The Problem
Most patients with joint or back pain are told they only have two options:
medications or surgery.
But those options don’t fix the problem they mask it or cut it out. At Pinnacle, we’ve developed a different solution.
The GPF METHOD™ is a proprietary, non-surgical process that uses your body’s healing power plus targeted regenerative medicine to help you get pain free, stay active, and avoid invasive procedures.
Whether you’re Struggling with
Degenerative Arthritis of the Knees, Hips, or Spine
Chronic Neck or Back Pain
Shoulder Pain or Rotator Cuff Injuries
Degenerative Arthritis of the Knees, Hips, or Spine
Chronic Neck or Back Pain
Shoulder Pain or Rotator Cuff Injuries
The GPF Method
The ONLY non-surgical method to pain relief.
Exclusively at Pinnacle Integrative Health
Why the GPF METHOD™ Is Different
What makes GPF unique isn’t just what we use but how we combine it.
Our 3 Phase Regenerative System is Prepare, Repair and Stabilize
A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin): removes destructive enzymes that erode joint cartilage
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): activates healing with your own growth factors
Ozone/Prolozone: reduces inflammation and increases oxygenation of damaged tissue
Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cells: ethically sourced, young, high-concentration regenerative cells
Photobiomodulation Therapy: supercharges mitochondria to accelerate repair
Precision-Guided Peptide Protocols: reduce systemic inflammation and promote regeneration
Each protocol is customized to your pain, injury history, and diagnostic findings. Nothing is one-size-fits-all. And it’s only available here at Pinnacle Integrative Health.

No more cortisone, no more pain pills, and I can finally sleep without back pain.
I didn’t want surgery on my shoulder. GPF gave me an alternative—and it worked.
