A Portland clinic focused solely on ultrasound-guided orthopaedic injections, using the patient's own fat-derived cells, platelet rich plasma and prolotherapy, with prices published openly.
Cascade Regenerative Medicine is at 6420 South Macadam Avenue, Suite 208, Portland, Oregon, and the site states it was founded in 2023 by its single clinician. Hours are Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm. The practice states that interventional orthopaedic medicine is its sole focus, treating joint pain, arthritis and injuries without surgery, which makes it narrower and more clearly defined than many clinics in this directory.
The cellular treatment offered is microfragmented adipose tissue, usually shortened to MFAT. The site describes mesenchymal stem cells, which it also calls medicinal signalling cells, being present within the matrix of fat cells and collagen in the patient's own fat. A small amount of fat is taken in a minimally invasive procedure, then processed to isolate, clean and concentrate the relevant cells and tissue, all completed on the same day as collection, and injected under ultrasound guidance to support and cushion injured or degenerated structures. This is an autologous approach, meaning everything injected comes from the patient's own body; no donor or birth tissue products are named.
The site is unusually clear about regulatory status, which is useful for comparing options. It states that the procedure involves off-label use of a device approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, that microfragmented adipose tissue is not approved by that agency to treat any medical condition, and that it operates under the human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based product rules that permit same-day use of minimally manipulated tissue from the patient themselves. Other services include platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood), prolotherapy, perineural injections, stellate ganglion block, foot and ankle care and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound. Optional nitrous oxide sedation is available.
The clinician is Samuel G. Oltman, ND, RMSK, a naturopathic physician who also holds the registered musculoskeletal sonographer credential for ultrasound, rather than a medical doctor. Pricing is published openly, which is rare in this field: a new patient visit including a detailed ultrasound examination is listed at 350 United States dollars, perineural injections at 300 dollars for one area and 200 dollars for each additional area, a stellate ganglion block at 800 dollars, and diagnostic ultrasound at 200 dollars per area. A reduced-cost prolotherapy programme is offered for people meeting Medicaid eligibility criteria, at 100 dollars for the first visit and 75 dollars per treatment. The clinician is out of network for insurance, provides superbills that patients may submit themselves without any guarantee of reimbursement, accepts health savings and flexible spending accounts, bills motor accident claims, requires payment at the time of service and does not offer payment plans.
The practice treats orthopaedic and chronic pain conditions; those below are named on its own pages.
The site states that its cellular therapy uses microfragmented adipose tissue taken from the patient's own fat, containing mesenchymal stem cells which it also calls medicinal signalling cells, processed and injected on the same day.
This is a single-clinician practice.
The clinic occupies Suite 208 at 6420 South Macadam Avenue in south west Portland, with hours of Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm. Orthopaedic ultrasound is central to the practice, used both for diagnosis and to guide every injection, and optional nitrous oxide sedation is offered for comfort during procedures. Fat is collected and processed on the premises on the same day, with no external laboratory involved. No accreditation of the clinic is stated.
Unusually for this field, prices are published. The site lists a new patient visit with detailed ultrasound examination at 350 United States dollars, perineural injections at 300 dollars for one area and 200 dollars for each additional area, a stellate ganglion block at 800 dollars, and diagnostic ultrasound at 200 dollars per area, and offers a reduced-cost prolotherapy programme at 100 dollars for the first visit and 75 dollars per treatment for people meeting Medicaid eligibility criteria. The cost of the microfragmented adipose tissue treatment itself is directed to the pricing page rather than quoted in the summaries reviewed. The clinician is out of network for insurance and provides superbills that patients may submit themselves, with no guarantee of payment; health savings and flexible spending accounts are accepted, motor accident claims are billed, fees are due at the time of service and there are no payment plans.
