Durango, Colorado clinic offering injections of the patient's own stem cells and platelet-rich plasma for joint, tendon and back pain.
McLaughlin Cell Therapies is a regenerative medicine clinic in Durango, in south-western Colorado. It states that it serves the Four Corners region, covering Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. The clinic offers injection treatments as an alternative to surgery for painful joints, tendons and the spine.
Two treatments are described: stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. The site states that a patient's own stem cells are injected into the problem area. Procedures are said to be carried out at two affiliated facilities in Durango, Animas Spine and Animas Surgical Hospital, rather than only in the clinic office.
The site says Dr McLaughlin trained in cell therapies at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado. It does not give the doctor's full name or listed credentials on the pages reviewed, does not say which tissue the stem cells are taken from - bone marrow, fat or another source - and does not state a founding year, languages spoken, or services for international patients.
The clinic lists a wide range of joint, tendon and spinal problems. Ask specifically what published evidence supports the use of these injections for your own condition.
