Non-Surgical Pain Relief in Boca Raton — Keep Moving Without Going Under the Knife

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

A Smarter Way to Stay Active 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.

What Is IRB Oversight?

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.

Conditions Treated

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.

Shoulder Pain

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.

Knee Pain

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 Pain

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.

Chronic & Orthopedic Pain

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.

IRB-Approved Treatments

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.

01

Advanced Tissue Regeneration

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are the body’s master repair cells. They respond to signals at the site of tissue damage and can differentiate into the specific cell type needed — cartilage, tendon, ligament, or muscle. When delivered directly to the injured area, they stimulate cellular 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.

02

Most Advanced Regenerative Option

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are microscopic signaling particles naturally produced by stem cells. They function as the communication layer of the healing process — carrying growth factors, proteins, and molecular instructions that tell surrounding cells to repair tissue and reduce inflammation.

Best For: Inflammation-driven conditions, tendon injuries, and patients seeking the most advanced regenerative approach available.

03

First-Line Regenerative Option

PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP therapy uses a concentrated preparation of your own blood platelets — drawn, processed, and injected directly into the injured area. Platelets are rich in natural growth factors that accelerate tissue repair, reduce pain, and stimulate the body’s healing response.

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

Combined Protocol

In many cases, Dr. Hollenberg recommends combining therapies for the strongest possible outcome. Stem cells provide regenerative building blocks for tissue repair. Exosomes amplify healing signals between cells. PRP accelerates the process using your body’s own growth factors. Together, they create a faster, more complete treatment response than any single therapy alone.

Best For: Complex or long-standing orthopedic conditions — Dr. Hollenberg determines the right combination during your consultation.

From First Call to Full Recovery

Your Patient Journey

A clear, supported path every step of the way — from your very first call to complete recovery.

Step 1 — Complimentary Consultation

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.

Step 2 — Clinical Evaluation with Dr. Hollenberg

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.

Step 3 — Your Personalized Treatment Plan

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.

Step 4 — In-Office Treatment

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.

Step 5 — Follow-Up and Progress Monitoring

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

Why Choose Us

IRB-Approved Protocol

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.

Locally Rooted in Boca Raton

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.

Transparent, Honest Care

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.

Built for Active Adults and Athletes

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.

9+ Years of Regenerative Medicine Experience

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.

A Chiropractic and Orthopedic Perspective

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our IRB-approved regenerative wellness program — answered clearly and honestly.

What does IRB-approved mean, and why does it matter?

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.
