Joint Pain

Reduce stiffness and joint pain in St. Petersburg. Suncoast Integrative Healthcare offers natural therapies to help you maintain joints as you age or recover.

Some mornings, it’s your knees. Other times, it’s your shoulders or hips. Maybe your hands ache after typing or your ankles hurt after a short walk. Joint pain has a way of showing up at the worst times—and for many people, it doesn’t go away on its own.

At Suncoast Integrative Healthcare, we work with people in St. Petersburg and throughout Pinellas County who are tired of masking the pain with medication and ready to find something that actually helps.

Whether your joint discomfort is from overuse, past injury, or age-related degeneration, our team takes a full-body approach to helping you heal—naturally, without surgery or long recovery times.

Common Joint Pain Conditions We Treat

No two patients are the same, but here are some of the conditions we frequently help manage at our clinic:

Knee pain and osteoarthritis
Hip joint degeneration
Shoulder injuries and frozen shoulder
Elbow pain (including tennis or golfer’s elbow)
Wrist or hand arthritis
Chronic tendonitis or bursitis
Post-injury joint instability

How Chiropractic Care Restores Joint Function Naturally

Here’s the truth: most joint pain starts because something in the body isn’t moving the way it should.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in. Dr. Staubs begins by evaluating how your spine and joints are aligned. Even a small shift in posture or joint position can put uneven pressure on your knees, hips, or shoulders—causing inflammation, tension, and eventually, pain.

Through manual chiropractic adjustments, we gently correct those misalignments so your joints can move the way they’re supposed to. It’s a safe, effective way to improve mobility and reduce stress on painful areas.

But we don’t stop there. If your joint pain is lingering or more intense, we often recommend therapies that support faster healing:

Shockwave Therapy – uses pulsed acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow, loosen tight tissue, and break up scar tissue
Class IV Laser Therapy – delivers deep-penetrating light energy to reduce inflammation and boost your body’s natural repair process

Together, these therapies help calm irritated joints and support the healing process from multiple angles.

Regenerative Medicine for Chronic and Degenerative Joint Pain

When joint pain is chronic, degenerative, or just not responding to conservative care, that’s when we talk about regenerative medicine.

We offer two of the most advanced, non-surgical treatments available today:

Stem Cell Therapy

Dr. Staubs offers stem cell therapy using Wharton’s Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)—which are rich in growth factors and regenerative potential.

These cells, ethically sourced from donated umbilical cords, are injected directly into the affected joint as part of the regenerative treatment process.

Stem cell therapy helps reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and stimulate the regeneration of cartilage and connective tissue.

PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, spun down to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are full of healing factors that help accelerate recovery and ease inflammation.

It’s especially helpful for early joint degeneration, soft tissue injuries, and tendon-related pain.

Neither of these treatments requires surgery or downtime—and both are designed to activate your body’s own healing potential.
