A Minneapolis clinic, run by a chiropractor and a nurse practitioner, offering donated umbilical cord tissue, platelet and hyaluronic acid injections for joint pain.
Minneapolis Regenerative Medicine describes itself as one of Minnesota's leading regenerative medicine providers since 2019. It is at 635 9th Street SE, Suite 115, Minneapolis, and the site says it operates in partnership with Ambiente Gallerie, described as a downtown Minneapolis wellness centre. It was founded by Kari Boudreau, a chiropractor, after she had regenerative treatment herself; she is listed as owner and chief executive.
Three treatments are named: hyaluronic acid injections, platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood), and what the site calls structural tissue matrix. That last is the main cell-related offering, and the site is unusually clear about what it is — a cryogenically preserved human birth tissue allograft derived from the umbilical cord, which means allogeneic, from a donor. The site says the tissue comes from medically screened, consenting mothers following full-term caesarean births, and describes the product as minimally manipulated and free of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, a preservative).
The site states the product contains extracellular matrix components — elastin, hyaluronan, collagen fibres and fibronectin — along with growth factors, cytokines and nanoparticles. It is worth noting what that description implies: the product is presented as a tissue matrix carrying signalling molecules rather than as a preparation of living stem cells, and no live cell count is claimed. The site argues umbilical cord tissue is preferable to taking tissue from the patient, which it says means invasive harvesting of older material, and preferable to amniotic or placental sources, which it says carry debris and allergy risk. Those are the clinic's own comparisons rather than settled science.
The claims made are strong and should be read carefully. The site says the treatment can eliminate pain by directing tissue repair, that healing is faster, that the procedure takes about ten minutes, that physical capability increases and that the risk of future injury falls. No study or outcome data is cited for any of this, and a figure of more than five thousand patients treated is given without detail. Conditions are described only in general terms. The only price published is a forty-nine US dollar new patient offer covering consultation, examination and a treatment plan, which the site calls a three hundred dollar value; the treatment itself is not priced.
The site describes conditions in broad terms rather than naming specific diagnoses.
The site states plainly that its main product is a cryogenically preserved allograft of donated umbilical cord tissue rather than cells taken from the patient.
The clinic is led by a chiropractor and a nurse practitioner rather than by a physician, which is worth knowing when comparing providers.
The clinic is at 635 9th Street SE, Suite 115, Minneapolis, and the site says it operates in partnership with Ambiente Gallerie, described as a downtown Minneapolis wellness centre — so the setting is a wellness venue rather than a standalone medical facility. Because the tissue product is a cryogenically preserved allograft bought in from a tissue supplier, no on-site processing is required; the site does not name the supplier, describe how the product is stored, or mention any accreditation.
The only price published is a forty-nine US dollar new patient offer covering consultation, examination and a treatment plan, which the site describes as a three hundred dollar value. No price is given for the injections themselves and nothing is said about insurance, so the full cost would have to be established at the consultation.
