Relief for Aching Joints — Using Your Body's Own Cells
MiniTC Microfat Therapy is a simple, in-office regenerative procedure for knee, hip, shoulder, and other joint pain — a thoughtful option for patients who want more than pain medication but aren't ready for surgery.
What Is Microfat Therapy?
Microfat (microfragmented adipose tissue, or MFAT) utilizes a small amount of your own fat tissue, which is gently processed and precisely placed into the affected joint.
Because fat is naturally rich in regenerative cells and acts as a cushion, it supports the joint while calming inflammation. And because it utilizes your own tissue, there is no risk of rejection—providing a natural, root-cause approach to joint relief.
The FLOW of MiniTC
Fast & Simple
The entire procedure takes about an hour, start to finish.
Low Risk
It uses your own adipose tissue, so there's no risk of rejection and little risk of infection.
Office Procedure
Done right here in our Kearney office. No hospital, no surgical setting, no general anesthesia.
Works Better
Microfat carries more regenerative cells than PRP or bone marrow (BMAC), provides natural cushioning, and is anti-inflammatory.
When Pills and Injections Aren't Enough
Microfat may be a good option for patients whose pain hasn't responded well enough to medication or other injections, but who aren't ready for - or want to avoid - surgery. It works better than pain medication and is less risky and less costly than surgery.
Candidacy is determined during a consultation with our medical team. Individual results vary.
