Tampa Bay, Florida – September 07, 2026 -- Joseph Spine Institute has launched a Regenerative Therapy Center, giving spine and musculoskeletal patients access to treatments derived from their own body's cells and blood.
The center offers two therapies drawn from patients' own bodies
The new center provides autologous adipose-derived cell therapy, which uses cells taken from a patient's own fat tissue, alongside platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from a patient's own blood. Both are offered as part of a personalized treatment approach for spine and musculoskeletal conditions.
Not every patient qualifies, according to the institute's founder
"Not every patient is a candidate for regenerative therapy, and regenerative treatment isn't appropriate for every diagnosis," said Dr. Samuel A. Joseph, Jr., founder of Joseph Spine Institute. Patients undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation before treatment is considered, and the institute says its goal is to match the right patient with the right therapy rather than apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
The FDA has not approved these products for orthopedic use
Joseph Spine Institute notes that regenerative medicine remains an evolving field and draws a distinction between therapies under clinical investigation and treatments with specific FDA approval. The institute states that the FDA classifies adipose-derived regenerative products as subject to federal regulatory requirements, and that such products have not been approved for treating orthopedic conditions.
The center fits into a broader range of spine treatment options
Depending on diagnosis, Joseph Spine Institute's physicians may recommend conservative care, physical therapy, interventional pain management, regenerative therapies, minimally invasive procedures, endoscopic spine surgery, or other advanced surgical options, including navigation and robotic-assisted procedures.
Patients interested in adipose-derived cell therapy or PRP can contact the institute to schedule an evaluation to determine if regenerative therapy suits their condition.
