The Norman clinic of Oklahoma Pain Physicians, an interventional pain practice whose site also offers regenerative medicine using patient-derived or umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells.
Oklahoma Pain Physicians is an interventional pain management practice with three Oklahoma clinics. This entry covers the Norman site at 1215 Crossroads Boulevard, Suite 100. The site describes the practice's clinicians as fellowship trained and board certified in interventional pain management.
Alongside conventional pain procedures, the practice has a dedicated regenerative medicine page. According to that page it offers two approaches. The first is described as stem cell therapy using mesenchymal stem cells, which the site says are either harvested from the patient's own body (autologous) or donated from the umbilical cord of a healthy, full-term baby (allogeneic, meaning from a donor). The second is platelet rich plasma (PRP), prepared by drawing the patient's own blood and separating it to produce a serum the site says contains five to ten times more platelets than an ordinary blood sample.
The conditions the site associates with regenerative medicine are osteoarthritis, surgical pain, muscle injuries, connective tissue injuries, degenerative disc disease, back pain, neck pain and tendinitis. The site tells patients to expect gradual change over weeks and months and says more than one session may be needed. It does not publish success rates, and nothing on the page should be read as a promise of improvement.
Two clinicians are named for the practice as a whole: Rafael Justiz, MD and Alina C. Justiz, MD. Neither the regenerative medicine page nor the main site gives any price for these treatments or says whether insurance covers them, so a prospective patient would need to ask. It is also worth asking which tissue any autologous cells would be taken from, as the site does not say.
The list below combines the conditions named on the practice's general pages with those named specifically on its regenerative medicine page.
The site states that its regenerative medicine service uses mesenchymal stem cells, either harvested from the patient's own body or donated from the umbilical cord of a healthy, full-term baby.
The site names two physicians, who work across the practice's three Oklahoma locations.
The Norman clinic is an office-based pain practice at 1215 Crossroads Boulevard, Suite 100, with opening hours given as Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Procedures described are injections and minimally invasive interventional techniques carried out on site. The website does not describe the premises in detail and names no laboratory, cell-processing facility or accreditation for the preparation of cells or platelet rich plasma.
The site publishes no prices and says nothing about the cost of its regenerative medicine treatments or whether any insurance plan covers them. A patient would need to ask the practice directly, and should be aware that cell based treatments of this kind are commonly not covered by insurance.
