A Scottsdale injection-based practice offering bone marrow stem cell concentrate, prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma for joint, spine and sports problems.
Arizona Prolotherapy is a private clinic at 8300 N Hayden Road in Scottsdale, Arizona. It treats patients directly and is not a research laboratory. The whole practice is built around injection treatments for problems of the joints, spine, tendons and ligaments, with no surgery offered.
The stem cell treatment described on the site is bone marrow aspirate concentrate, usually shortened to BMAC. Bone marrow is drawn from the patient's own pelvis in the clinic, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the cells it contains, and injected the same day into the painful area. The site states that the collection takes about ten minutes and that the cells are not grown, altered or stored between collection and injection. Because the material comes from the patient's own body, the site describes it as carrying no risk of rejection.
Alongside bone marrow concentrate the clinic offers prolotherapy, in which an irritant solution is injected into an injured ligament or tendon, platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's blood, a broader category it calls regenerative injection therapy, and mesotherapy. Injections are placed using diagnostic ultrasound so the needle position can be seen. The practice is described as naturopathic orthopedics.
All cell material described comes from the patient's own body; no donor, umbilical cord or fat-derived products are named.
The clinic is at 8300 N Hayden Road, Suite A111, Scottsdale, AZ 85258, telephone 480-922-1101. Published hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am to 5pm Mountain Standard Time; the site does not list Wednesday hours. There is a page for out-of-town patients, though the practical help offered is not spelled out. The year the practice opened and the languages spoken are not stated.
No prices are published for bone marrow concentrate, platelet-rich plasma or prolotherapy, and no consultation fee is listed. Ask what the full course costs, since injection treatments are often repeated.
