Santa Monica practice of Peter A. Fields, MD, DC, offering stem cell injections, platelet-rich plasma and prolotherapy for joint and spine pain.
OrthoRegen Center for Regenerative Orthopedics is a private practice in Santa Monica, California, run by Peter A. Fields, who holds both a medical degree (MD) and a chiropractic degree (DC). The practice is limited to regenerative orthopedics, meaning injection-based treatments for joints, tendons, ligaments and the spine rather than surgery.
Three treatments are offered. Stem cell injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP, made by spinning a sample of your own blood to concentrate the platelets), and dextrose prolotherapy, in which a sugar solution is injected into an injured area. The site says treatment is carried out in the office and does not involve a hospital stay, and it describes follow-up care after the injections.
The website does not say where the stem cells come from - whether from your own bone marrow or fat, or from donated birth tissue - and gives no detail on how cells are processed. It also gives no year of establishment and no information on languages spoken or services for patients travelling from abroad. If you are considering treatment here, these are reasonable things to ask about directly.
The practice lists a wide range of joint and spine problems. Ask what published evidence supports these injections for your particular diagnosis, and how it compares with standard care.
The site names the treatments but not the tissue the cells are taken from.
The practice is at 2730 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 220, Santa Monica, CA 90403. Treatments are described as office-based procedures without hospital admission. The website does not publish opening hours, the year the practice opened, languages spoken, or any arrangements for international patients.
No prices or consultation fees are published on the website. You would need to contact the office to find out what a consultation and any treatment would cost, and whether insurance is accepted.
