A small Torrance, California practice offering fat-derived and bone marrow cell injections and platelet-rich plasma for joint and tendon pain.
Pacific Stem Cell & PRP is a medical practice in Torrance, California, led by Dr. Kartik Ananth, whose background the site gives as pain management and psychiatry. The practice is focused narrowly on injection treatments for painful joints and tendons, and describes itself as offering non-surgical options.
Three procedures are offered. The first takes stem cells from the patient's own fat, collected through a minor liposuction procedure. The second uses bone marrow aspirate concentrate, drawn from the hip bone. The third is platelet-rich plasma, made from the patient's own blood. In each case the site describes the same basic sequence: material is taken from the patient, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate it, and injected into the affected area.
The list of conditions treated is short and confined to musculoskeletal problems, which is narrower and more specific than many clinics in this field. Telehealth consultations are offered. The site describes consultations as free but publishes no treatment prices.
All three sources are taken from the patient's own body; no donor or umbilical cord material is mentioned.
The practice is at 23150 Crenshaw Boulevard, Suite 105, Torrance, California 90505, open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. The website does not give a year of establishment, does not list languages spoken beyond English, and does not describe services for patients travelling from abroad. Telehealth appointments are available.
The site offers free consultations but publishes no treatment prices. You would need to contact the practice to learn what a course of injections costs.
