A non-surgical sports and spine practice led by Dr Brian Shiple, offering platelet and cell injections; its site states the Glen Mills, Pennsylvania clinic has closed and relocated to Florida.
The Center for Sports Medicine and Wellness is the practice of Dr Brian J. Shiple, a non-surgical sports and spine medicine physician. Anyone using this directory should read the site's own notice first: it states that Dr Shiple has closed his Pennsylvania interventional regenerative sports and spine medicine practice and relocated to south-west Florida, now operating as Integrative Rehab Medicine in Estero, Florida. The former Pennsylvania address given is 1788 Wilmington Pike, Suite 2000, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, telephone 610-459-4200; the Florida number given is 239-687-3199.
The practice is orientated entirely around avoiding surgery. The site describes the physician as a specialist in minimally invasive, non-operative technology for orthopaedic and sports medicine, and lists his credentials as DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine), CAQSM (certificate of added qualification in sports medicine) and RMSK (registered musculoskeletal sonographer). It names several proprietary or branded procedures, including the DiscSeel procedure for spinal discs, treatments the practice calls Spine Renu and JointRenu, Tenex tenotomy for tendon problems, and ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection.
The cell-based treatments the site names divide along an important line. For the Pennsylvania practice it lists platelet rich plasma (PRP, concentrated from a sample of the patient's own blood), bone marrow concentrate from the patient's own marrow, alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M, a protein concentrated from the patient's own blood), autologous stem cell injections and adipose fat grafts — all autologous, meaning taken from the patient's own body. For the Florida practice it additionally lists stromal vascular fraction from fat, exosomes, placental tissue products, umbilical cord stem cells and amniotic membrane grafts — these last categories are allogeneic, meaning derived from donated birth tissue rather than from the patient.
That difference matters to a prospective patient, because donor birth-tissue and exosome products raise distinct questions about sourcing, processing and regulatory status that autologous preparations do not. The site does not name the tissue supplier for the donor-derived products, publish any certificate of analysis, give prices, state a founding year or mention languages. A prospective patient would need to establish which location they would actually be treated at, what product would be used and who supplies it.
The site organises its information by body region and lists the following.
The site states that the Pennsylvania practice used only the patient's own tissue — platelets, bone marrow concentrate, a blood protein concentrate and fat grafts — while the Florida practice additionally offers donor-derived birth tissue and exosome products.
One physician leads the practice.
The site describes an office-based practice carrying out ultrasound-guided injection, percutaneous tendon procedures and disc procedures, with no operating theatre described. Opening hours given are Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 4.30pm and Friday 8.30am to 1pm. The critical point is location: the site states the Glen Mills, Pennsylvania clinic at 1788 Wilmington Pike, Suite 2000 has closed, with the practice relocated to Estero, Florida under the name Integrative Rehab Medicine.
The site publishes no prices and makes no statement about insurance coverage. A prospective patient would need to ask directly, and should establish at which location they would be treated before discussing cost.
