No comment
Regenexx has recently added another tool to their regenerative medicine tool box: Adipose derived stem cells. As discussed in a prior blog, bone marrow derived stem cells are ideal for orthopedic application such as osteochondral defects and areas of degeneration in the knee, hip, ankle and thumb. Patients have the ability to use their own mesenchymal stem cells through the Regenexx procedure. ...

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy has gained increasing attention as a non surgical option for musculoskeletal injuries. Platelets are rich in growth factors which mobilize repair cells, promote cell division and accelerate healing. At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic PRP has been successful in treatment of elbow, hip, knee and heel pain( lateral and medial epicondylitis, piriformis syndrome, patellar...

Platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP) involves the injection of a concentration of platelets into an area of tissue injury. Platelets are rich in naturally occurring growth factors which can speed up the healing process. Blood obtained from the patient is spun down (centrifuged) creating a highly concentrated pellet of platelets. Processing of the blood is done, in most cases, by a bed-side...

Mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into many types of tissue including muscle, bone, cartilage and tendon. Because mesnechymal stem cells are multipotent, there has been concern that implanted stem cells could form cancer cells. Studies have demonstrated chromosomal abnormalities in mesenchymal stem cells that have been cultured for extended periods of time. Other studies have demonstrated...

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...

The International Cellular Medicine Society (ICMS) will host it’s first annual conference in Las Vegas on 11/5/09. What separates this conference from every other conference on stem cells is that this one will feature physicians who use cellular therapies everyday as part of their medical practices. In the past, conferences have focused more on theoretical concerns. Lectures will include:...

The lumbar disc is composed of two principal parts: the inner jelly(nucleus pulposis) and the outer side wall(annulus). The annulus provides support similar to that of the side wall of your tire. If the side wall (annulus) becomes weakened, it can bow out. When this occurs it is referred to as a disc protrusion, herniation or extrusion depending upon how far it protrudes outwardly. ...

Ligaments are fibrous connective tissue that connect bone to bone. Ligaments are critical to the structural integrity of a given joint. The are the structural support of the joint. Repetitive use injuries and acute traumas are common causes of ligament injuries. When a ligament becomes injured, it becomes loose and no longer provides the critical support needed. The result is abnormal pressure...

“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.
