A Charlotte clinic offering cell injections prepared from the patient's own bone marrow and fat, plus platelet therapy and shockwave treatment, for arthritis and joint pain.
NeoGenix Stem Cell & Regenerative Therapies is a private clinic in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, North Carolina, with a second office in Cornelius serving the Lake Norman area. It focuses on injection treatments for arthritis and joint pain, and combines them with practical supports such as joint bracing and rehabilitation. The site states that its lead physician began performing these procedures in January 2016 and has since carried out thousands of injections.
On the question that matters most in this sector — what is actually injected — the clinic is explicit, and its position is a deliberate one. The site states that it uses cells taken from the patient's own body, from bone marrow and from fat tissue, either separately or combined in a preparation it markets as the Super Shot. It states plainly that it avoids amniotic products, which it describes as inferior. That means the material is autologous (from the patient's own body) rather than allogeneic (from a donor). The clinic also offers platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood) and focused shockwave treatment.
A reader should note, and treat with caution, the outcome claims on the site. It reports that more than 94 per cent of patients have described the procedure as successful by subjective, objective and daily-activity measures, with an average overall improvement of between 83 and 84 per cent at one year. These are the clinic's own internal figures as presented on its website, not results from an independent or peer-reviewed trial, and no methodology, sample size or comparison group is given. Anyone weighing this clinic against others should ask how those numbers were collected, over what period, and whether they have been published anywhere that can be checked.
The conditions listed are musculoskeletal: arthritis and osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, rotator cuff tears, meniscus tears, labral tears, tendonitis and bursitis, and chronic pain in the knees, hips, lower back, shoulders, hands, wrists, elbows, neck, feet and ankles. On cost, the site is more forthcoming than many: it states that most insurance plans do not cover regenerative treatments such as stem cell therapy, and says the clinic provides clear pricing and financing options — although no actual figures appear on the pages reviewed.
The site lists named joint and soft tissue diagnoses as well as pain by body region.
The site states that it injects cells taken from the patient's own bone marrow and fat tissue, and that it deliberately avoids amniotic donor products, which it describes as inferior.
Two physicians are named on the site.
The site lists two offices: the Charlotte clinic at 16147 Lancaster Highway, Suite 140, in Hunters Crossing Plaza in the Ballantyne area, and a Lake Norman office at 19475 Old Jetton Road, Suite 102, Cornelius, in the Jetton Medical Park building. Opening hours are given as Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm and Friday 9am to noon. Both are presented as outpatient clinics where bone marrow and fat are harvested and injections given, rather than surgical facilities. The site does not describe an on-site laboratory, state any accreditation, or mention languages spoken.
The site does not publish figures, but it is clearer than most about how payment works: it states that most insurance plans do not cover regenerative treatments such as stem cell therapy, and says the clinic offers clear pricing and financing options. In practice this means treatment is self-funded. A prospective patient should ask for an itemised written quotation covering consultation, the harvest, the injection and any follow-up, and should ask what the financing arrangement actually costs over its term.
