Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Clinics in Fort Worth, TX
Fort Worth’s options split between orthopedic surgeons who offer biologics and a pain group whose stem cell page lists donated umbilical cord blood as a source. That is the distinction to keep in mind, because Texas law and FDA treat your own same-day marrow and a donor product differently. Texas also keeps a registry of physicians who administer investigational stem cell treatment under its law. So if a clinic says you are receiving investigational treatment, you can ask whether its physician is on that registry.

The Texas Registry and Its Limits
Under Texas Health and Safety Code section 1003.0526, the state must keep an investigational stem cell registry listing each physician who administers an investigational treatment under subchapter B. That path is limited to severe chronic disease or terminal illness under state rules, with review board oversight. Section 1003.060 carves out adult stem cells used for their intended homologous use if they come from an FDA-registered manufacturer. A clinic may therefore be outside the registry path entirely. Ask which basis it claims. Check a license at the Texas Medical Board. Registration is not approval, as FDA and its regulation both make clear.
Cord Blood Products: Approved for What?
FDA’s consumer notice names umbilical cord blood among unapproved products and says regenerative therapies have not been approved for any orthopedic condition. FDA’s approved list includes cord blood products for transplant-related uses, not joints. Under its guidance, marrow stays outside the tissue rules only when minimally manipulated and used for its normal function; PRP is a blood product.
A phase 3 trial of 480 randomized knee patients (440 analyzed) found marrow, fat and cord tissue cells no better than cortisone at one year. The American College of Rheumatology’s 2026 recommendations strongly recommend against stem cell and PRP injections in the knee and hip. Compare the Dallas list, which includes a clinic that posts a marrow fee.
This reflects each practice’s website as we read it in November 2026; verify anything important by phone. No ranking or endorsement is intended, and your own physician should advise you. FDA has received reports of blindness, tumors and infections from unapproved regenerative products.
