outcomes-tracked medicine.
Our IRB-approved program focuses on orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions in which regenerative medicine yields the most meaningful, documented results — especially for active adults and athletes who want to return to the sports and activities they love.
Rotator Cuff Tears · Labral Injuries
Rotator cuff injuries, bicep tendon problems, and labral damage can sideline even the most active patients. Our treatments target tissue damage and inflammation directly at the source — so you can get back to swinging, throwing, and lifting.
Patellar Tendinopathy · Chronic Knee Pain
Whether from a meniscus tear, cartilage breakdown, sports injury, or years of wear, knee pain limits everything. Our regenerative protocols help patients avoid knee surgery and return to golf, pickleball, running, and daily life.
Elbow Tendonitis · Olecranon Bursitis · Distal Biceps Injuries
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are among the most stubborn orthopedic injuries to recover from — especially when you play regularly. We treat the underlying tissue damage so the pain stops coming back.
Ligament injuries · Cartilage damage
If you have been living with pain that hasn’t responded to physical therapy, medication, regenerative medicine may offer a genuine path forward. We specialize in complex cases where standard treatments have fallen short.
Three advanced regenerative therapies are under our IRB-approved protocol. Here is exactly what each one is and how it works — so you can make an informed decision before your consultation.
Advanced Tissue Regeneration
Best For: Moderate to severe joint degeneration, tissue damage, rotator cuff injuries, meniscus tears, and cases where other treatments have not produced lasting results.
Most Advanced Regenerative Option
Best For: Inflammation-driven conditions, tendon injuries, and patients seeking the most advanced regenerative approach available.
First-Line Regenerative Option
Best For: Early- to moderate-stage joint conditions, tendon injuries such as tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, and patients seeking a highly effective, minimally invasive starting point.
Most Comprehensive Protocol
Best For: Complex or long-standing orthopedic conditions — Dr. Hollenberg determines the right combination during your consultation.
From First Call to Full Recovery
A clear, supported path every step of the way — from your very first call to complete recovery.
Your first step is a no-obligation consultation with our team. We discuss your symptoms, history, activity level, and goals — and determine whether you are a candidate for the IRB program and which therapy is most appropriate for your situation.
Dr. Hollenberg conducts a full orthopedic and chiropractic evaluation. This may include a review of existing imaging, such as X-ray or MRI, relevant lab work, and a physical assessment of how your body moves and compensates. This step ensures your treatment plan is accurate and personalized — not generic.
You receive a clear written plan outlining the recommended therapy or combination of therapies, number of sessions, what each session involves, and a realistic timeline for results: no pressure, no surprises, no upselling.
All treatments are performed at our Boca Raton clinic and typically take 30 to 90 minutes. Most patients return to normal daily activity the same day or within 24 to 48 hours: no surgery, no hospital stay, no general anesthesia.
Dr. Hollenberg actively monitors your progress throughout the program and adjusts your protocol based on your response. You are never left to manage your recovery alone.
Why Patients Choose Us
Our program has been formally reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board — the same standard of oversight used in clinical research. Every treatment is documented, ethically governed, and consistently applied.
We are not a chain clinic. We are a local practice that has served Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Palm Beach County for nearly a decade. Our team is accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in the long-term health of every patient we treat.
From your first consultation to your final follow-up, we explain everything clearly. You will always know what you are receiving, why it was recommended, and what to expect realistically.
Our patient population includes golfers, pickleball players, tennis players, runners, cyclists, and weightlifters — people who cannot afford to be sidelined and want a treatment partner who understands that.
Dr. Hollenberg has been performing regenerative medicine treatments for over nine years — making Integrated Chiropractic one of the most experienced regenerative practices in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County.
Most regenerative clinics treat the painful joint in isolation. Dr. Hollenberg evaluates the full picture — how your spine, posture, movement patterns, and biomechanics are contributing to your injury.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our IRB-approved regenerative wellness program — answered clearly and honestly.
IRB stands for Institutional Review Board — an independent ethics and safety committee that reviews medical programs to ensure they meet rigorous standards for patient protection, scientific validity, and consistent application. Most regenerative clinics in South Florida do not operate under this level of oversight.
The best way to find out is through a complimentary consultation with Dr. Hollenberg. Generally, good candidates are patients with orthopedic conditions — shoulder, elbow, or knee injuries — who want to avoid surgery or have not gotten lasting results from cortisone shots, physical therapy, or medication.
Stem cells are the body’s repair cells — they regenerate damaged tissue directly. Exosomes are signaling particles that amplify healing communication between cells. PRP uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate repair. Dr. Hollenberg will recommend the right therapy — or combination — based on your specific condition.
Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, labral), elbow conditions (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow), and knee injuries (meniscus tears, cartilage damage, Baker’s cysts) consistently show strong results.
This varies by condition, severity, and the therapy used. Dr. Hollenberg will outline the recommended number of sessions in your written treatment plan — before you commit to anything.
Most patients return to their normal daily routine within 24 to 48 hours. Strenuous athletic activity may need to be paused briefly, depending on the treatment area.
Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks. Full results typically develop over 8 to 12 weeks as the body’s regenerative process progresses.
Most standard insurance plans do not currently cover stem cell, exosome, and PRP therapies. We accept private pay and will walk you through all costs transparently during your consultation.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A local anesthetic is used at the injection site to keep you as comfortable as possible. Any soreness in the treatment area typically resolves within a few days.
