About
About Dr. Nabity
Dr. Nabity is board certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) and Pain Medicine. After medical school at the University of Nebraska and residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, he began his career focused on the non-surgical management of musculoskeletal, spine, and joint pain.
While building complete treatment plans for his patients, he developed a special interest in improving their overall health rather than treating only the condition causing their pain. That interest led him to become one of the first physicians in Michigan to add regenerative medicine treatments, such as PRP and stem cell injections, along with hormone replacement and peptide therapy, to his treatment options.
Today he leads the practice as founder and CEO and serves as Chief Medical Officer of Forever Labs. He has been involved in research on PRP, autologous stem cells, spinal cord injury, and testosterone replacement.
