Aggressive skiing particularly in the moguls can take it's toll on one's knees and back. PM is 55y/o Canadian physician who was passionate about skiing and moguls. Unfortunately he had significant bilateral knee and lower back pain. As a physician and a an avid skier he recognized that knee replacement and lumbar fusion would most likely prematurely end his life-long passion. Accordingly he rejected...

Tears in the knee meniscus can cause pain and limit activity. Menisectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the injured meniscus is removed. Knee meniscectomies are not without risk: they can advance the degenerative process, create instability in the knee, result in infection and exacerbate pain. DG is an athletic 41 y/o patient who sustained a complex tear of the knee...

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. The process is controlled by a variety of factors both within and outside of cells. High dose steroids have been demonstrated to create cell death in muscles, bones, cartilage and ligaments. High dose steroids are commonly used to treat a variety of painful conditions which include rotator cuff tears, lateral epicondylitis, patellar and Achilles...

Knee pain can be disabling. At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we acknowledge that it is essential to determine the cause of pain. Pes anserine bursitis and tendinosis is a common cause of anterior knee pain. The pes anserinus is the insertion of the conjoined tendons of three muscles of the hamstring onto the front inside (anteromedial) surface of the shin bone (tibia). The three muscles...

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. ...

X-rays, MRI s and CT studies are often obtained as part of a sports injury evaluation. In most cases these studies are static in nature and not dynamic. Patients are positioned and instructed "NOT TO MOVE". Unfortunately for many patients their pain only occurs with movement. At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we acknowledge ultrasound as a powerful clinical tool since it emits no radiation, can be performed...

At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we acknowledge the important of taking a history, performing a physical examination and reviewing radiographic studies. We appreciate that MRI's or x-rays alone rarely identify the source of pain. Many painful conditions such as facet dysfunction are not reliably detected on conventional radiographic studies. Some health care facilities have recently advertised PRP treatments...

Mesenchymal stem cells are available from different tissues sources which include blood, adipose, synovial fluid, muscle and bone marrow. Superior clinical outcomes are associated with selecting stem cells from the most appropriate source, isolating them in a state of art laboratory and placing them into the area of tissue damage with direct visualization using either ultrasound or intermittent...

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.”
