Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Clinics in Detroit, MI
None of the four practices here has its listed office in Detroit itself. They are in the suburbs: Rochester Hills, Bloomfield Hills, Beverly Hills and Novi. Choosing among them comes down to one contrast. Two are built around regenerative medicine. Two are orthopedic groups, and one of those says plainly that the treatment “is considered investigational” and is not covered by standard health insurance. That plain statement is worth keeping in mind at any clinic.

Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine
This center says it most often uses your own marrow, from the back of the hip, processed in its in-house lab, and may use your own fat. It says it accepts many plans for consultations and testing, while PRP and stem cell therapy are usually self-pay with an estimate before you decide. It also offers stem cell banking and men’s health services, so keep your question to the joint treatment.

Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons
This surgical group explains that marrow is taken with a needle from the hip or pelvis and concentrated in a device, and that many insurers “still consider these treatments experimental, so they may deny coverage.” It also offers prolotherapy. It suits a patient who wants the injection discussed by surgeons who also operate.

Motor City Orthopedics
Motor City’s regenerative page is plain. It calls stem cell therapy investigational and says FDA “has not yet deemed it effective and thus, it is not covered by standard health insurance.” It also says there are studies reporting improvement “but few controlled trials.” That language gives you a clear starting point for a conversation.

FDA’s Answer
FDA’s consumer notice says regenerative therapies have not been approved for any orthopedic condition, whether cells come from your own body or another person’s. Its guidance says isolating cells from fat generally goes beyond minimal manipulation, keeps marrow outside its tissue rules only when minimally manipulated and used for its normal function, and treats PRP as a blood product. FDA has also said there are currently no FDA-approved exosome products. Any later use of banked cells would still face these rules.
Trial and Guideline Evidence
A randomized trial in Nature Medicine enrolled 480 knee osteoarthritis patients (440 analyzed) and 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.
Michigan License Check
The Michigan Board of Medicine licenses MDs and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery licenses DOs, both through the state’s LARA department. Ask those boards about any Michigan rule on these products.
