An Albuquerque pain management practice, founded in 2016, centred on platelet rich plasma injections made from the patient's own blood rather than stem cell therapy.
The PRP Regenerative Pain Institute is a pain management practice at 4163 Montgomery Boulevard Northeast in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The site states that it was established in December 2016 and describes a combination of interventional pain management and regenerative injection work. Its stated range covers platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood) therapy, interventional pain procedures, shockwave therapy marketed under the SoftWave name, platelet rich plasma for hair loss, and aesthetic treatments including botulinum toxin, dermal fillers and platelet rich plasma facials.
It is worth being clear about what this practice does and does not offer. Despite its inclusion in a stem cell directory, the site does not describe stem cell therapy at all. Its regenerative work is platelet rich plasma, an autologous (from the patient's own body) preparation made by spinning down a sample of the patient's blood to concentrate the platelets. No cell product from bone marrow, fat, umbilical cord or any donor source is named anywhere on the pages reviewed. Anyone looking specifically for stem cell treatment should confirm that before booking a consultation.
The conditions named on the site are mainly spinal and joint: arthritis, degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, lumbar pain, sciatica, spinal stenosis, neuropathic pain and complex regional pain syndrome, with platelet rich plasma also described for neck, back, knee and shoulder pain, arthritic joints, muscle tears, tendinitis and tendinopathy. The site refers to using its own body's healing factors, which is the practice's framing; it does not publish outcome data, and such claims should be read as the clinic's own description rather than established results.
The practice is led by Irwin Isaacs, MD, whom the site describes as certified in pain medicine through the American Board of Anesthesiology, fellowship trained in pain management within anaesthesiology, and practising pain management since 1999. It also notes that he has twice been named a top doctor by peers in a local magazine, which is a popularity poll rather than a clinical measure. Stated hours are Monday to Thursday from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, with Friday by arrangement. No prices are published and no languages are stated.
