Overview
Columbia Pain Management, P.C. is an Oregon pain medicine group with clinics the site lists in Hood River, The Dalles, Milwaukie, Tualatin and the Portland or Beaverton area. The site describes it as a licensed Regenexx provider, Regenexx being a commercial network of clinics using a defined set of injection protocols that use the patient's own cells.
Most of what the site offers is conventional interventional pain medicine: minimally invasive spine procedures including kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures, the Vertiflex and MILD procedures, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion neuromodulation, electrodiagnostic nerve studies, and a buprenorphine programme for patients managing opioid dependence. It also lists pain education and counselling.
On the regenerative side, the site states that Regenexx procedures involve precise injections of the patient's own repair cells to support the body's own healing. The two preparations it names are platelet rich plasma and platelet lysate, both prepared from the patient's own blood, and bone marrow concentrate, drawn from the patient's own bone marrow. The site does not describe any donor or umbilical cord product.
The practice names a large clinical team of board-certified physicians, physician associates and nurses, which is unusual among clinics offering cell-based injections and makes credentials easier for a prospective patient to check. The site does not publish prices, and does not say whether the Regenexx procedures are covered by insurance — a question worth asking, since such procedures are commonly self-funded.
