A North Charleston, South Carolina chiropractic and regenerative medicine clinic offering donor-derived umbilical cord cell injections at a published flat price.
Charleston Pain Relief Center is a clinic at 2294 Otranto Road, North Charleston, South Carolina. It publishes two telephone numbers — (843) 225-2550 for the main office and (843) 604-2276 for new patients — and states it has been in operation for more than eighteen years. Opening hours are split morning and afternoon sessions across Monday to Friday.
According to the site, the clinic combines chiropractic care with a range of injection and device-based treatments: cell therapy using donor material, platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood), exosome therapy, alpha-2 macroglobulin therapy, SoftWave shockwave therapy and laser therapy. The conditions named cover back, knee, hip, shoulder, neck and foot pain, osteoarthritis, neuropathy (nerve pain), carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches and migraines, sports injuries and post-surgical recovery.
This clinic is unusual in this directory for being explicit about both its cell source and its price. The site states that its cell product is a donor-source allograft — allogeneic (from a donor) rather than autologous (from the patient's own body) — specifically a Wharton's jelly tissue allograft, Wharton's jelly being the gelatinous tissue inside the umbilical cord. It states this material is obtained from United States-based regulated tissue suppliers, and that it may be given as a targeted injection into a joint or tendon, or intravenously. The site publishes a price of 3,797 United States dollars, described as all-inclusive for a single joint, with financing from 497 dollars a month.
Two things a reader should weigh. The site markets itself partly as a destination for patients travelling several hours from South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina, and draws a price comparison with clinics in Mexico. Comparisons of that kind are marketing, not evidence of clinical benefit. Separately, the clinician named as performing evaluations and administering the procedures is a nurse practitioner rather than a physician; the pages reviewed name no supervising doctor, which is something a prospective patient may want to ask about, along with the regulatory status of an umbilical cord allograft given intravenously.
The site names a broad mix of musculoskeletal and nerve-related complaints.
The site states plainly that its cell product is donor-derived rather than taken from the patient: an allograft prepared from Wharton's jelly, the gelatinous tissue inside the umbilical cord.
The pages reviewed name one clinician.
The clinic operates from a single site on Otranto Road in North Charleston, with split morning and afternoon clinic sessions from Monday to Friday. The site presents the clinic as a regional destination, saying it draws patients from within roughly three and a half hours' travel across South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina. It does not describe the treatment rooms, state whether injections are performed under ultrasound or other imaging guidance, or claim any facility accreditation.
Unusually for this directory, the site publishes a figure: 3,797 United States dollars, described as an all-inclusive price for treating a single joint, with financing available from 497 dollars a month. The site also draws a comparison with clinics in Mexico charging over 20,000 dollars. A prospective patient should confirm in writing exactly what the all-inclusive figure covers, what a second joint or a repeat course would cost, and whether any part is claimable on insurance.
