This isn't about toughness. Cartilage wears, and repair slows
down with age.
People tell me the same things when they sit down in my office. A hand on the handrail going down. The quiet math before anything
fun, working out what tomorrow is going to cost. Advil kept somewhere easy to reach.
What wears people down isn't the pain, though. It's the feeling of slowly turning into the person who can't keep up. And when they finally get an answer, it's usually some version of "you're bone on bone, and there's nothing to do but wait until it gets bad enough."

Cortisone, shots, and physical therapy quiet the joint for a while. None of them change what's happening inside it, so the relief keeps wearing off.
A surgeon reads the X-ray and says it's time, or to wait until it's bad enough. It's a major operation, with months of recovery before you're back to your day.
A different question, before surgery: can the joint be put in a position to repair itself? It's an in-office injection, and an exam tells you if you're a fit.
Individual experiences, and not everyone is a candidate. Results vary.

Educator and Host, Abundant Health Physical Medicine
I didn't come to this as a believer. I was the skeptic in the room, right up until an illness put me in bed with migraines and an exhaustion I couldn't shake. A friend treated me, I got dramatically better, and I got fascinated by what a body will do when it's finally given the right support. Competitive athletics left me with my own worn joints, and I've used these therapies on myself before recommending them to anybody. I'm a husband and father here in the Quad Cities, so I understand wanting to stay well enough to be there for what matters.
"I'm not going to sell you a procedure. I'll explain it the way I'd want it explained to me, then tell you honestly whether you're a fit. Sometimes the honest answer is no."
Dr. Sinan Gocmen, D.C.



Found him before the surgery
"Abundant Healthcare is a great alternative to healing without surgery. Dr Sinan is professional and knowledgeable about the therapy he provides… I am thankful and blessed I found him before I proceeded with an unnecessary knee replacement surgery."
Mark H.
The scan showed me what was actually wrong
"The scan explained my issues and the treatment showed exactly what I needed and helped me see a way forward. The doctor explained the results… Everyone was nice, professional and friendly."
Lynda S.
After everywhere else
"The first place of many places I've been to that has achieved pain-free knees without a surgical procedure. They looked at my body as a whole, not just the area of pain… this is the place to go before considering going under the knife."
Amanda H.
Back to the stairs
"I had issues with my knees for 2 years. I almost forgot what it felt like to walk upstairs without bracing myself first. Thanks to Dr. Sinan and his staff, my quality of life is dramatically improved without medication or surgery."
Jenny A.
He explained it every step of the way
"I had an amazing experience here. The Dr was very knowledgable and helped me understand my treatment every step of the way. And the staff are all so friendly and welcoming. I felt like part of the family here."
Jennifer K.
Still going, still improving
"Everyone was very helpful and friendly; and treatment I've received so far had great results and I look forward to future treatments."

No. It's a teaching session. Dr. Gocmen explains how the approach works and who it fits, and he turns away the people who aren't a good fit. Nothing gets sold in the class.
Most of what people try is aimed at calming the pain. This class is about what's actually happening inside the joint, and how a doctor decides who's a good fit. There's a real difference between one injection given without imaging, and a plan built around what the imaging shows.
An optional in-office evaluation: an exam, your imaging reviewed with you, and a straight answer on whether you're a good fit. You choose whether to book it. Nothing is scheduled while you watch, and there's no obligation either way.
The class is free. There's a set fee for the evaluation, and Dr. Gocmen states it plainly during the session. Regenerative treatment itself is paid out of pocket and isn't covered by insurance or Medicare, and he's straight about that.
Yes. The class is on demand. Register and you can watch right away, then return to it whenever you like from the link in your email.

You've had the appointment, you've read the pages, and maybe you've already paid for a shot that did nothing. The question you walked in with
is still open. And the joint doesn't hold steady while you wait. One that's
on the edge today is harder to help in two years.
You'll hear the honest answer either way.
