Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Clinics in Portland, OR

Portland’s list is split across town, with a sports medicine physician off SW Barnes Road, an orthopedic surgeon on NE Hoyt Street, and a pain practice on SW Park Way. Their sites use similar words for different things: “bone marrow aspirate,” “stem cell therapy,” “Regenexx.” The fastest way through is to ask each office what the product is, how it is processed and what the cash price is. One of them says it provides clear upfront pricing for procedures that insurance does not cover. None of these cell treatments is FDA-approved for a joint condition.

Which Words Matter

“Regenexx” names a commercial protocol, not an FDA product category. “Bone marrow aspirate” describes where cells come from. “Stem cell therapy” can describe many things. FDA’s consumer notice cuts across all of these, saying regenerative therapies have not been approved for any orthopedic condition, including when cells come from your body. FDA’s guidance keeps marrow outside its tissue rules only when minimally manipulated and used for its normal function, and treats PRP as a blood product.

If a clinic mentions an FDA-cleared device or laser, ask what that clearance covers. It describes equipment and does not approve your treatment. FDA’s approved cell and gene therapy list is the place to see actual approvals.

Guideline and Trial Findings for Portland Patients

The American College of Rheumatology’s 2026 recommendations strongly recommend against PRP and stem cell injections in knee and hip osteoarthritis. A phase 3 trial of 480 randomized knee patients (440 analyzed) found no cell preparation better than cortisone at one year. Spine questions fall outside that trial, so ask what evidence applies to your back.

Oregon Checks

The Oregon Medical Board licenses physicians and lists board actions. A training company’s September 2026 summary did not find an Oregon law written for these products; ask the board if that affects your decision.

All details were taken from clinic websites in November 2026, so a call is wise before you schedule. We make no recommendation and imply no ranking, and this page is not medical advice. FDA has received reports of blindness, tumors and infections from unapproved regenerative products.
