Regenerative Medicine is the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to damage, or congenital defects. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously irreparable organs to heal themselves. (Wikipedia)

We treat: Orthopedic; Osteoarthritis; Neck, Back, & Spine; Shoulders; Knees; Hips; Elbows; Hands & Wrists; Feet & Ankles; Pain Management; Autoimmune; Neurological; Urological; Cardiac & Pulmonary. Plans are currently being made for a number of other specialties.

Stem cells are collected and deployed during the same procedure. Our patients undergo a minimally-invasive liposuction type of harvesting or bone marrow aspiration procedure by one of our highly trained physicians in our specialized treatment facility. The collection procedure generally lasts 30 minutes and can be done under local anesthesia. Cells are then processed and are ready for deployment within 90 minutes.

No. Only certain medical problems are currently being treated at KRMC. Check our list or fill out a candidate application form on the website. All patients need to be medically stable enough to have the treatment in our facility. There may be some exceptional conditions that may eventually be treated in hospitalized patients, but that remains for the future. Some patients may be declined due to the severity of their problem. Other patients may not have conditions appropriate to treat or may not be covered by our specialists or our protocols. A waiting list or outside referral (if we know of someone else treating such a problem) might be applicable in such cases.

Patients who are considered to be candidates based on information provided in the candidate application form will be invited for a consultation with one of our panel physicians. There is no charge for this consultation which includes office evaluation (but may also include physician’s evaluation of X-Rays, records, or telephonic consultations). Unfortunately, insurance generally will not cover the actual cost of stem cell treatment in most cases since stem cell therapy is still considered experimental. The cost varies depending on the disease state being treated and which type of stem cell deployment is required. To apply for medical financing, visit Bank of the Flint Hills at bankflinthills.com.
