    The Doctor or Chiropractor Said I Am Going to Grow New Cartilage

    Posted in: General Info | Posted on: 23-Jul-2018 | No of views: 1644

    Sadly,not true. At least not the way it is presented to people at seminars as a sales tactic to separate people from their hard earned money. A simple 5 degree xray tilt will make an xray change to look as if new cartilage has grown….that is what these clinics and people are showing potential patients who are interested in regenerative medicine procedures….and these clinics usually compound the deceit by telling patients they can get living stem cells from amniotic fluid or umbilical cord blood.

  • 90% Less Knee Pain 3-4 Months After A Stem Cell Injection

    Posted in: General Info | Posted on: 19-Jul-2018 | No of views: 1732

    Our patient wanted to share her story…..she is only 4 months after her in office bone marrow derived stem cell procedure that took 1 hour. She is 2 months after a PRP injection we did into the same knee to give her a better result. Now? 90%+ better and doing things without pain that she had not been able to do for years. In her words.

  • Give someone a blood clot to treat their knee pain???

    Posted in: General Info | Posted on: 25-Jun-2018 | No of views: 1738

    Block an artery to decrease knee arthritis pain?? I am just not convinced that a patient with knee arthritis should be advised to have their geniculate artery clotted (embolized) in an interventional radiology suite…with an expected 6 months of partial pain relief. This write up discusses a very small pilot study with no statistical significance….but my question is whether we should even be pursuing this idea when we have an alternative that is autologous, safe, and can be done at a lower cost in the doctor’s office, and lasts 9-12 months…….PRP!

  • Why the FDA Recognizes Bone Marrow As The Best Source For Stem Cells

    Posted in: Legal Issues With Regenerative Medicine (USA) | Posted on: 21-Jun-2018 | No of views: 1828

    Ok, just kidding, FDA doesn’t endorse any stem cell sources….BUT the FDA doesn’t regulate bone marrow as a stem cell source when used in orthopedics and they DO regulate adipose(fat), amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, placental tissues, and other stem cell sources used in orthopedics as biologic drugs. So, stick with the one source that is given the “top-line” exemption for use by the FDA. Here is a 15 minute video on why the FDA doesn’t regulate bone marrow in orthopedics.

  • 10 years of hip pain treated with a single in office injection of PRP!

    Posted in: Hip | Posted on: 18-Jun-2018 | No of views: 2013

    First off, results vary But what a great response our patient had in this testimonial! She had multiple steroid shots and medications over the past 10 years for intractable hip region pain. As a last resort before surgery, her hip surgeon sent her our way. We diagnosed gluteus medius and minimus tendinopathy with ultrasound on the same day in the office and on the same day did a LP-PRP injection after drawing 60cc of blood from her to make the PRP injection. Her words cannot be improved upon so we will let her tell her result! More and more clinicians are trying orthobiologics instead of steroids or pain meds….no need to wait 10 years!
