Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy services offered in Heart of Hendersonville Indian Lake Blvd, Hendersonville, TN.
Hormonal changes can directly influence bone density, inflammatory response, and overall musculoskeletal stability. At Comprehensive Arthritis Care, bio-identical hormone pellet therapy using the SottoPelle® Method is offered as a clinically monitored option to support hormone balance in both men and women, particularly those navigating perimenopause, menopause, or age-related bone loss. When hormone levels are stabilized, patients may experience improved energy, inflammation balance, and support for long-term bone and joint health.
Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy uses plant-derived hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. These pellets are placed just beneath the skin in a brief in-office procedure. Once placed, they release hormones steadily over time to help maintain consistent levels without the peaks and valleys that can occur with other delivery methods.
The SottoPelle® Method is a medically guided hormone pellet protocol that relies on lab-based dosing, medical history, and follow-up testing to determine individualized pellet therapy. Rather than using standard dosing amounts, this method calculates the exact hormone levels each patient needs to maintain stability over time. At Comprehensive Arthritis Care, pellet therapy using the SottoPelle® Method is integrated into your broader rheumatologic care plan, with attention to bone density, inflammatory markers, and systemic wellness.
Hormones influence bone remodeling and inflammation regulation throughout the body. Declining hormone levels — particularly during perimenopause and menopause — can contribute to reduced bone density and increased inflammatory activity, which may impact arthritis progression and recovery. Pellet therapy is not a direct treatment for arthritis but may serve as a supportive therapy to complement an existing treatment plan.
The process begins with comprehensive lab work and an evaluation of your current health status. If therapy is appropriate, small pellets are inserted under the skin in a straightforward, in-office procedure. These pellets gradually dissolve, releasing hormones consistently over time. Follow-up lab testing ensures the dosage remains appropriate, and adjustments are made if needed.
Pellet therapy may be considered for both men and women experiencing shifts in hormone levels, changes in bone density, inflammatory response concerns, or symptoms associated with perimenopause or menopause. Suitability is determined after reviewing lab results, medical history, and overall treatment goals.
While pellet therapy is not designed to treat arthritis specifically, hormone stabilization may support the body’s ability to regulate inflammation. Under rheumatologic supervision, pellet therapy using the SottoPelle® Method can be used as part of an integrative approach to long-term bone and joint wellness.
Pellet placement is completed in-office with minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities shortly after the procedure. Ongoing monitoring is an essential part of the SottoPelle® Method. Lab work and scheduled follow-up visits ensure that hormone levels remain stable and aligned with your overall health plan.
Pellet therapy is performed under medical supervision with established safety protocols. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient and is only initiated after confirming that it is appropriate based on lab findings and health status. Continuous monitoring helps ensure safety and precision in dosing over time.
