A regenerative medicine practice with clinics in Houston and The Woodlands offering mesenchymal stem cell therapy, connective tissue matrix products and tissue repair treatment.
Houston Spine and Regenerative Medicine is a private practice with two sites in the Houston area: one at 2202 La Branch Street in central Houston and one at 3101 College Park Drive in The Woodlands. The site describes its approach as combining modern medical techniques with basic biological principles to encourage the body's own tissue healing.
Four things are offered: regenerative medicine generally, mesenchymal stem cell therapy, a connective tissue matrix product for damaged tissue and muscle, and tissue repair treatment. The site says mesenchymal stem cells originate in bone marrow and can develop into several tissue types, and describes the aim of treatment as replacing damaged tissue with native tissue and improving strength, flexibility and range of movement.
Two gaps are important. First, although bone marrow is named as the natural origin of mesenchymal cells, the site does not say whether the cells it injects are taken from the patient — autologous, from the patient's own body — or supplied from a donor, which is a fundamental distinction for both safety and regulation. Nor does it say who processes the material or what dose is given. Second, no clinician is named anywhere on the pages reviewed, so a prospective patient cannot check who would be treating them or what their qualifications are.
The site is more measured than some in acknowledging that research into stem cell treatment for arthritis is ongoing, and frames patient education as part of its offer. It publishes no prices and makes no statement about insurance. The range of conditions listed is wide, taking in fibromyalgia and diabetic ulcers alongside joint and disc problems, and a reader should ask on what basis cell treatment is being proposed for any condition outside the orthopaedic core.
The conditions listed range beyond the practice's orthopaedic and spinal core.
The site says it uses mesenchymal stem cells, which it describes as originating in bone marrow and being able to develop into several tissue types, but it does not say whether the cells it injects come from the patient or from a donor.
No clinician is named on the pages reviewed, so qualifications cannot be checked from the website; a prospective patient should ask who would carry out any procedure and what their credentials are.
The practice runs two outpatient clinics, one in central Houston near the Texas Medical Center district and one in The Woodlands to the north of the city. The site does not describe procedure rooms, imaging, or any laboratory for preparing cell products, and does not say where treatment material is processed.
No prices are published and the site makes no statement about insurance cover for any of its treatments, so cost would have to be established by contacting the practice.
