Not ready for surgery? Many of our patients weren't either, and started with Exosome Therapy.

Exosome Therapy for Joint Pain

Exosomes are how cells talk to each other: microscopic packages of proteins, lipids and genetic material passed from one cell to the next. Delivered to an injured joint, those messages may help tell the surrounding cells to calm inflammation and support repair, which may ease pain. Dr. Abbasi offers this treatment in Delray Beach and is board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. He evaluates the joint, reviews your imaging and performs the injection in one office visit.

Why Choose an Orthopedic Surgeon for Exosome Therapy?

Exosome Therapy here begins with a full orthopedic evaluation, not a standalone injection.

Diagnosis First
A complete orthopedic diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
Imaging Reviewed
Your MRI and imaging reviewed by a double board certified orthopedic surgeon.
Precise Placement
Precise, targeted placement in the joint or tendon being treated.
Surgery If Needed
Orthopedic Surgery, performed by Dr. Abbasi, when a regenerative treatment isn't the right fit.

Conditions Commonly Relieved by Exosome Therapy

Osteoarthritis

Gradual cartilage wear that can make a joint painful or stiff.

Cartilage Damage

Injury to the smooth surface that helps a joint move freely.

Tendon Injuries

Including injuries involving the Achilles, patellar tendon or rotator cuff.

Sprains and Strains

Soft-tissue injuries around a joint or muscle that remain slow to settle.

Sports Injuries

Overuse or impact injuries related to training and competition.

Persistent Joint Symptoms

Ongoing pain, stiffness or swelling that limits movement.

What Is Exosome Therapy?

Ask About a Consultation

Exosome Therapy uses a preparation containing exosomes—microscopic particles that cells release to communicate with one another. Each exosome has a membrane surrounding its contents, which can include proteins, lipids and RNA, a form of genetic material involved in making and regulating proteins.

When another cell takes up an exosome, its contents can influence activity inside that cell. Laboratory studies have shown that RNA carried by exosomes can be transferred between cells and used by the receiving cell to produce proteins. This helps explain how exosomes carry biological messages that can change cell behavior.

The donor-derived preparation used here combines exosomes with cells and extracellular matrix, the natural framework surrounding cells in tissue. It is supplied ready for use, so no tissue is collected from your body. Dr. Abbasi administers the injection at the site of the injury during a single office appointment.

What the Visit Involves

Every step is carried out by Dr. Abbasi, in a single office appointment.

Common Questions

Is this made from my own cells?

No. The preparation is donor-derived and produced by an outside supplier. PRP and Bone Marrow Concentrate are the options made from your own blood or bone marrow, in the office.

How is Exosome Therapy different from Stem Cell Therapy?

Exosomes are not cells. They are microscopic vesicles that cells release to communicate with one another. The preparation used here contains exosomes together with cells and extracellular matrix. Your examination helps determine which option, if any, is appropriate.

How is Exosome Therapy different from PRP?

PRP is prepared from your own blood and uses platelets. Exosome Therapy uses a donor-derived preparation, so nothing is collected from you. Your examination helps determine which option, if either, is appropriate.

Does the procedure hurt?

The injection is brief, and because the preparation is donor-derived, there is no collection step. Afterward, you walk out of the office.

What are extracellular vesicles?

The scientific family exosomes belong to: tiny particles released by cells, each carrying cargo from the cell that made it.

What is extracellular matrix?

The natural framework that surrounds cells in the body's tissues. The preparation used here combines it with exosomes and cells.

Is Exosome Therapy a type of cellular therapy?

Yes. Cellular Therapy is a broader term for treatments that use cells, or what cells release, as the injected material, and Exosome Therapy falls under it.

Can I drive home afterward?

Most patients can. If your specific procedure calls for another arrangement, the office will tell you in advance.

Is this an alternative to surgery?

Sometimes. For some patients, an injection is reasonable to consider before surgery; for others, surgery remains the better option. The consultation is designed to weigh the full range of Orthopedic Care.

Do you take insurance?

Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.

Do I need a referral?

No. You may contact the office directly. If your insurance plan requires a referral, our staff will let you know.

Do I need an MRI before my appointment?

It is not required. Please bring any existing X-rays or MRI results, and Dr. Abbasi will order additional imaging if needed.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Any imaging you already have (the scans themselves, not only the report), a list of the medications you take, your insurance card and a photo ID.

Have a question that is not answered here? Call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment to arrange a visit.

Anyone Can Give an Injection. Knowing Whether You Need One Takes a Diagnosis.

An injection is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. Dr. Abbasi, a double board certified orthopedic surgeon, examines your joint and reviews your X-rays or MRI before anything is recommended. If an injection isn't the right treatment, you'll hear that at the first visit, along with what is.

Before Any Injection, Ask

  • Who examines my joint?

    Dr. Abbasi, a double board certified orthopedic surgeon.

  • Will my X-rays or MRI be reviewed first?

    Yes, before anything is recommended, and more imaging is ordered if it is needed.

  • Is the person giving the injection a medical doctor?

    Yes. Dr. Abbasi performs it, in the office.

  • What happens if an injection isn't enough?

    He also performs surgery, so every option is on the table.
