Spine and pain practice in Peoria and Marion, Illinois offering bone marrow stem cell injections for degenerative spine and joint conditions.
Prairie Spine and Pain Institute is a spine and pain practice with offices in Peoria and Marion, Illinois. It treats patients directly and combines conventional spine surgery and pain management with a bone marrow stem cell injection service.
The cell treatment uses the patient's own bone marrow. Marrow is drawn by needle, then concentrated using a device the practice names as the ART 21 system from Celling Technologies, which is designed to increase the yield of mononucleated cells, and injected into the damaged or degenerating area. Concentrated platelets and plasma may be injected at the same time. The procedure is described as taking about 30 minutes and being performed under intravenous sedation.
The practice states that it considers stem cell treatment only after conservative measures such as physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication have been tried without enough benefit. It also states plainly that insurance does not currently cover stem cell treatment, which means this is a self-pay procedure. Only donor-free, patient-derived material is described; there is no mention of umbilical cord, amniotic or exosome products.
Only the patient's own tissue is used.
Two offices are listed: 7620 North University Street, Suite 104, Peoria, Illinois 61614, and 1002 Pentecost Road, Marion, Illinois 62959. Both are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, on telephone 309-691-7774. The year the practice was established, languages spoken and any international patient service are not stated.
No prices are published, but the practice states plainly that insurance does not currently cover stem cell treatment, so this is a self-pay procedure. Ask for a written total cost including sedation and follow-up.
