What we focus on at our Clifton office
Most people who come to this office have a clear goal in mind. They want to move through the day without bracing, sleep without aching, and pick up the activities they have been putting off. Regenerative medicine makes that goal realistic by supporting the body as it repairs the tissue behind your pain rather than masking the feeling of it.
Dr. Etelzon often pairs treatments from the first visit, so a single area can be calmed and rebuilt at the same time. PRP and bone marrow concentrate work on the underlying tissue while MLS laser therapy and shockwave reduce inflammation and improve blood flow around the joint. For many patients, steady progress comes without pills, surgery, or a long stretch of physical therapy.
No pills. No surgery. No Physical Therapy.

A credential worth asking about
A certified Regenexx provider in Clifton
Regenexx is a national network of physicians who follow specific protocols for how cells are collected, concentrated, and placed. Becoming a certified provider takes training and ongoing review, and only a small number of doctors in northern New Jersey hold the credential. Dr. Etelzon is one of them.
For you, that means your treatment follows a tested, standardized method rather than a one-off approach, and that the lab work behind your injection is held to the same standard used across the Regenexx network.

Clinical OversightHow Dr. Etelzon approaches care
A plan built around your joint, not a menu
Two patients with knee pain rarely need the same thing. Dr. Etelzon uses fluoroscopy and ultrasound to see exactly where the problem sits before anything is placed, then decides whether one treatment or a combination will give the best result. The imaging is part of why placement is precise and why so many patients avoid a more invasive route.
"I want patients to leave with a plan that fits their body and their life, not a generic protocol. When I can see the joint clearly and pair the right treatments, people get back to the things they love much sooner than they expected."
