The regenerative medicine service within Sanford Health's orthopaedics and sports medicine department, offering bone marrow and blood-derived injections for joint and tendon problems.
This is a service inside a hospital system rather than a stand-alone clinic. Sanford Health's orthopaedics and sports medicine department runs a regenerative medicine programme, and the page names two sites where it is offered: Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on (605) 328-3700, and the equivalent department in Fargo, North Dakota.
The site describes using cell therapy, which it defines as using stem cells or regenerative cells to treat a disease or injury, and names two starting materials. Bone marrow is drawn from the pelvis by aspiration, and the regenerative cells are isolated from it for injection. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a blood sample that is processed to concentrate the plasma and platelets. Both are autologous, meaning they come from the patient's own body. The site groups these under the term orthobiologics.
For patients who are not suitable for cell-based treatment, the page states that hyaluronic acid injections and steroid injections are also available. The conditions named are arthritis, ligament injuries, and both acute and chronic tendon injuries, along with joint and tendon pain generally. The page says Sanford is leading several research projects but gives no trial names or registration details on the page reviewed, so anyone interested in a study would need to ask.
On cost, the page is unusually direct for a hospital service: it states that regenerative treatments are not covered by most health insurers, but also says its regenerative medicine treatments may cost less than most insurance deductibles, with costs discussed at consultation. No individual clinicians are named on the page, so a prospective patient would need to ask which physicians run the service.
The page names a focused set of joint and soft tissue problems rather than a wide condition list.
The site describes regenerative medicine as using cell therapy — stem cells or regenerative cells — to treat a disease or injury, with the cells taken from the patient's own bone marrow or blood.
No individual clinicians are named on the regenerative medicine page; because this is a hospital department, a prospective patient would need to ask which orthopaedic and sports medicine physicians provide these treatments.
The service sits inside the Sanford Health system, a large non-profit hospital network in the upper Midwest of the United States, and is delivered through its orthopaedics and sports medicine department. The page names Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Fargo, North Dakota as the two locations where regenerative treatment is offered, with telephone numbers for each. Because this is a hospital programme, patients have access to the wider system's imaging, surgical and rehabilitation services, and the page refers to ongoing research projects; the page itself does not describe a dedicated cell processing laboratory or state accreditation.
The page publishes no prices but does address cost. It states that regenerative treatments are not covered by most health insurance providers, and says its regenerative medicine treatments may cost less than most insurance deductibles, with costs discussed at consultation.
