Spine and joint practice in Coral Springs, Florida offering injections of donor placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells alongside spinal surgery and pain procedures.
Florida Spine and Joint Institute is a spine and joint practice based in Coral Springs, Florida. Alongside conventional care such as spinal surgery and sacroiliac joint fusion, it offers stem cell injection therapy for spine and joint problems.
The cells it uses are described as placental matrix-derived mesenchymal stem cells, taken from human placenta tissue donated after caesarean deliveries. The site states these cells are immune privileged, meaning the recipient's immune system is not expected to reject them, and that embryonic stem cells are not used. Treatment is given as an injection into the affected joint, disc, tendon or soft tissue and is described as taking around ten minutes.
One thing to be aware of when reading this site: its stem cell page discusses conditions such as leukaemia, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's disease, diabetes and heart disease in the context of stem cells generally. That is background material about the field rather than a list of what an injection at this clinic is expected to do for you, and it should not be read as a treatment offer for those illnesses.
The stem cell page names a very broad set of illnesses, many of them serious conditions discussed as general background about stem cell science rather than treatments offered here. Ask the clinic directly what evidence supports its injections for your specific diagnosis.
The cells used are from donated tissue, not from the patient's own body.
The stem cell treatment page names no physician; the site carries a separate doctors section.
The practice is associated with Coral Springs, Florida, and the site also carries pages under the name Iris Spine and Joint. No street address, opening hours, year of establishment, languages spoken or international patient service is stated on the pages reviewed.
No prices are published. The site states that treatment cost depends on the type of treatment required and is discussed after consultation, and that insurance does not cover stem cell therapy, so this would be paid for privately.
