Overview

Derrington Orthopedics, also described as Interventional Sports and Spine, is a private practice in Carlsbad and Laguna Hills, California, led by Dr. Stephen Derrington. It treats patients directly. The site states plainly that the practice is not enrolling patients in or conducting clinical trials or research, so treatments are offered as ordinary private care rather than as part of a study.

The approach is non-surgical. Patients receive an assessment covering history, physical examination and review of imaging, and treatment is delivered by injection guided by imaging so that the material is placed precisely. Services listed are prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, Regenexx procedures, MLS laser therapy and image-guided injections generally.

The site describes the treatments as using the patient's own cells and healing agents, and it is a Regenexx-affiliated practice, but it does not spell out on the pages reviewed whether bone marrow or fat tissue is used, nor does it mention umbilical cord products or exosomes. The practice is listed as a member of the Interventional Orthopedics Foundation.
