Tampa pain management clinic offering umbilical cord cell and platelet-rich plasma injections alongside a full range of nerve blocks and spinal procedures.
The Pain & Wellness Institute is a private pain management clinic with offices in Tampa and Apollo Beach, Florida. It treats patients directly and is not a research institute. It is led by Dr Devang Padalia.
Most of the practice is conventional interventional pain medicine: epidural steroid injections, joint and bursa injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, sacroiliac joint injections, trigger point injections, spinal cord stimulation, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for spinal fractures, and a long list of specific nerve blocks including stellate ganglion, celiac plexus, hypogastric plexus, lumbar sympathetic, intercostal, ilioinguinal, ganglion impar and trigeminal nerve blocks. Ketamine infusions are also offered.
Alongside this the clinic offers what it calls regenerative medicine: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from the patient's own blood, and injections of human cellular tissue containing mesenchymal cells from donated umbilical cords collected at caesarean birth. Umbilical cord cell products are not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treating pain or arthritis, so ask what regulatory basis is being relied on. The clinic also runs wellness services including intravenous therapy, hormone therapy, NAD+ injections, peptides and weight loss programmes. No prices are published.
The condition list is broad and includes post-traumatic stress disorder alongside musculoskeletal pain. Ask which specific treatment is proposed for your problem and what evidence supports it.
The cell product named is donor-derived rather than taken from the patient.
One physician is named on the site.
