A Kansas City area practice offering ultrasound-guided injections of the patient's own bone marrow or fat-derived cells for joint, tendon and cartilage problems.
Motus Biologics is a regenerative medicine practice serving the Kansas City area from an office in Overland Park, Kansas, despite being listed in this directory under Kansas City, Missouri. Its focus is narrow in a helpful way: injection treatment for musculoskeletal problems, organised on the site by body region — shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, foot and ankle, and neck and back.
The site states plainly that it uses the patient's own cells, which makes the treatment autologous (from the patient's own body) rather than donor-derived. It names bone marrow and fat tissue as the two sources, and refers to mesenchymal cells and haematopoietic (blood-forming) cells as the types involved. It also says the concentrate contains growth factors similar to those in platelet rich plasma along with cytokines, which are signalling proteins. Platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood) is offered separately, as is Tenex, a percutaneous procedure for tendon problems.
The process is set out in three steps: harvesting cells from the patient, concentrating them in a centrifuge in much the same way as platelet rich plasma is prepared, and injecting them under ultrasound guidance. That is a reasonably clear description by the standards of this field, though the site does not say how much marrow or fat is taken, what cell numbers result, how many injections a course involves, or what happens if there is no improvement.
The site says the aim is to regenerate soft tissue, cartilage and bone. That is a statement of intent rather than a demonstrated result, and no outcome data is published. Nothing is said about price or insurance on the pages reviewed, though a virtual consultation tool and telephone appointments are offered. Only one physician is identifiable from the pages reviewed, and without credentials, so a prospective patient should ask who would perform the procedure and what their training is.
The site organises its conditions by body region, all of them musculoskeletal.
The site says it uses the patient's own cells, harvested from bone marrow and from fat tissue and concentrated in a centrifuge before injection under ultrasound guidance.
Only one physician could be identified from the pages reviewed, and without credentials.
The practice works from a suite on West 119th Street in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb on the Kansas side of the Kansas City metropolitan area. It is an outpatient clinic for assessment and ultrasound-guided injection, with cell concentration described as carried out using a centrifuge, which implies point-of-care processing rather than a separate laboratory. No accreditation is stated.
No prices are published and nothing is said about insurance on the pages reviewed. A virtual or telephone consultation is offered, at which a prospective patient should ask for a written total cost covering harvesting, processing, injection and any follow-up.
