A non-surgical orthopaedic clinic in the Chattanooga area of Tennessee offering fat-derived stem cell injections combined with platelet rich plasma for joint and spine pain.
Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics presents itself as a non-surgical alternative for joint and spine pain, with a main office in Chattanooga, Tennessee and a second, appointment-only office in Ocoee. This directory entry is filed under the Ocoee site, but note that the clinic's main premises and published opening hours are at 6035 Shallowford Road, Suite 101, Chattanooga; the Ocoee office at 134 Creekside Drive, Suite 3 is described on the site as by appointment only and shares the same telephone line.
The cell treatment described is autologous, meaning the cells come from the patient's own body. The site states that stem cells are harvested by liposuction from the patient's abdomen and that these fat-derived cells are then blended with platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated platelets prepared from the patient's own blood) before being injected into injured or degenerated joints. The clinic presents this combination as its regenerative approach rather than offering the two separately.
The conditions listed are wide-ranging within musculoskeletal medicine: knee pain and osteoarthritis, shoulder problems including rotator cuff and labral tears and arthritis, hip pain and hip labral tears, low back and neck pain including bulging or herniated discs, facet joint syndrome, sacroiliac joint syndrome and sciatica, and soft tissue and tendon injuries. The site also offers an orthopaedic functional medicine programme.
No clinician is named on the pages reviewed, and no credentials are given. For a treatment involving liposuction and cell processing, that is a significant gap: a prospective patient would need to establish who performs the fat harvest, who prepares the cells, what their qualifications are and where the processing happens. The site publishes no prices and makes no statement about insurance, regulatory status or outcome data.
The clinic lists a broad range of joint and spinal pain problems it treats without surgery.
The site states that the patient's own stem cells are harvested by liposuction from the abdomen, then blended with platelet rich plasma and injected into the injured or degenerated joint.
No clinician is named anywhere on the pages reviewed, including on the stem cell and contact pages; a prospective patient would need to ask who performs the liposuction harvest and the injections and what their qualifications are.
The practice operates two outpatient offices in south-eastern Tennessee. The main site, described on the site as the Chattanooga Wellness Center, is at 6035 Shallowford Road, Suite 101, Chattanooga, and publishes clinic hours on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, morning and afternoon. The second site, the Ocoee Wellness Center at 134 Creekside Drive, Suite 3, is by appointment only and uses the same telephone number. Because the procedure described involves liposuction and on-the-day cell preparation, a prospective patient would want to establish where and under what conditions that is carried out; the site does not describe a theatre, laboratory or accreditation.
The site publishes no prices and makes no statement about cost, insurance or payment for the stem cell or platelet rich plasma treatment. A prospective patient would have to telephone the clinic for a figure.
