A regenerative injection service run by radiologists at RAYUS Radiology's Twin Cities imaging centres, using only the patient's own blood or bone marrow cells.
RAYUS Radiology is an outpatient imaging company, and its Twin Cities regenerative medicine service sits inside that business rather than standing alone as a clinic. The injections are performed by what the site describes as subspecialised radiologists with specific training in the procedures, using imaging guidance for placement, and the site says its radiologists carry out more than twenty thousand injections a year across the Twin Cities market. The location named for this listing is St Louis Park, Minnesota.
Two treatments are offered, and the site is refreshingly specific about its limits. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) uses platelets concentrated from the patient's own blood. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) uses cells from marrow drawn from the back of the hip. The site states that it uses only blood or mesenchymal adult stem cells harvested directly from the patient on the day of the procedure — so everything here is autologous (from the patient's own body), with no donor, umbilical cord, amniotic or exosome products involved at all.
The conditions named are musculoskeletal and spinal: tendonitis, muscle strains and tears, ligament injuries, chronic joint pain, mild to moderate osteoarthritis, cartilage loss, disc degeneration and temporomandibular joint disorders. No success rates or outcome data are published; a patient quotation on the Twin Cities page describing ten days without pain is a testimonial rather than evidence. Downloadable information sheets are offered for both the platelet and the bone marrow procedures, which is useful for anyone wanting to read before committing.
On cost the site is clearer than most: it states that regenerative medicine procedures are typically not covered by insurance, that health savings or reimbursement accounts may sometimes apply, and that platelet rich plasma costs less than bone marrow concentrate because the material is obtained differently. It gives no figures. It also warns that the procedure is not performed at all of its centres, so availability must be confirmed locally. A language assistance link appears in the footer without naming specific languages, and the site does not name the clinicians who carry out the procedures at St Louis Park.

The site states that it uses only blood or adult mesenchymal stem cells taken directly from the patient on the day of the procedure.
The procedures are described as performed by radiologists rather than orthopaedic surgeons, but individual names are not given for this service.
This is an outpatient imaging centre rather than a surgical or cell therapy facility. The service named in this listing is at St Louis Park, Minnesota, part of a much larger network of imaging centres, and the main advantage described is the imaging guidance: injections are placed using the company's scanning equipment by radiologists who do this work in high volume. The site says the procedure is not available at every centre, so local availability must be checked. No cell processing laboratory is described beyond same-day preparation of the patient's own material, and no accreditation detail is given.
No figures are published, but the site is more candid than most: it states that regenerative medicine procedures are typically not covered by insurance, that health savings or reimbursement accounts may sometimes be used, and that platelet rich plasma costs less than bone marrow concentrate. An actual quote would need to come from the local centre.
