Prolotherapy injection service offered at the Stem Cell Institute in West Los Angeles, the practice of Dr Marc Darrow.
This listing points to the prolotherapy service of the Stem Cell Institute, a private practice at 11645 Wilshire Boulevard in West Los Angeles led by Dr Marc Darrow. It is not a separate clinic with its own premises; it is one of the treatments offered at that address.
Prolotherapy is an injection technique in which a solution is injected into or around a painful joint, ligament or tendon. At this practice it sits alongside two other injection treatments: platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which uses platelets concentrated from the patient's own blood, and stem cell therapy using cells drawn from the patient's own bone marrow. Hyaluronic acid injections are also offered. All are outpatient procedures done in the clinic rather than in an operating theatre.
The site presents its work by body area, covering the knee, spine, hip, neck, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, and foot and ankle. It states the practice has been treating patients for nearly thirty years. No prices are given for prolotherapy or for any other treatment.
The conditions listed span most of the joints in the body. Ask what evidence supports prolotherapy for your specific diagnosis, and how it compares with physiotherapy or other standard care.
Treatment is given at the Stem Cell Institute, 11645 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 120, Los Angeles, California 90025. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. This is an outpatient clinic; no surgical or overnight facilities are described.
The cost of prolotherapy is not published. Neither a consultation fee nor a per-injection or per-course price appears on the site, so ask for a written quote.
