Check the Costs Just make sure you check the cost. I got a spine procedure done in Dallas for $1300 while that same exact procedure in Pittsburgh was $4500.

Caveat Emptor 1. I have done same day stem cell injections (twice) plus multiple rounds of PRP in my knees (torn ACLs, meniscus). It worked great. (This was not a Regenexx related facility.) Still skied and played tennis. 2. Due to concern about declining number of stems cell available via the same day procedure, I decided to try Regenexx Cayman cultured stem cell procedure. 3. Everything was professionally done. Cost for phase 1 was $10,500. 4. After cells were cultured, I was advised everything was good, so I booked hotel, air fare, etc to return for re-injection. 5. Ten days prior to my departure, I was advised that only 5 million stem cells were available and that I needed 30 million for the number of injections I needed on both knees. The doctor therefore did not want to proceed. 6. Stem cells were not counted prior to culturing so there was no way to know if I had any expansion. There was no known probability of whether another $10,500 bone marrow aspiration/culture would result in more than 5 million stem cells. 7. I therefore was left with no good way forward and was out $10,500 plus money spent on plane tickets. 8. The low rating is due to the lack of transparency/ expecatation management. When the count was known 4 months prior, I should have been contacted and advised of the issue. Moreover, one would think Regenexx would have an idea of whether a 30 million count is common, particularly for my age range. 9. The bottom line is I can’t recommend Regenexx Cayman due to either a lack of knowledge of metrics for stem cell counts and more importantly a failure to relay likelihood of one having the number of stem cells needed after culturing. If 5 million per round of culture is the likely outcome, I would have to pay over $60K and then the $12,500 for injections. 10. Maybe that is something some people will pay, but I decided to cut my losses and walk away. I wish FDA would approve cultured stem cells in the U.S. as I believe there would be greater rigor applied to the process. For now, caveat emptor.

Regenexx review It has been 11 months and I am not having numbness in my legs after walking or standing more than 30 minutes. The symptoms went away or eased up after about 2 months and got better as time progressed. Strengthening and core muscle exercises help. The procedure was easy and there were no side effects. I would highly recommend. It relieves my issues and hopefully will give me several years without surgery.

If you are considering PRP or Stem Cell… If you are considering PRP or Stem Cell Therapy you should try to contact a Regenexx partner. They are professional, honest, and have the most experience in the USA or Canada. We have dealt with Dr. Fenton in Winooski Vermont and Dr. Centeno in the Cayman Islands (also in Broomfield Colorado). They have pioneered regenerative medicine and share a lot of that experience on their website. Please check out their website (regenexx.com) and get a free copy of Dr. Centeno's book.
