Our Philosophy

We believe in treating the athlete, not just the injury. By combining advanced diagnostics, personalized care plans, and regenerative innovation, we help active individuals return stronger.

Here's what we know: no two recoveries look the same. Your body, your goals, your lifestyle, your history — they all matter in how we approach your care. That's why we start every relationship by really listening to what you need and where you want to go. From there, we build a treatment plan that's as unique as you are, focused on getting you back to full strength for the long haul, not just patching things up for now. Our mission isn't just getting you back to baseline; it's building the resilience that keeps you performing at your best for years to come.

INNOVATION MEETS MASTERY

Paragon brings you tomorrow's treatments today. We combine the latest advances in regenerative medicine with masterful clinical application, giving you access to breakthrough treatments that can help accelerate healing and deliver game-changing results.

THE ATHLETE’S MINDSET

We understand that athletic injuries aren't just physical setbacks — they're threats to your identity, goals, and career. Our deep knowledge of sport-specific injury patterns helps us diagnose accurately and treat your injury with the urgency and precision it deserves.

DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS

Advanced imaging, movement analysis, and biomarker testing guide our individualized protocols. Your treatment plan is built on evidence, not assumptions. We look beyond the obvious to uncover the root causes and potential solutions that others might miss.

SOLUTIONS BUILT TO LAST

Healing is only the beginning: we don't just treat injuries — we invest in your long-term performance. Through ongoing partnership, injury prevention strategies, and strength-building protocols, we help build a solid foundation for decades of peak performance and active living.

SAME-DAY DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
We utilize advanced in-office ultrasound and digital X-ray technology to provide immediate answers, eliminating the delays and uncertainty of external referrals. Real-time ultrasound shows detail MRI can’t match, while digital X-ray gives clear views of bones and joints—together enabling precise treatment planning
FDA-COMPLIANT MEDICAL FACILITY
We maintain FDA-compliant standards throughout our facility, ensuring that all regenerative medicine procedures adhere to the most stringent safety and quality standards. At Paragon, we aim to consistently deliver the safest, most effective regenerative medicine treatments available to each patient we care for
THE OCELOT NANO ADVANTAGE
We offer the Ocelot Nano Procedure by Tendonova — a minimally invasive, in-office treatment developed at Georgia Tech to address chronic tendon pain. Using advanced nano-powered technology, it precisely targets and removes damaged tendon tissue, stimulating natural healing and long-term relief.
ON-SITE REGENERATIVE THERAPIES
Our facility is equipped for the full spectrum of regenerative medicine treatments, including Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) processing, bone marrow aspirate concentration, and adipose-derived stem cell preparation. This delivers the highest quality biologics prepared fresh for superior treatment outcomes
