Tulsa Pain Care Group in Broken Arrow, marketed as an R3 Stem Cell Center of Excellence, offering amniotic fluid-derived cell injections and platelet rich plasma for joint and nerve pain.
This listing covers Tulsa Pain Care Group, a practice in Broken Arrow just outside Tulsa, which appears on the website of R3 Stem Cell under the label R3 Stem Cell Center of Excellence. R3 Stem Cell is a marketing and management network rather than the treating practice, so the pages a patient reads are written by the network about the local clinic. The clinic's address is given in directory listings as 817 South Elm Place, Suite 106, Broken Arrow, though the R3 pages themselves do not print it.
The treatments described are stem cell injections using amniotic fluid and platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood), together with what the pages call growth factor treatments. Amniotic fluid is donor material collected at the time of a caesarean delivery, making this allogeneic (from a donor) rather than from the patient's own body. The site does not describe how the material is processed, which supplier provides it, or what it is tested for, and a prospective patient would need to ask.
Conditions named include degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, neuropathy, sports injuries and joint pain in the hip, knee, shoulder and ankle. Injections are described as outpatient and given into joints, into soft tissue, or intravenously. The R3 pages carry promotional figures, stating that more than eight in ten patients have a positive outcome and quoting more than 26,000 procedures and an 85 per cent satisfaction rate across the whole network. These are the network's own marketing claims, they are not specific to this clinic, and they should not be read as evidence of benefit. To its credit, the site also carries a plain disclaimer that stem cell therapy is considered experimental and is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
The named clinician is Erik Paulson, DO, described as board certified, a 2009 graduate of Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine in California, with internship and residency at Oklahoma State University Medical Center in Tulsa. No prices are published; enquiries are routed through an R3 contact form and a national freephone number rather than to the clinic directly.
The conditions below are those named on the R3 Stem Cell pages for this clinic.
The site states that the clinic uses stem cell treatments derived from amniotic fluid, alongside platelet rich plasma and growth factor injections.
One clinician is named on the network's pages for this clinic.
The treating practice is Tulsa Pain Care Group, listed at 817 South Elm Place, Suite 106, Broken Arrow, around fifteen miles south east of central Tulsa. The R3 Stem Cell pages describe an outpatient setting in which injections are given into joints, into soft tissue or intravenously, but they do not print the address, describe the premises, or name any laboratory, cell-processing arrangement or accreditation. Contact details on the pages are R3's national freephone number and central email address rather than the clinic's own.
No prices appear on the pages for this clinic. R3 Stem Cell advertises a free consultation across its network, but the cost of treatment is not published and nothing is said about insurance coverage, which would be unlikely for a treatment the site itself describes as experimental.
