Is there a correlation between nutrition and osteoarthritis? Yes! At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic and Regenexx we acknowledge the critical role between the two. 1 in 5 patients have metabolic syndrome characterized by central obesity, hypertension and elevated lipids and serum glucose. This syndrome results in the release of detrimental chemicals into the joints which can lead to the breakdown of cartilage...

Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are widely prescribed for joint pain. What is the long-term effect of these common medications on knee cartilage? Ding et al examined 395 patients with a mean age of 62 over 2.9 years in an effort to answer the question. MRI's were performed which evaluated both knee cartilage volume and cartilage defects. Patients taking NSAID's had increased...

Despite their terrible taste, disgusting odor and foul texture I followed by mother's instructions: EAT your brussel sprouts. Mom insisted that diet was essential for our growth. Does diet have an impact on stem cell growth and differentiation? (what type of cells they will become when they grow up) Vanella demonstrated that high blood sugar levels, those commonly seen in patients who eat sugar...

Steroid injections into the epidural space can inadvertently reach the blood vessels. The significant is twofold. First the patient is unlikely to get clinical relief of their pain since the injection...

Medicines can have harmful effects on patient cardiovascular, pulmonary and GI system. Can medicines have an effect of stem cell production? Deng et al, demonstrated that aspirin inhibits stem cell growth. Regenerative Sciences understands...

Soilders would receive large vials containing 60 to 100 tablets of Motrin to manage the aches and pains of forced road marches, night air drops and survival drills. Common examples of NSAID's...

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.”
