Regenexx Company Profile

The Centeno-Schultz Clinic is a research-based medical practice founded by Christopher J. Centeno, M.D., and John R. Schultz, M.D. The Regenexx-C procedure has been studied extensively for several years and continues to prove to be safe and reliable. We maintain what we believe to be the world’s largest human mesenchymal stem cell re-implantation database for orthopedic purposes. This procedure was first used as part of an IRB supervised clinical trial from 2005-2007. During this time our medical practice invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in providing investigational care with all patients receiving before and after research grade MRI’s. For more information on how physicians innovate versus how FDA/drug companies discover new drugs, see this link. By late 2007, once the physicians were satisfied that the procedure was working and that the complications were less than existing surgical care, the clinic began treating patients. Since that time the clinic has published many medical research papers listed in the U.S. Library of Medicine (see this link for an incomplete list). Every patient treated by us is entered into a treatment registry and will be contacted at various time points regarding the outcome of the procedure, any complications, etc… As a result, we have extensive experience in what works and what doesn’t work. In addition, based on our published complications papers, our procedure produces significantly fewer complications than the more invasive surgical procedures it helps many patients avoid. In addition to peer reviewed publications, we also publish our registry data on-line. See data on Regenexx-SD and the Regenexx-PL-Disc procedures.
