Fantastic publication today. A four year study which examined 227 patient demonstrated no evidence of tumor growth in patients who had mesenchymal stem cells injected for orthopedic applications. Prior to injection, the mesenchymal stem cells has been expanded for a limited time. This differentiates them from those cells used in BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrates). The findings are consistent...

Pain is often times confusing. Sometimes the pain is felt exactly in the area of tissue damage. An example is a tooth infection (abscess). The tooth and gum tissue are inflamed which cause pain. The patient complains of tooth pain. Other times, there is injury to tissue and pain is felt at areas different from where the tissue trauma has occurred. This is called referred pain: pain perceived...

A clinical evaluation today illustrates this point. 35y/o athletic patient presented with a 4 year history of lower back pain, constant in duration, 6/10 in severity, progressive in nature, localized in left lower back and buttock area without any radiations into his leg. Pain...

Unfortunately there is large emphasis placed on MRI's in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. Radiographic studies are diagnostic tools which can assist in identifying a given patient's pain when utilized in conjunction with a complete history and physical examination. When viewed alone, MRI's do not tell the whole story. Consider the following: Englund et al, in the New England Journal of Medicine,...

The meniscus is tough fibrocartilage between the thigh bone(femur) and shin( tibia). There are two meniscus per knee: one on the inside (medial) and one on the outside(lateral). The meniscus functions as a shock absorber and therefore is critical. The meniscus is C-shaped. In viewing an MRI it is important to understand the view: frontal/side/ from the top or from the bottom. When viewing...

“We did the right knee in March 2007. I was off my feet for about an hour after each of the treatments, but that was it. No long recovery time, no time off from work – it was great. The cartilage began to grow back, and the knee was feeling much better, so we did the left knee in October. Since about two weeks later, I haven’t had any pain at all in either knee for the first time in 10 years. It’s fantastic.”
— Kenvir DixonI’m back to my conditioning classes, doing squats, lunges, jumping rope and even a little bit of jogging. My knee feels, looks and works better every day. I’m definitely looking forward to the winter and getting back on my snowboard as soon as I can.
