ABOUT US

Welcome to the New England Stem Cell Institute, a national leader in Regenerative Medicine, sports medicine, non-surgical orthopedics and aesthetics. Founded by internationally recognized physician Dr. Paul Tortland, we were among the first in the country to begin performing PRP and stem cell treatments.  Few practices have our level of skill and experience.  We are leaders in the use of Regenerative Medicine treatments, including Stem Cells, PRP, fat grafting, prolotherapy and Prolozone. We specialize in the non-surgical treatment of painful musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and many more.  Centrally-based in Connecticut, we serve patients from all over New England and the metro New York tri-state region, and even from across the country.

STEM CELL FAQs

Q: Where do the stem cells you use come from?

A: All of our stem cells come from YOU - your own fat reserves, or bone marrow. This is to ensure there is no risk of allergic reaction, and maximum healing. The cells are obtained using minimally invasive and minimally uncomfortable procedures right here in our office using cutting edge technology, and then perform the stem cell procedure immediately, the SAME day. 
Q: Do you ever use embryonic stem cells?

A: Never. Embryonic stem cells have not been shown to provide any better healing than stem cells from your own body. We all have stem cells in our body, and using cells that are already natural to you are always preferable. 
Q: Can stem cells come from the umbilical cord?

A: NO. Any practice claiming to use "umbilical cord stem cells" is fraudulent.  While products derived from amniotic fluid, placenta tissue, and umbilical cord blood have some therapeutic value in select situations, NONE of these products contains ANY live viable stem cells.  None.  Period.  These are NOT "stem cell" products, and clinics that are promoting the use of amnion, placenta, or cord blood as "stem cell" treatments are committing fraud. 
Q: What makes your practice different?

A: We were the first practice in New England, and among the first in the whole country, to begin performing treatments for painful orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and neurological conditions using stem cells.  No one in the region has more skill, experience, or expertise than we do.  You can trust us for the most honest, the most reliable and the most safe and accurate treatments.  We were also among the first practices in the country to become a signatory to The Orthobiologic Ethics Consortium, a multi-disciplinary group of health care providers committed to promoting ethical research, marketing, and clinical use of orthobiologics such as stem cells and PRP.

 It's been over a year since my stem cell injection into my shoulder for a labral tear and all is well. Working out at the gym and just simple day-to-day activities, no pain. Thank you!
