Northern Indiana osteopathic practice offering fat-derived stem cell injections, prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma under ultrasound guidance for joint and spine pain.
Corrective Care is an osteopathic pain and regenerative medicine practice in northern Indiana associated with Dr Mark S. Cantieri, a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. The practice has been based in the Mishawaka and Granger area, and the website indicates Dr Cantieri now works from an address on North Fir Road in Granger.
The stem cell procedure described uses your own fat. Fatty tissue is taken from the body, the cells are separated from the surrounding tissue and processed in a sterile closed system, then injected into the target area under ultrasound guidance so the needle can be placed accurately. The site says the whole procedure normally takes under three hours and is done in a single visit. Because the material comes from your own body, the practice notes there is no risk of the immune system rejecting it. The site is explicit that it does not use embryonic stem cells, placental tissue or umbilical cord products — all cells come from the patient.
Alongside stem cell injections the practice offers prolotherapy (injection of an irritant solution intended to prompt a local repair response), platelet-rich plasma made from your own blood, sometimes combined with the fat-derived cells, and osteopathic manipulation. Dr Cantieri is named with his qualification, which allows his registration to be checked independently.
All cells come from the patient's own fat; no donor or birth-tissue products are used.
The address given on the stem cell page is 7221 N. Fir Road, Granger, IN 46530, in the South Bend and Mishawaka area of northern Indiana, with a contact number of (574) 968-5166. The site indicates Dr Cantieri has relocated his practice to the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre premises at that Granger address; the Corrective Care practice has also been listed at Park Place West in Mishawaka. Opening hours, founding year, languages spoken and arrangements for international patients are not stated. Procedures are described as day cases taking under three hours.
No prices are published for stem cell therapy, prolotherapy or platelet-rich plasma. Fat-derived cell procedures are usually paid for by the patient, so ask for a written quote covering the harvest, processing and injection, and any follow-up.
