Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: Nov 2026

General information only

The content on the PeakMD Regenerative website, including text, images, videos, articles, research summaries and frequently asked questions, is provided for general educational purposes only. It isn't medical advice and isn't a substitute for an individual evaluation, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified physician. Always seek the advice of your physician with any questions about a medical condition.

No physician-patient relationship

Using this website, completing the intake questionnaire, submitting a contact form, or communicating with PeakMD by email or phone does not create a physician-patient relationship. A physician-patient relationship is established only after a consultation with Dr. Graeme Matthewson, MD, FRCSC.

Regenerative and orthobiologic treatments

Information on platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), intra-osseous injection, microfat, protein concentrate, adipose-derived cell therapy and related orthobiologic procedures describes services performed as part of the practice of medicine.

These procedures are not FDA-approved to prevent, treat, cure or mitigate any disease or condition. Adipose-derived cell therapy (ADSC/SVF) is not FDA-approved for any orthopedic condition. It's offered selectively under the licensed practice of medicine, with full informed consent, including a separate signed consent document.

Individual results vary

Outcomes differ from person to person. No treatment, program or procedure described on this website is guaranteed to produce a specific result, including pain relief, return to activity, cartilage regeneration or avoidance of surgery. Research findings describe groups of patients and don't predict individual results.

Candidacy

Candidacy for any treatment or program is determined only after an individual consultation, including a review of your history, examination and imaging. Criteria published on this website are general guidance, not a determination of eligibility. The intake questionnaire doesn't diagnose any condition or determine candidacy.

Alternatives

All patients should discuss the risks, benefits and alternatives of any treatment with their physician, including surgery, physical therapy, medication, injections and other conservative care. Regenerative treatment isn't appropriate for every patient or condition.

Patient stories and testimonials

Patient stories reflect individual experiences shared with consent. They don't represent or guarantee the outcome any other patient will have.

Insurance

Regenerative orthopedic treatments are generally not covered by commercial insurance or Medicare. Any reimbursement you seek from your insurer is your responsibility and isn't guaranteed.

External links

Links to outside research or websites are provided for education. PeakMD Regenerative doesn't control and isn't responsible for the content of external sites.

Emergencies

This website and its forms aren't monitored for emergencies. If you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. If you have sudden severe pain, can't bear weight, have a hot, swollen joint with fever, or suspect a tendon rupture, seek urgent care.

Medical review

Clinical content on this website is reviewed by Dr. Graeme Matthewson, MD, FRCSC, board-certified orthopedic surgeon.
