Single-physician regenerative orthopaedics practice in Sarasota, Florida, offering injections of fat-derived cells combined with platelet-rich plasma for joint and spine pain.
RegenOrtho is a small regenerative orthopaedics practice in Sarasota, Florida, founded and run by Dr Mark Walter. It offers injection treatments for painful joints, tendons, ligaments and the spine, rather than surgery.
The main procedure combines two things taken from the patient on the day: cells harvested from the patient's own fat tissue, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from a sample of the patient's blood. The practice also offers prolotherapy, an older injection technique using an irritant solution. The website discusses bone marrow cells and donor umbilical cord cells only by way of comparison; it does not say it uses them.
The practice covers most joints and the spine. It is worth noting that this is a one-doctor practice, so the physician you read about is the person who will treat you. Free consultations, by telephone or in person, and free seminars are advertised.
The list covers most joints and much of the spine. Ask what evidence supports these injections for your particular diagnosis.
All material used comes from the patient's own body on the day of treatment.
The practice is at 2068 Hawthorne Street, Suite 202, Sarasota, Florida 34239. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, and Friday, 9:00am to 12:00 noon, Eastern time. No year of establishment, languages other than English, or service for international patients is stated.
Treatment prices are not published, though the consultation and seminars are advertised as free. These injections are not usually covered by insurance, so ask for the full cost of a course of treatment in writing before proceeding.
