Non-surgical solutions to reduce pain and enhance performance
Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment designed to help your body repair itself, naturally. By stimulating the healing process, it strengthens damaged ligaments and tendons—the foundation of joint stability and mobility. Ideal for active individuals, prolotherapy restores strength, relieves pain, and gets you back to doing what you love, whether that’s running trails, skiing mountains, or thriving in your daily pursuits. For those who value optimal performance and long-term health, prolotherapy offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to keep you at your peak.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that takes healing to the next level. Building on the principles of prolotherapy, PRP uses your own concentrated platelets and growth factors to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote regeneration. This potent solution is ideal for active, high-performing individuals who demand faster recovery and long-lasting results. Whether you’re conquering mountains or pushing limits in daily life, PRP offers a powerful, natural way to restore mobility and vitality.
For those pushing through chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout, consider the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB). Think of it as a neurologic reset for your overactive fight-or-flight system. This treatment works not on the mind, but directly on the body's stress switch—the stellate ganglion—to quickly reduce the overwhelming physical symptoms of stress. By calming the nervous system, SGB can provide a clearer mental state, improved sleep, and reduced anxiety.
As an NCAA gymnast, Dr. Egerter experienced his share of injuries — and the frustration of finding that standard medical care fell short when it came to real recovery. From this place of frustration he began searching for modalities to improve human performance.
In Osteopathic medical school he studied with premier Osteopaths throughout the country and went on to residencies in Osteopathic Neuromuscular Medicine and Emergency Medicine followed by fellowship in Integrative Pain Medicine.
Alongside his passion for non-surgical orthopedics, Dr. Egerter's focus expanded after serving as a frontline emergency physician in New York City during the 2020 COVID pandemic. That experience shaped a deep commitment to caring for those living with acute and long-COVID, ME/CFS, PTSD, and nervous system dysregulation. He specializes in neural therapy, regenerative medicine, and Osteopathic manipulation to help calm overactive nervous and immune systems.
Dr. Egerter has lectured for the Osteopathic Cranial Academy and Osteopathic Association of Prolotherapy and Regenerative Medicine.
"Dr. Alex is the very best! He is thoughtful, talented and listens to my concerns. I had a herniated disc in my back and was in pain to the point that I had trouble walking. After several sessions my pain was gone and I was able to resume my normal activities and start exercising again."
"I had multiple herniated and bulging disc in my lower back. Dr. Alex performed Prolotherapy on my back over several month period and adjustments. It helped me tremendously and I able to function and go back to work. He was great!"
"I have been a patient of Dr Alex for over one year now and with his adjustments and prolotherapy my back pain is close to zero, and I’m in my fourth pregnancy! I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's rare to find a physician who is an expert at both contemporary and regenerative medicine...it's even harder to find someone who listens and is geared towards getting me results. Whether it's debilitating pain to optimizing my health, he always gets me to where I need to go. Thanks Dr. E!"
