An Arizona orthopedic pain practice with sites in Peoria and Chandler offering image-guided stem cell injections as an alternative to surgery.
AZ Orthopedic is an orthopedic and pain practice in Arizona with locations in Peoria and Chandler. It treats patients directly. The site states the practice has operated since 2001. Its stem cell page presents injection treatment as an option for people with long-standing joint or soft tissue pain that has not improved with other treatment, and positions it as an alternative to an operation.
The process described on the site has four steps. Cells are collected in a minimally invasive way, processed in a laboratory, injected into the affected area using imaging guidance so the needle can be placed accurately, and the patient is then seen at follow-up appointments. Written instructions are given for before and after the procedure.
The practice also provides general orthopedic injury care and sports medicine, and runs an online patient portal. The stem cell page describes the aim of treatment as encouraging tissue repair and reducing inflammation. It is worth noting that treatments using amniotic or umbilical cord material are not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the orthopedic uses commonly advertised, so ask the clinic what regulatory status applies to the specific product they would use in your case.
Three different cell sources are named, two of which come from donors rather than from the patient.
The practice has locations in Peoria and Chandler, Arizona, with the telephone number (480) 659-7147 published on the site. The site states the practice has been operating since 2001. A full street address, opening hours, languages spoken and any help for patients travelling from abroad are not given on the page reviewed.
No prices are published and no consultation fee is stated. Stem cell injections are generally not covered by insurance in the United States, so ask directly what the treatment costs and what is included.
