Hospital-based regenerative medicine service at Emory Healthcare's Sports Medicine Center in Atlanta, using patients' own bone marrow and fat cells.
Emory Sports Medicine Center is part of Emory Healthcare, a large academic health system in Atlanta, Georgia. Its regenerative medicine service is delivered through the Emory Orthopaedics and Spine Center and the Emory Sports Medicine Complex in Brookhaven. Unlike a standalone private clinic, this is a hospital and university-affiliated programme, so treatment sits alongside conventional orthopaedic and sports medicine care.
The treatments described on the site use the patient's own tissue. Cells are taken either from bone marrow in the hip or from fat (adipose) tissue in the abdomen or flank, processed, and then injected into the affected joint or tendon. Injections are given under ultrasound guidance, which lets the physician see the needle and the target tissue in real time. The site presents platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a treatment some patients may have tried before considering these procedures.
The service is aimed at people with osteoarthritis or long-standing tendon problems. Emory notes that people who live within about three hours of Atlanta are seen in person for consultation, and that records and imaging can be reviewed remotely for people further away. The site does not state a year the programme began, does not list languages spoken, and does not describe a formal international patient service.
All cell sources described come from the patient's own body; the site does not mention donor, umbilical cord, or exosome products.
Care is provided through the Emory Orthopaedics and Spine Center in Atlanta and the Emory Sports Medicine Complex at 1968 Hawks Lane, Suite 200, Brookhaven, Georgia 30329. Emory states that patients living within roughly three hours of Atlanta are asked to attend in person for consultation, while those further away may have their records and imaging reviewed remotely first. Financial counsellors are available to discuss cost and insurance. Opening hours, year of establishment, languages spoken and international patient arrangements are not stated on the page.
No prices are published. Emory states that cost varies and is determined by which injections are performed, that insurance coverage is assessed case by case, and that financial counsellors can discuss cost before treatment.
