Clinics in Delray Beach, Florida

The "other" category is a catchall for regenerative wellness modalities with inconsistent federal oversight. Red light therapy devices (photobiomodulation) have narrow FDA 510(k) clearances for acne, muscle pain, and wound healing, not systemic regeneration. Whole-body cryotherapy is NOT FDA-approved for any medical indication and received an FDA safety communication in July 2016 warning of asphyxiation, frostbite, and burn risks. Ozone therapy is NOT FDA-approved for any medical use and the FDA has stated ozone is a toxic gas with no known useful medical application. Condition-specific regenerative offerings (hair restoration with minoxidil or finasteride, ED care beyond PDE5 inhibitors and shockwave) have varying approval depending on route and drug source.

• Florida Medical Practice Act (Fla. Stat. Ch. 458)
  Defines practice of allopathic medicine and delegation rules for wellness clinics.
• Florida Osteopathic Medical Practice Act (Fla. Stat. Ch. 459)
  Parallel statute governing DO practice commonly seen at Florida regenerative clinics.
• Florida Health Care Clinic Act (Fla. Stat. Ch. 400.990)
  Requires certain clinics to hold a Health Care Clinic license unless the clinic qualifies for an exemption based on physician ownership.

Florida is generally permissive but with notable pockets of active enforcement. The Department of Health and boards of medicine and osteopathic medicine investigate unlicensed practice, false advertising of unapproved therapies, and pill mill style operations. The Agency for Health Care Administration enforces the Health Care Clinic Act. Ozone and chelation clinics have faced board action when marketing cancer or Lyme treatment. The Attorney General pursues deceptive health claims under Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
