A Scottsdale practice led by a naturopathic doctor, injecting stem cells taken from the patient's own bone marrow and fat into painful joints.
Scottsdale Prolotherapy is a practice led by Dr. Ramon Esquerdo, a naturopathic medical doctor, based within DreamBody Medical Centers in Scottsdale, Arizona. Its main focus is prolotherapy, a technique in which a substance is injected into joints and ligaments to prompt a healing response.
The stem cell service uses the patient's own tissue. Cells are taken either from bone marrow or from fat removed by a small liposuction procedure, concentrated, and then injected into the damaged joint or ligament. The site says the procedure usually takes about an hour and is done under conscious sedation, meaning the patient is sedated but awake. Platelet-rich plasma is also offered, as are amniotic-derived growth factors, which are a donor product.
The practice also provides hormone treatments for men and women, including bio-identical pellets.
Most treatments use the patient's own tissue. Amniotic growth factors are the one donor-derived product mentioned.
One treating doctor is named. Other names on the page are cited as trainers or as pioneers of the technique, not as staff.
The practice operates from DreamBody Medical Centers at 7032 East Cochise Road, Suite A130, Scottsdale, Arizona 85253. The phone number is (480) 292-1110. Opening hours, languages spoken and the year of founding are not published.
No prices are published. A promotional graphic refers to half-price prolotherapy and amniotic growth factors are listed as call for pricing, so you would need to phone for a figure.
