Physician-led care for residents of The Villages
Staying Active in The Villages: Non-Surgical Joint and Vitality Care
Physician-led, non-surgical options for people who want to keep playing golf and pickleball and stay on their feet. Every plan starts with an evaluation by the doctor.
- Kenny Chantasi, DO, board-certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and in Pain Medicine
- Former Assistant Professor at Columbia University
- Office in Orlando: 2295 S Hiawassee Rd, Suite 103
- Concierge visits available. If the drive is a barrier, Dr. Chantasi can travel to you.
An evaluation first, then a plan
Many people with joint discomfort have been through the same cycle: rest, anti-inflammatories, a steroid injection, then the same problem a few months later. Those steps can ease symptoms for a while. They do not explain why the joint hurts.
Dr. Chantasi trained in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, a specialty built around function: how a joint moves, what loads it, and what is limiting it. The first visit is an examination, a review of any imaging or records, and ultrasound when clinically appropriate.
After that he explains the options, including the ones that do not involve PrimeCell, what each costs, and what the evidence does and does not show. Some people are not candidates for a non-surgical approach, and he will say so.
Three areas of active aging
Joints and movement
Knee, hip, shoulder, and spine. A physician evaluation focused on function, with non-surgical options discussed based on your goals and clinical circumstances.
Energy and metabolic health
Lab work reviewed by a physician, with attention to energy, sleep, weight, and muscle.
Long-term function
One physician looking at the whole picture over time, so the plan for your joints fits the rest of your health.
If the distance is a barrier
The office is in Orlando, and not everyone wants to make that drive. PrimeCell offers concierge services, and Dr. Chantasi can travel to you in The Villages.
Telemedicine is also available for visits that do not need an in-person examination. Tell us in the assessment that you are interested, and our office will go over what can be done at your home, by video, or in the office, and what a concierge visit costs.
Joint & Vitality Assessment
Four short steps. Our office will contact you to go over your answers and next steps.
What to expect from the practice
- You see the physician. Dr. Chantasi does the evaluation himself.
- Written cost estimates before any procedure. PrimeCell is a self-pay practice.
- Plain answers about what is FDA-approved, what is investigational, and what the evidence shows.
- No outcome promises. Individual results vary, and candidacy is determined in person.
