Serving Johnstown, CO
Regenerative Medicine for Johnstown, CO
Johnstown patients make the short trip north — about 15 minutes up the corridor to our Windsor clinic — for physician-performed PRP, prolotherapy, and focal sound wave therapy. A lot of them already log plenty of miles on I-25 for work, so a quick hop to see a doctor who handles every treatment personally is an easy trade. Dr. Jerry Hric offers a Conservative First plan: honest answers, no referral needed, and the gentlest option that can actually help tried first.
Johnstown has turned into one of the busy hinges of the northern I-25 corridor — a fast-growing town roughly midway between Loveland and Greeley, where new subdivisions and the retail that sprang up around Exit 254 keep drawing in commuters and young families. Plenty of folks here spend real hours in the car, running up and down the interstate to jobs in Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, and even Denver, then come home to yards, kids, and weekend leagues. That mix — long stretches seated behind the wheel or at a desk, then bursts of hard weekend activity — wears on low backs, hips, necks, and knees.
Because Johnstown sits right in the middle of that corridor, the roughly 15-minute run north to our Windsor clinic barely registers for people already used to the drive — it's a quick trip up, not a haul across the city. Dr. Hric performs every treatment himself, so there's no handoff to a technician once you're in the room. He'll sort out whether PRP, prolotherapy, or focal sound wave therapy actually fits what's going on, start with the gentlest option that has real evidence behind it, and say so plainly when a treatment isn't likely to help. For commuters who can't afford to lose days to recovery, focal sound wave therapy is often the easiest place to begin: no needles, no downtime, and usually under 30 minutes.
Our Windsor clinic sits about 15 minutes north of Johnstown, at 1349 Water Valley Parkway, Suite 101. We're about 15 minutes away.

Treatments we perform
Three evidence-based therapies, each performed personally by Dr. Hric. He'll recommend the one most likely to help — or tell you when none of them will.
01 · Platelet-rich plasma
PRP Therapy
We concentrate your growth factors from your own blood (~4 tablespoons) and place them exactly where your body needs to repair, guided by ultrasound when indicated.
02 · Regenerative injection
Prolotherapy
A targeted injection of dextrose (sugar water that stimulates growth hormones locally) that prompts your body to strengthen loose or worn ligaments and tendons, rebuilding the support around a joint rather than injecting it with steroids that only treat the symptoms, but not the problem.
03 · PiezoWave2
Focal sound wave therapy
Acoustic sound waves from the PiezoWave2 machine cause growth factors to strengthen ligaments and tendons. No needles, no downtime, typically under 30 minutes.
Johnstown questions, answered
How far is the Windsor clinic from Johnstown?
Our clinic is about a 15-minute drive north of Johnstown, at 1349 Water Valley Parkway, Suite 101 in Windsor. Because Johnstown sits right on the I-25 corridor, it's a straightforward trip up rather than a cross-town haul, and most patients feel the short drive is worth it to have Dr. Hric perform the treatment himself.
I drive and sit all day — can regenerative medicine help my back and neck?
Sometimes, but it depends on what's actually driving the pain. If worn or loose ligaments are part of the picture, PRP or prolotherapy may help your body strengthen that tissue, and focal sound wave therapy can calm certain stubborn tendon problems. What these treatments can't do is undo years of posture and sitting on their own. Dr. Hric will examine you, give you an honest read on whether an injection or a sound wave series is likely to help, and tell you if it isn't worth it.
Do you bill insurance, or is this out of pocket?
Great Physician is direct-pay, so it's out of pocket — but for treatments insurance rarely covers, that keeps it clean: no referral, no claims paperwork, no bill chasing you down the road later. Some patients put an HSA or FSA toward it, which is worth asking your plan about. You'll get exact pricing at your consultation and in our printable pricing sheet.
