A large multi-specialty neuroscience, orthopaedic and spine practice in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, which also offers platelet rich plasma and stem cell injections.
The Center for Neurosciences, Orthopaedics & Spine, which the site abbreviates to CNOS, is a physician-owned specialty practice based at 575 Sioux Point Road in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. According to the site it brings together several specialties under one organisation, including orthopaedics, spine surgery, neurosciences, sports medicine and rehabilitation, and it lists clinic sites across South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. The site states that patients do not need a referral to be seen.
Regenerative treatment is a small part of a much broader surgical and non-surgical practice rather than the focus of the business. The clinic publishes a patient information page on platelet rich plasma and stem cell injections, which describes concentrating platelets and growth factors from the patient's own blood or bone marrow and injecting them at the site of an injury. Readers should note that the practice's main orthopaedics pages describe joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery and spine surgery, and do not set out a separate cell therapy programme.
The site is candid that insurers treat these injections as experimental and do not currently cover them, and says other payment options will be discussed if insurance declines. It describes the risks as very low and side effects as uncommon, but it does not publish outcome data, and a prospective patient would need to ask which specific injection products are used, who performs them and how the cells are prepared.
CNOS does not name individual clinicians as regenerative medicine specialists on the pages reviewed. Its orthopaedics section lists roughly eighteen surgeons and physicians together with physician assistants, nurse practitioners and therapists, so anyone seeking an injection-based treatment would need to ask the clinic which of its doctors provides it.
The conditions below are those named across the practice's orthopaedics and spine pages; the injection page itself refers only generally to injury.
The site states that its platelet rich plasma and stem cell injections use a concentrate of platelets and growth factors prepared from the patient's own blood or bone marrow, spun in a centrifuge and injected at the site of injury.
The site lists around eighteen orthopaedic surgeons and physicians plus physician assistants and nurse practitioners, but does not name any clinician as the provider of its injection treatments, so a prospective patient would need to ask who performs them.
The practice is headquartered at 575 Sioux Point Road in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, in the corner where South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska meet, and the site lists a network of additional clinic locations across the three states including Sioux City, Iowa. The site describes on-site therapy services and advanced diagnostic imaging alongside the consulting rooms, and groups several specialties in the one organisation so that patients can be seen across disciplines. It does not describe an operating theatre, laboratory or cell processing facility on the pages reviewed, and it states no accreditation.
The site publishes no prices. It states that insurance companies still regard these injections as experimental and do not currently cover them, and that other payment options will be discussed if insurance does not pay. Costs for consultations and surgical care are not set out either.
