Glastonbury, Connecticut clinic offering stem cell, platelet and shockwave treatments for joint, tendon and ligament problems, run by the same doctors as Valley Sports Physicians.
The New England Stem Cell Institute is a private regenerative medicine clinic in Glastonbury, Connecticut, sharing an address and telephone system with Valley Sports Physicians & Orthopedic Medicine. Despite the word institute in its name, it is a treatment clinic rather than a research body. It states that it was the first practice in New England, and among the first in the country, to perform stem cell treatments for orthopaedic and musculoskeletal problems; this is the clinic's own claim and has not been independently verified here.
Its main procedures are stem cell treatment and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, both prepared from the patient's own tissue. Stem cells are described as coming from the patient's own fat reserves or bone marrow, and the site states plainly that it does not use embryonic cells. Other treatments listed are prolotherapy and prolozone, nerve hydrodissection, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT), Regenalase laser therapy, and ultrasound-guided diagnostics. The clinic also offers cosmetic services including Vampire Facial and Vampire Hair Restoration treatments and Alma TED for hair.
The list of conditions is long and covers most joints, tendons and ligaments, as well as ageing skin and thinning hair. No year of establishment, languages spoken or international patient service is stated on the site.
The clinic lists a very wide range of conditions, including cosmetic ones. Ask what evidence supports the use of these treatments for your own specific problem.
All cell material named is taken from the patient's own body.
The clinic is at 59 Sycamore Street, Suite 301, Glastonbury, Connecticut 06033, telephone (877) 836-1551, fax (860) 430-9693. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
