## Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our approach to joint degeneration.

Is this treatment covered by insurance?
Coverage for regenerative medicine varies significantly by provider and plan. While some consultations and associated therapies may be covered, specific regenerative procedures are often considered elective. We recommend calling our office at (517) 525-8018 for a complimentary benefits check.
Can cartilage actually grow back?
While we cannot promise to regrow a full layer of cartilage, regenerative treatments aim to improve the health of the remaining cartilage, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the supporting ligaments. This often results in significantly less pain and better function, even without "regrowing" the joint.
Is it effective for bone-on-bone joints?
Even in severe "bone-on-bone" cases, pain is often caused by the surrounding soft tissues and inflammation, not just the bone contact. Many patients find relief and improved mobility through our conservative protocols, allowing them to delay surgery.
Do I need a referral?
No, you do not typically need a referral to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nebbeling. You can call our office directly to book an appointment.
