A Melbourne, Florida spine and orthopaedic practice offering injections of adult stem cells concentrated from the patient's own bone marrow for joint and spine degeneration.
The B.A.C.K. Center, which the site expands as Back Authority for Contemporary Knowledge, is a spine and orthopaedic practice in Melbourne, Florida. Its pages also address patients in nearby Merritt Island, and the telephone number given throughout is (321) 723-7716.
The site describes a stem cell treatment using what it calls autologous adult stem cells, meaning cells taken from the patient's own body. It states that the cells are obtained from the patient's own bone marrow by drawing marrow from the hip, that the sample is then concentrated in the region of twelve to fourteen minutes, and that the concentrated cells are injected into the damaged area. According to the site the whole procedure usually takes under forty-five minutes.
The site describes adult stem cells as early stage cells capable of developing into other cell types, and says it applies the treatment to degeneration of the shoulder, knee, hip and spine, as well as to injuries of muscle, tendon and ligament and to bone-related injuries.
The directory notes that the pages reviewed name no individual clinician and give no street address, and that the site states only that stem cell therapy might be appropriate for certain conditions rather than setting out who is or is not suitable. Prospective patients would need to ask the practice directly about suitability, who would carry out the procedure and where.
