Private sports medicine and regenerative orthopaedic practice in Glastonbury, Connecticut, offering ultrasound-guided injections, platelet-rich plasma and stem cell procedures.
Valley Sports Physicians & Orthopedic Medicine is a private outpatient practice in Glastonbury, Connecticut. It combines sports medicine with what the practice calls regenerative medicine, meaning injection treatments intended to work on damaged joint, tendon and ligament tissue rather than surgery. The practice shares its address with the New England Stem Cell Institute, which is listed on the same site.
Care begins with assessment rather than treatment. The practice uses diagnostic ultrasound and diagnostic injections to work out where pain is coming from, then carries out procedures under ultrasound guidance so the needle can be placed accurately. Procedures offered include platelet-rich plasma (PRP, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood), prolotherapy, prolozone, hydrodissection to free up trapped nerves, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, TenJet (a treatment for damaged tendon tissue) and stem cell treatment.
The website does not say which tissue the stem cells are taken from, which is important information to ask about before booking. It also does not state a year of establishment, languages spoken beyond English, or any service specifically for patients travelling from abroad. Telehealth appointments are offered.
The site names platelet-rich plasma clearly but does not say where its stem cells come from.
