Long Beach office of a Southern California interventional pain group offering stem cell and platelet-rich plasma injections alongside standard pain procedures.
Integrative Sports & Spine is a pain management group with four Southern California offices, one of which is in Long Beach. The practice is staffed by doctors trained in interventional pain medicine and in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), the specialty concerned with restoring function after injury or illness.
Most of what the clinic does is conventional pain treatment - epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, facet joint and sacroiliac injections, radiofrequency ablation (using heat to interrupt a pain nerve) and spinal cord stimulation. Stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP, concentrated platelets from your own blood) are offered as regenerative options within that same menu.
The group's site does not say where the stem cells used come from, and does not give a founding year. Because the practice mainly bills insurance for standard pain procedures, it is worth clarifying which parts of a proposed plan are insured and which are self-pay.
The condition list is broad and includes hard-to-treat problems such as fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome. Ask which treatment is proposed for your specific diagnosis and what evidence supports it.
The website does not name the tissue the stem cells are taken from.
The Long Beach office is at 2650 Elm Ave, Suite 210, Long Beach, CA 90806. Published hours across the group are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, closed at weekends. The group also has offices in Alhambra, Riverside and City of Industry. The site does not state a founding year or describe services for patients travelling from other countries.
No prices are published for stem cell or platelet-rich plasma treatment. The group states that insurance is verified before appointments and that self-pay options and payment plans exist, but no figures are given.
