Santa Monica practice of Peter A. Fields, MD, DC, offering non-surgical stem cell, platelet-rich plasma and prolotherapy injections for joint and spine pain.
This Santa Monica practice, which trades as OrthoRegen, is led by Peter A. Fields, MD, DC — a doctor who holds both a medical degree and a chiropractic degree. It treats patients directly and is not a research centre. All treatment is given in the office; nothing described requires a hospital stay.
Three injection treatments are offered. Prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose (sugar) solution into ligaments or tendons to provoke a local healing response. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses platelets concentrated from a sample of your own blood. Stem cell treatment is also listed, but the website does not say where the cells come from, how they are processed, or how many are used, which is an important detail to ask about.
The practice treats chronic joint and spine pain and sports injuries across the knee, hip and groin, shoulder, elbow, neck, back, hand, and foot and ankle, including arthritis and meniscus tears. Dr Fields describes himself as 'The Athletic Doc' and an eleven-time Ironman triathlete.
PRP and prolotherapy are clearly described; the stem cell source is not.
The clinic is at 2730 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 220, Santa Monica, California 90403. All treatments are described as outpatient office procedures. The website does not publish opening hours, the year the practice was founded, languages spoken other than English, or any service aimed at patients travelling from abroad.
No prices are published. The site offers CareCredit financing, which implies patients pay out of pocket, since prolotherapy, PRP and stem cell injections are generally not covered by insurance. Ask for a written total before starting a course of injections.
