The use of these products in orthobiologics is not illegal. Selling and promoting them as actual stem cell injections would mean that they have been approved by the FDA as a biologic drug…..and none of these products have passed that standard. Patients need to be very sure of what they are paying for with orthobiologic procedures so that they aren’t charged and given a procedure that is not what was advertised!
The link is to a blog post by Chris Centeno, MD who is the Chief Medical Officer of Regenexx which has published more literature in orthobiologics over the past 10 years than any other clinic, physician, or vendor.
