Ligaments are fibrous tissue that connect bone to bone. In the knee there are 4 principal ligaments; ACL(anterior cruciate ligament), PCL(posterior cruciate ligament),MCL(medial collateral ligament) and LCL(lateral collateral ligament). Ligaments in the knee provide structural stability for the joint. If a ligament is injured, partially torn or stretched it affects the stability of the joint. ...

At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we acknowledge that there are many potential sources of hip pain which include dysfunctional muscles, stretched or partially torn ligaments, tears in fibrocartilage structures and damage to articular cartilage. It is critical that all the potential sources of pain be evaluated. MRI's do not indicate the source of a given patient's pain. MRI's do not have flashing arrows...

Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment for neck, thoracic and back pain that is arising from the facet joint. The facet joint is a small cartilage lined joint in the spine that is susceptable to injury and can cause significant pain and restriction in range of motion. Small nerves within the facet joint transmit a pain signal from the joint to the brain. Radiofrequency ablation works by interrupting...

Sciatica is a debilitating searing pain in the lower extremity commonly as a result of nerve root irritation. Disc herniation, disc protrusion, overgrowth of the facet joint and thickening of the ligaments can result in nerve root compression or irritation. Non-surgical treatments to date have included x-ray guided epidural injections of local anesthetics and steroids. As discussed in previous...

Ligaments connect bone to bone. They provide essential support to a given joint. Conceptually they are the duct tape which provide for a strong foundation. If the ligament is torn, stretched or injured it can become loose thereby compromising the support of a joint. An unstable joint can be painful. Treatment options at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic for instability include x-ray or ultrasound...

Knee arthroscopy and trimming of the meniscus are intended to reduce pain and increase function. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Jarvis Green a two-time super bowl champion failed surgery therapy for his knee pain. Rather than undergo an additional surgery he elected to undergo the Regenexx procedure which enabled him to use his own mesenchymal stem cells. At the Centeno-Schultz...

I’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.
— Pixie Greenmeier“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.”
