Rockville office of a large multi-state pain management group offering bone marrow derived stem cell injections under the Regenexx protocol.
National Spine & Pain Centers is a large pain management group with offices across Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia; the Rockville office is one of them. It treats patients directly and is not a research organisation. Its stem cell service is delivered under the Regenexx protocol, a licensed method used by a national network of affiliated practices.
The site states that the cells used come from the patient's own body, usually from bone marrow. It describes a course of three injections spaced two to five days apart: a dextrose solution first, then the cell injection after the cells have been drawn from blood or bone marrow, then a platelet-based injection intended to stimulate the cells. Injections are placed using imaging guidance.
Readers should treat the site's claims carefully. It states that the Regenexx protocol produces the highest possible concentration of stem cells and results in faster and more effective healing, that pain relief usually occurs very quickly, and that many patients have been able to prevent or delay surgery. These are the provider's own marketing claims, published by the provider itself, and have not been independently verified. Ask what published trial evidence exists for your specific condition. The page also does not name any physician, give the Rockville address or hours, or state a price.
The list of conditions is very broad and includes some, such as non-healing fractures and torn rotator cuffs, where surgical opinion may be more appropriate. Ask what evidence supports injection treatment for your specific diagnosis before agreeing.
The site states the cells are the patient's own, usually taken from bone marrow. No donor, umbilical cord or amniotic products are described.
No physician is named on the stem cell page and no clinician is identified for the Rockville office there.
National Spine & Pain Centers operates offices across several states including Rockville, Maryland. The stem cell page reviewed lists office locations but does not publish the Rockville street address, telephone number, opening hours, year of establishment or languages spoken. Contact the group directly to confirm which office provides this treatment.
No prices or consultation fees are published. Bone marrow derived cell injections of this kind are generally not covered by insurance in the United States, and Regenexx procedures are usually priced per joint. Ask for a written quotation covering the whole three-injection course.
