An orthopaedic and spine practice in Newport News, Virginia offering bone marrow and amniotic cell injections alongside conventional orthopaedic and spine care.
The Orthopaedic & Spine Center is a multi-physician orthopaedic practice in Newport News, Virginia. Cell injection is one part of a broad musculoskeletal service that also covers spine, knee, shoulder, hip, and foot and ankle care, magnetic resonance imaging, physical therapy and pain psychology. It is a conventional orthopaedic practice rather than a dedicated stem cell clinic.
According to a regenerative medicine briefing the practice publishes on its own website, it uses cells from two sources. The first is amniotic tissue, which the document says is recovered from placentas at scheduled caesarean deliveries with the mother's consent. The second is the patient's own bone marrow, described as drawn from the hip bone, processed and then injected. The practice states plainly that it does not use embryos or embryonic tissue. Injections are described as placed under ultrasound or C-arm X-ray guidance.
The same document is unusually direct about the limits of the treatment: it states that cell injection is intended for moderate osteoarthritis, tendon inflammation, rotator cuff tears, back pain and ligament or tendon injury, and that severe bone-on-bone arthritis is not suitable. A patient account published on the site describes a knee treated with amniotic cells. Readers should note that individual patient accounts are not evidence of typical results, and the directory does not endorse any outcome claim made on the site.
One caveat is worth stating plainly. The practice has no current dedicated stem cell or regenerative medicine page in its main navigation; the detailed description of cell treatment sits in a downloadable briefing document and in a patient testimonial. Anyone interested should telephone the practice to confirm the treatment is still offered and on what terms.
The practice's own briefing names the following as suitable for cell injection, and states that severe bone-on-bone arthritis is not.
The practice states that it offers cell treatment from either donated amniotic tissue or the patient's own bone marrow, and that it does not use embryonic tissue of any kind.
The practice describes its physicians as board certified and fellowship trained. Only the following clinician is named on the pages read in connection with cell therapy; the practice's providers page lists the wider team.
The practice describes a purpose-built centre in Newport News with 32 examination rooms, three X-ray suites, an on-site magnetic resonance imaging centre and on-site physical therapy. Cell injections are described as carried out at the practice under ultrasound or C-arm X-ray guidance. No accreditation body is named on the pages read, and the site does not say which languages are spoken.
The pages read give no prices for cell injection. The practice does publish an insurance section covering its orthopaedic services generally, but says nothing about whether cell treatment is covered, so patients should ask directly.
