Yes, since July 2025, you can legally have Umbilical Cord Derived Stem Cell Treatment for orthopedic, pain management & wound conditions in Florida.
But, we know it’s confusing knowing what’s legal and what’s safe.
Our team is here to help you understand what treatments you can actually get in Florida, what stem cell treatment costs in places like Orlanda, Tampa & Miami and how to stay safe.
Just because clinics can offer treatment, doesn’t mean they all follow the right processes.

What is the new Stem Cell Law in Florida: 2025 Florida Senate Bill 1768
Florida Senate Bill 1768 is a new “Safe Harbor” law effective July 2025 that officially gives doctors the green light to use Umbilical Cord stem cells for orthopedic & wound injuries, provided they follow strict safety protocols and use only accredited, verified tissues.
In simple terms? The state stepped in and said: “We know the FDA rules are messy. So here is exactly how you can do this legally and safely in Florida.”
Here is the breakdown of what clinics have to do to stay in line with this new bill:
Using Umbilical Cord Derived MSC Cells
Unlike federal rules, Florida Law explicitly protects a clinic’s right to use Umbilical Cord and Placental Tissue.
Clinics can’t just buy cells from anywhere. The tissue has to come from a manufacturer that’s properly registered with the FDA and operating under federal regulations.
Clinics cannot grow cells in a petri dish. You get the cells exactly as processed (no expansion).
Why Clinics can’t ALWAYS use your own fat (Adipose Tissue)
Many compliant Florida clinics have largely moved away from fat-based stem cell procedures that involve advanced processing.
Extracting stem cells from fat often requires “Enzymatic Digestion” (chemicals). The FDA views this as more than “minimal manipulation,” which can classify the product as a regulated biologic drug.”
Clinics typically use Bone Marrow (processed same-day with minimal handling) or certain Umbilical Cord tissue products structured to comply with federal tissue regulations.
Mandatory Paperwork
If a clinic is operating legally, they cannot just hand you a standard waiver.
You must sign a specific state-mandated form declaring the treatment is “Investigational.”
If a clinic claims “FDA Approval” or lacks this specific disclosure, they are violating Florida law.
In Short: The Florida Checklist
- Clinics must source umbilical cord MSC cells from registered labs.
- They can only use these cells to treat Orthopedic, pain management, or wound conditions.
- They must clarify this is experimental & not FDA Approved.

Why Florida Allows Umbilical Cord Tissue Derived Stem Cell Treatments
- Thousands of people are travelling abroad from the US to countries like Panama & Mexico for these treatments. Florida decided it was better to offer a regulated, safer option at home than to let patients take risks in unregulated foreign clinics.
- Also, it meant only the wealthy had access to Stem Cell Treatment. Now, its more widely available.
- The political climate has shifted. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the new HHS administration pushing for “medical freedom,” Florida felt confident to bypass old FDA bottlenecks and pass its own laws.
- Before this law, the industry was a grey area. This bill establishes strict “guardrails,” forcing clinics to use accredited labs and safety protocols instead of operating in the shadows.

Stem Cell Treatment in Florida vs Mexico & Panama
Stem Cell Therapy in Florida is in most cases safer & cheaper than getting treatment from Mexico & Panama.
Stem Cell Therapy is not legal in Mexico, nor are there any enforcements of regulations happening in Panama.
So you do have to be EXTREMELY careful when choosing a clinic in either country.
However, there are a greater variety of treatments available in those countries over the US. People are travelling abroad to these countries for AutoImmune & neurological conditions for example.
We’re not saying not to go to Mexico or Panama, but remember Florida is an option if you’ve got an orthopedic condition. We’ve put together a comparison table for you below.
| Location | Regulations | Cost Range for Orthopedic Conditions (USD) |
| Florida | Legal for Orthopedic, Pain Management & Wound Conditions | $800 to $10,000 |
| Mexico | Not Legal | $2,500 to $4,000 |
| Panama | Not Lega | $9,000 to $12,000 |
