For knees, backs, shoulders and hips that have stopped getting better with rest, physical therapy and injections. Physician-performed at our clinic at 117 W. Underwood St., by appointment.
THIS NOTICE MUST BE PROVIDED TO YOU UNDER FLORIDA LAW. This physician performs one or more stem cell therapies that have not yet been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. You are encouraged to consult with your primary care provider before undergoing any stem cell therapy.
Most people who call us have already done the standard route. Rest, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, maybe a cortisone shot that helped for a few weeks. Some have been told they are not ready for a joint replacement yet. Some want to put one off as long as they can.
Stem cell therapy is one more option for that group. It is an in-office procedure, not surgery. It is also not right for everyone, and the consult is where we work that out together.
Osteoarthritis, cartilage wear, meniscus and ligament injuries.
Rotator cuff tears and tendinopathy, shoulder arthritis.
Chronic lower back pain and degenerative changes, after a careful look at your imaging.
Hip arthritis and labral injuries.
Tennis and golfer's elbow, and other tendon and ligament injuries that have not healed.
Slow-healing wounds, within what Florida law allows.
1. Consult. We go through your history, exam and imaging. If you do not have recent imaging, we will tell you what is needed. You leave knowing whether you are a candidate.
2. Your plan, in writing. Which areas, which protocol, the full cost and what results to realistically expect. You sign Florida's required consent form only after your questions are answered.
3. Treatment day. The procedure is done by the physician at our Orlando clinic. It is an in-office procedure, not surgery.
4. Follow-up. We check in on your progress and adjust your recovery plan. You can reach the care team directly between visits.
Yes. Since July 1, 2025, Florida law lets a physician use stem cell therapies that the FDA has not approved, as long as the treatment is related to orthopedics, wound care or pain management. The law also sets rules for where the cells come from, requires a signed consent form, and requires the notice you see on this page.
No. The stem cell therapies offered under Florida's law are not FDA-approved. That is why Florida requires every clinic that offers them to carry the notice at the top of this page.
Orthopedic, joint and pain conditions only, which is what Florida law allows. Knees, shoulders, hips, backs, elbows, tendons and ligaments. We do not offer stem cell therapy for other conditions.
Florida law requires the cells to be made and stored in an FDA-registered facility that is accredited by AABB, AATB, NMDP or WMDA, and it bans cells taken from a fetus or embryo after an abortion. Ask us at your consult and we will show you the documentation for the product used in your treatment.
It depends on which joint, how many areas and the protocol your physician recommends. You get the full price in writing at your consult, before you commit to anything. Insurance usually does not cover it. Monthly payments are available through Cherry financing.
Results vary. Some patients get real relief, some get a little, and some get none. Nobody can honestly promise you an outcome, and we will not. If your imaging shows you would be better served by a surgeon, we will tell you that at the consult.
No. Florida law encourages you to talk with your primary care provider before any stem cell therapy, and we are glad to send them our notes.
