Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Clinics in Columbus, OH

Columbus patients have an academic option, and that sets the three practices here apart. Ohio State’s Dr. David Flanigan describes marrow concentrate within a university sports medicine setting, Dublin’s Dr. Boris Terebuh runs a regenerative spine and joint clinic built around your own marrow, and a large primary care network in Westerville offers Regenexx. Each one starts from your own tissue. So the useful questions here concern who treats you and how the procedure fits into your other care, and the FDA answer stays the same: no stem cell product is approved for a joint or spine condition.

David C. Flanigan, MD

Dr. Flanigan’s site identifies him as an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at 2835 Fred Taylor Drive, which is Ohio State’s sports medicine site. Its marrow page describes concentrate from your own hip bone, injected under ultrasound in a procedure of about two hours. It suits a patient with a cartilage or ligament problem that could also need surgery.

Regenerative Spine and Joint

Dr. Terebuh trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Ohio State, per the site, and his clinic focuses on the spine. It says “Your own bone marrow is always used instead of purchasing ‘frozen stem cells in a vial,'” and also offers Discseel, a spine procedure for which Dr. Terebuh says he is a licensed provider. If your problem is a disc, ask for comparative evidence, since the trial below studied only knees.

FDA’s Limits on Own-Marrow Treatment

FDA’s notice for consumers says regenerative therapies, including those recovered from your own body, have not been approved for disc disease, back pain, knee pain or any other orthopedic condition. Under its guidance, marrow stays outside the tissue rules only when minimally manipulated and used for its normal function, and marrow intended for another use is regulated. PRP is treated as a blood product. So a clinic’s choice of your own marrow over a frozen product answers one question, and it leaves the FDA approval question open.

What Studies Have Shown

A 2023 phase 3 trial of 480 randomized knee osteoarthritis 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 PRP and stem cell injections in the knee and hip. If you are in a study or asked to join one, FDA says a ClinicalTrials.gov listing alone does not establish legal marketing, so ask for the IND number.

Ohio Checks

The State Medical Board of Ohio licenses physicians, so look up the person named in your consent form. A September 2026 summary from a training company did not find an Ohio law written for these products; ask the board if that matters. Southwest Ohio patients can see the list for Cincinnati.

These are the practices’ own descriptions as we read them in November 2026, so call before relying on a detail. Neither a recommendation nor a ranking is intended, and your physician should guide your care. FDA has received reports of blindness, tumors and infections from unapproved regenerative products.
