In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Steve Derrington traces his path from conventional orthopedics to a patient-first regenerative model. He explains where photobiomodulation (red/near-infrared light) fits alongside orthobiologics to reduce pain, speed recovery, and keep athletes—and active patients—moving without defaulting to surgery or steroids. Through practical case examples and clinic-to-home protocols, Dr. Derrington shows how to empower patients with clear options, measurable outcomes, and safer adjuncts that scale inside busy sports-medicine workflows.
Streamlined Takeaways (with emojis)
- 🏃 Beyond the scalpel: PBM + orthobiologics offer non-surgical paths for sport and daily life.
- 🔴 Energy for healing: Red/NIR light supports tissue recovery and pain control when dosed well.
- 🧰 Stacked protocols: Layer PBM with rehab and biologics to amplify results.
- 🧑⚕️ Empower the patient: Teach options, set expectations, and track simple metrics.
- 🏠 Clinic → home: Short, repeatable at-home PBM boosts adherence and durability.
- 🧠 Open mindset: Evaluate new modalities with evidence, safety, and workflow fit.
- 🤝 Team approach: Community, coaching, and consistent follow-up drive long-term wins.
