Supporting your body’s natural repair process with biologic therapies.
What Are Donated Cellular and Tissue Products?
At Restorative Spine & Joint, we offer regenerative therapies that utilize donated cellular and tissue products—biologic materials carefully prepared and regulated for clinical use. These products are designed to support and enhance your body’s natural healing processes in areas of injury, degeneration, or chronic inflammation.
Our donated tissue products are derived from the umbilical cord matrix and contain cryopreserved mesenchymal signaling cells (MSCs) along with naturally occurring growth factors, cytokines, and other regenerative components. These biologic materials work together to help modulate inflammation and support the body’s repair and recovery processes.
Ethical Sourcing and Safety
All tissue products used in our office are obtained from FDA-registered and AATB-accredited (American Association of Tissue Banks) laboratories and tissue banks that follow strict screening and processing standards.
Each donation is voluntary, ethically sourced, and thoroughly tested for safety and purity before use. We only partner with suppliers who maintain full compliance with FDA Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act, current Good Tissue Practices (cGTPs), and AATB accreditation standards, ensuring the highest levels of safety and quality for every patient.
How Donated Tissue Therapies Work
These biologic products are used to create a supportive environment in damaged or inflamed tissues. When introduced into the body, they may:
- Help modulate inflammation
- Support cell signaling for tissue repair
- Encourage improved blood flow and nutrient delivery
- Promote overall tissue health and recovery
The goal is not to replace tissue, but to help your body repair and regenerate more effectively—naturally and safely.
Conditions These Therapies May Support
- Osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease
- Tendinitis and bursitis
- Ligament or muscle injuries
- Chronic joint pain or inflammation
- Post-injury or overuse conditions
Benefits of Donated Cellular and Tissue Products
- Non-surgical, minimally invasive therapy
- May reduce inflammation and support healing
- Ethically sourced and rigorously tested for safety
- Supplied by FDA-registered and AATB-accredited facilities
- Helps promote tissue health and function
- Can be combined with other regenerative therapies like PRP, A2M, or Shockwave Therapy
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these tissue products come from?
All donated tissue products are ethically sourced from FDA-registered and AATB-accredited tissue banks in the United States. Each donation is fully screened and tested according to federal and industry safety standards.
How are these products used?
The biologic materials are injected into areas of tissue damage or inflammation. They work by supporting your body’s natural healing process and creating an environment that encourages repair.
Are these the same as stem cell treatments?
While many people use the term “stem cell therapy” when talking about regenerative treatments, the products we use are not classified as stem cell therapies under current FDA guidelines. The donated cellular products we use are derived from the umbilical cord matrix and contain cryopreserved mesenchymal signaling cells (MSCs) along with natural growth factors, cytokines, and other biologic components that support the body’s healing process.
These minimally manipulated tissue products do not involve stem cell harvesting or culture expansion, and they are used to help create an environment that supports tissue repair and modulation of inflammation—naturally and safely.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice gradual improvement in pain and mobility within a few weeks, with continued progress as healing occurs. Because the goal is to help repair tissue rather than just mask symptoms, results develop over time.
Are these treatments covered by insurance?
Donated tissue and cellular therapies are considered elective and are not typically covered by insurance. Our staff will review all costs, financing, and options with you before treatment begins.
Take the Next Step
If you’re living with chronic joint pain, inflammation, or tissue damage, biologic therapies using donated cellular and tissue products may help support your body’s healing process.
