Interventional Orthobiologics
Interventional orthobiologics is a medical specialty that treats musculoskeletal conditions with image-guided injections of orthobiologics, including blood and bone marrow concentrate containing mesenchymal stem cells. This approach promotes healing and improves function, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional orthopedic procedures. Regenexx customizes these treatments to individual needs, ensuring they are safe and compliant with regulatory standards.

If I’ve learned nothing else this past decade it’s that the media frequently gets orthobiologics wrong. So today, let’s explore the science behind two common interventional orthopedics procedures to see if they got it right or wrong. Let’s dig in. The Media and “Stem Cells” On the one hand, I have been a fan of…read more
Biologics Alliance: The Fine Line Between Evidence and Misinformation
A recent paper published in the journal Arthroscopy makes several now in that journal which are anti-orthobiologics. For this one, I think the authors meant well, but the abstract is so poorly written that it’s getting picked up by news outlets and distorted. Let’s dig in. Orthopedic Surgery and Orthobiologic Publications First, if you’re new…read more
EMS Bio and BioLab Fluid Flow
If you’ve ever seen a Houdini movie you’ll know something immediately about a BioLab Fluid Flow sales seminar just put on by EMS Bio. It’s worth reviewing below just to see how they create an impossible escape from a place that’s dangerous, just like Harry Houdini did way back when. Let’s dig in. The World’s…read more Minimally Invasive and Maximally Destructive
One of the things that I am increasingly uncomfortable with is the new and manifold ways my colleagues are finding to permanently destroy tissue using minimally invasive procedures. What I mean is that there is a trend to take destructive surgeries and turn them into procedures that can be performed by pain management physicians using…read more Meniere’s Disease and Stem Cells
I love answering patient questions and recently I got an interesting one about Meniere’s Disease and stem cells. Let’s dig in. The Question “I am a sufferer from Menieres Disease which is a chronic illness of the inner ear causing hearing loss, vertigo attacks, dizziness, tinnitus and many other associated symptoms. I’ve seen a number…read more Making the Diagnosis of Craniocervical Instability
If you read this blog, you know that I often write about what I experience on a day to day basis. This week I had a telemedicine evaluation with a patient who was scheduled for a C1-C2 screw fixation surgery who didn’t meet our diagnostic criteria for a much less invasive injection-based procedure to treat…read more Comprehensive Biologics and Dr. Buzz
If you read this blog, you know that I love the statement, “You can’t make this stuff up”. This feeling of astonishment at the crazy stuff that’s out there calling itself regenerative medicine never gets old. Nor do I know where each lead will take me until I dig deeper. Today we’re going to take…read more Regenative Labs: Is CoreText or ProText Covered by Medicare?
One of the crazier trends in the already completely out of control birth tissue/fake stem cell sales industry is the idea that Medicare now magically covers these products. Of course, none of this is remotely true and all of it comes with federal prison time, but that hasn’t stopped many companies from making this claim.…read more
