Regenerative Medicine for Loveland, CO
Loveland sits about 20 minutes southwest of our Windsor clinic — a short, easy drive for physician-performed PRP, prolotherapy, and focal sound wave therapy. Sweetheart City patients come to us for a Conservative First plan: Dr. Jerry Hric starts with the least invasive option that has real evidence behind it, and tells you honestly when a treatment won't help.
Loveland is built for people who stay busy. Cyclists spin up toward the foothills, hikers use the city as a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, and plenty of neighbors are simply active adults who walk the Lake Loveland loop, garden, and keep up with grandkids. All of that movement adds up over the years — the knees, hips, and shoulders that carried you through decades of activity start to wear, ache, and stiffen.
Many of the Loveland patients we see are weekend athletes and older adults who've been told to just live with it, or to wait until the joint is bad enough for surgery. That's exactly the gap we work in. Instead of masking pain with repeated cortisone shots, Dr. Hric looks at whether PRP or prolotherapy can help your body strengthen and heal the tissue itself — and whether focal sound wave therapy, with no needles and no downtime, is the smarter first step. When regenerative medicine isn't likely to help, he'll tell you that too.
Our Windsor clinic is roughly a 20-minute drive northeast of Loveland. We're about 20 minutes away.
Common reasons Loveland patients visit

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.
Loveland questions, answered
How far is your clinic from Loveland?
Our clinic is at 1349 Water Valley Parkway, Suite 101 in Windsor — roughly a 20-minute drive northeast of Loveland, and easy to reach whether you're coming from downtown, near Lake Loveland, or the east side of town. Most patients find the short trip well worth it for care performed personally by Dr. Hric.
I have knee arthritis — can PRP actually help?
It depends on how advanced it is. For mild to moderate arthritis, PRP can help calm pain and support the surrounding ligaments and tissue, but it does not regrow cartilage or reverse a bone-on-bone joint. Dr. Hric will examine your knee, review any imaging, and give you an honest read on whether it's likely to help before you commit to anything.
Does insurance cover regenerative medicine?
We're direct-pay, which keeps things simple: treatments like PRP and prolotherapy generally aren't covered by insurance, so there's no claim to file and no referral to track down. Dr. Hric goes over exact pricing at your consultation, and the same figures are in our printable pricing sheet — so you can weigh the cost before you decide, not after.
