An interventional pain management clinic in Edina, Minnesota, offering injection-based pain procedures alongside platelet rich plasma and autologous stem cell treatments.
Twin Cities Pain & Regenerative Medicine is a private interventional pain management practice based in Edina, in the Minneapolis-St Paul area of Minnesota. The site presents the practice as centred on one physician, Dr Constantin N. Starchook, and describes its work as diagnosing the source of a patient's pain before treating it, rather than managing symptoms alone.
The bulk of the treatments listed are conventional interventional pain procedures: epidural injections, nerve blocks, joint injections and radiofrequency ablation. Alongside these the site lists regenerative options, specifically platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood) and what it calls autologous (from the patient's own body) stem cell therapy.
The site gives very little technical detail about the cell therapy. It does not state which tissue the stem cells are taken from, how they are processed, or under what regulatory pathway they are given. A prospective patient would need to ask the clinic directly about the cell source, the preparation method and the evidence the clinic relies on before agreeing to treatment.
The practice states that most major health insurances are accepted, though regenerative injections are commonly excluded from cover by insurers in the United States and the site does not say whether its stem cell or platelet rich plasma procedures are covered. Costs are not published.
The site lists the following problems as the ones the practice treats.
The site says the practice offers autologous (from the patient's own body) stem cell therapy as one of its regenerative options, but describes it only in general terms.
The site names one physician.
The practice occupies a suite in a commercial medical building at 4444 West 76th Street in Edina, a suburb on the southern edge of Minneapolis. It is presented as an outpatient office where consultations and image-guided injections are carried out, rather than a surgical or inpatient facility. The site lists weekday opening hours only and does not describe procedure rooms, laboratory facilities or any accreditation.
The site does not publish any prices. It states that most major health insurances are accepted, but does not say whether that extends to the platelet rich plasma or stem cell procedures, which insurers in the United States generally do not cover. Anyone considering these treatments would need to ask for a written quotation.
