A chiropractor-led Tulsa clinic offering injections of donor umbilical cord cells for joint and back pain, alongside chiropractic, functional medicine and weight loss care.
Lifestyle Medical Center is a single-site clinic at 4505 S Harvard Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma, contactable on (918) 747-5555 and listed as open Monday to Thursday, 9am to 6pm and closed from Friday to Sunday. The practice is led by Dr Gerry D. Langston, a chiropractor who the site says is board certified as a chiropractic internist; readers should note that a doctor of chiropractic is not a medical doctor, and the site does not name any physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant alongside him. The clinic's wider offering is chiropractic and rehabilitative care, functional medicine for problems such as fatigue, digestive and hormonal complaints, medical weight loss, and treatment for neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, thyroid imbalance, headaches and injuries after road accidents.
The cell treatment offered here differs from most clinics in this directory in a way a patient should understand. The site states that the cells are donor cells, taken from the umbilical cords of healthy mothers and babies, then treated and processed into a serum that is injected into the damaged tissue. That makes the product allogeneic - from a donor, not from the patient's own body - which is a different regulatory and safety category from treatments using a patient's own blood or bone marrow. The site does not name the supplier or laboratory, does not say how the donated tissue is screened or processed, does not state the cell content of the serum, and says nothing about the regulatory status of the product. Those are all questions a prospective patient would need to put in writing before agreeing to treatment.
The conditions listed are musculoskeletal: knee injuries, osteoarthritis, hip pain, shoulder injuries, back pain, Achilles tendon problems, ankle and foot pain, wrist and elbow problems and plantar fasciitis. The site states that its regenerative treatment promotes healing without reliance on medication and that in many cases it can help a patient avoid surgery. Those are claims made by the clinic; no published evidence is cited and no record of its own patients' results is given, so they are reported here rather than endorsed.
The practice says it has more than forty years of clinical experience but does not give a founding year. No prices or financing terms are published anywhere on the pages reviewed, and there is no statement about insurance. Given that donor cell products are generally not reimbursed, a prospective patient should ask for a written quotation covering the whole course, and should ask what happens, clinically and financially, if the injection does not help.
The conditions listed for the cell injections are joint, tendon and back problems.
The site states that its cell treatment uses donor cells obtained from the umbilical cords of healthy mothers and babies, processed into a serum and injected into the damaged tissue to supply what it calls the building blocks for repair.
Only one clinician is named, and he is a chiropractor rather than a medical doctor.
The clinic occupies premises at 4505 S Harvard Avenue in Tulsa and is described as an outpatient setting combining chiropractic and rehabilitation facilities with consulting rooms used for functional medicine, weight management and injections. Because the cell product is described as arriving already processed from a donor source, no on-site processing laboratory is implied, and the site does not mention one. Nothing is said about imaging, guidance used during injections, accreditation or certification, or the languages spoken. Listed hours are Monday to Thursday, 9am to 6pm, with the clinic closed Friday to Sunday.
No prices, packages or financing terms are published, and the site says nothing about insurance. Because the treatment uses a donor-derived product that is generally not reimbursed, a prospective patient should assume it is self-funded and ask for a written quotation covering the consultation, each injection, the number of injections expected and any follow-up.
