A South Florida orthopaedic and spine practice with a Deerfield Beach office that offers stem cell injections for cartilage damage, arthritis and tendon injury.
Spine & Orthopedic Center is an orthopaedic and spine practice in South Florida. Its own locations pages list three offices, at 280 Southwest Natura Avenue in Deerfield Beach, at 9325 Glades Road in Boca Raton and at 4050 West Broward Boulevard in Plantation, each open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm.
The practice's stem cell treatment page states that cells are drawn from the patient's own bone marrow, taken from the back of the hip at the posterior superior iliac spine, and that these are injected along with growth factors obtained from the patient's own blood platelets. The same page also describes mesenchymal stem cells, which it says are multipotent cells derived from tissues other than bone marrow such as umbilical cord blood, fat tissue, adult muscle or the dental pulp of milk teeth.
According to the site, the practice carries out the procedure on its own premises, using what it describes as a sedation procedure suite with an onsite laboratory. It says the treatment is aimed at cartilage damage, arthritis, large bone defects and tendon ruptures.
The directory notes that the practice's own page sets out risks as well as benefits, including immune reactions to injected cells, possible contamination and infection associated with removing or injecting the cells. It also notes that the pages reviewed do not name individual clinicians, and that the stem cell pages describe the therapy in general scientific terms rather than reporting the practice's own results.
The practice's stem cell page names the following as the targets of the treatment.
The site states that stem cells are concentrated from the patient's own bone marrow and injected with growth factors from the patient's own blood platelets, and it separately describes mesenchymal stem cells drawn from non-marrow tissues.
The pages reviewed for this entry do not name individual clinicians.
The site describes a practice working from three South Florida offices, in Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton and Plantation, all keeping the same weekday hours. It states that stem cell procedures are performed in-house in a sedation procedure suite with an onsite laboratory, rather than being sent elsewhere for processing.
The site does not state what stem cell treatment costs. No prices, price ranges or information about insurance cover for the procedure appear on the pages reviewed.
