Our Commitment to Transparent Care

Understanding the cost of medical care shouldn’t be confusing or stressful. At Desert Spine and Sports Physicians, we believe patients deserve clear, upfront pricing — especially for procedures that may not be covered by insurance.

Our cash pricing model removes uncertainty. You’ll know your cost before treatment, without surprise bills, hidden facility fees, or insurance-related delays.

This approach allows you and your physician to focus on what matters most: selecting the right treatment for your condition and getting you back to full function.

Regenerative Injection Therapies

Regenerative treatments use your body’s natural healing mechanisms to reduce pain and improve function. These procedures are typically not covered by insurance, which is why we offer clear, upfront pricing.

All regenerative procedures are performed under image guidance for precision and safety.

What are the different types of regenerative injection therapies?

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): A therapy that concentrates your own platelets to accelerate healing

  • BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate): Stem-cell-rich fluid drawn from the patient's own bone marrow to support tissue repair

  • Prolotherapy: A dextrose solution injected into weakened or damaged tissue to stimulate the body's natural repair response and restore stability

PRP
Joint or Tendon Injections:
$950 (one site)

More than one site:
$1,650 total
PRP + BMAC
Joint or Tendon Injections:

Price varies based on region treated.

Spinal Procedures

These image-guided spine procedures target the exact source of back, neck, or nerve pain. Using fluoroscopic guidance (live X-ray) for precision, they’re ideal for conditions like disc herniations, spinal stenosis, facet pain, and sacroiliac dysfunction—helping relieve pain and restore function without surgery.
