A spine surgery practice founded by Dr John Peloza offering autologous stem cell injections for disc and joint pain; the site now points to a Missouri location rather than Dallas.
Center for Spine Care is a spine practice founded by Dr John H. Peloza, an orthopaedic surgeon, and the site states it opened in 1996 with a stated mission of safe, minimally invasive spine treatment. The directory lists it at Dallas, Texas, and the website still carries Dallas references, but prospective patients should note that the site's own locations page now redirects to a separate website under the name Peloza Spine, and its regenerative treatments page is titled for Chesterfield in the St Louis area of Missouri. The Dallas address in this listing may therefore be out of date, and anyone planning a visit should confirm where the practice is currently seeing patients before travelling.
On the treatment itself, the site describes autologous stem cell injections — using cells taken from the patient's own body — together with cellular and tissue grafts. It says these contain mesenchymal stem cells that may develop into different cell types, along with proteins, growth factors and signalling molecules. The wording is appropriately tentative about what the cells may do.
The practice's stated point of difference is length of experience with these injections in the spine: the site says Dr Peloza was one of the first in Dallas to use autologous stem cell injection for spinal disc pain, in 2012, and refers to more than a decade of clinical use. Conditions named include osteoarthritis in several joints, degenerative disc disease, annular tears of the disc, spondylosis, impingement syndrome and overuse problems such as tennis elbow and runner's knee.
What the site does not say is where the cells are taken from — bone marrow is not specified on the pages reviewed — how they are processed, what the final preparation contains, or what it costs. The site also refers in passing to a product called BioBurst Rejuv without explaining what it is, whether it is donor-derived or who supplies it, which a prospective patient would need to clarify.
The conditions listed centre on the spine but extend to other joints and overuse injuries.

The founding surgeon is named; one further provider appears on the site without credentials.
The site describes a practice built around minimally invasive spine treatment over more than twenty years, with injections given in an outpatient setting. It is not clear from the site where the practice is currently based: the directory lists Dallas, Texas, the site's regenerative treatments page is headed for Chesterfield in the St Louis area of Missouri, and the locations page redirects to a separate Peloza Spine website. No address, telephone number or laboratory detail was found on the pages reviewed.
The site publishes no prices for stem cell injections or tissue grafts and makes no statement about insurance cover for them. Spine surgery at such a practice would normally be billed to insurance while regenerative injections often are not, but this would need to be confirmed directly.
