Regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine is an innovative field of healthcare focused on harnessing the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate damaged tissues and organs. It involves using stem cells, tissue engineering, growth factors, and other techniques to promote healing and repair in conditions ranging from orthopedic injuries to chronic diseases.

This past decade, a big change has occurred in neck facet-joint treatment. The art of injecting something into a facet joint has become slowly extinct, while the procedures to perform nerve ablation of painful neck joints have ramped up. This has caused a real problem as newer regenerative-medicine techniques involving stem cells and platelet rich…read more
Lipogems Review: Is This a Fat Stem Cell Procedure?
Lipogems is a fat-processing kit that has gained some popularity the past few years. Near as I can tell, it produces a beautifully cleaned fat graft that is finely chopped. However, many physicians have begun to call this a stem cell procedure. Is that true? What Is Lipogems? Lipogems is a device used to process a…read more A Patient Saved from a Chiro Amniotic Seminar
You can’t read the paper these days without seeing another ad for a chiropractic clinic advertising a local seminar for amniotic or cord-blood stem cells. It’s ridiculous because there are no living and functional stem cells in the products these practices use, and simply by making the claim of live stem cells, the practice is…read more Prolia Side Effects: You Just Can’t Make This One Up
The United States of Pharma is a strange place where companies can take lab discoveries that seem simple and really screw real people up. Today’s entry is a drug called Prolia that I have encountered before. When I looked it up back then, I was astounded and disturbed at how this drug worked. Now it looks…read more An Update on Our Novel Alar and Transverse Ligament Injection Procedure
Way back when my career was just starting, I got a job with a physician who was involved in auto-accident managed care. This meant that there was a steady stream of neck-injured patients. While many of these patients could be helped, some couldn’t. While it would be attractive to say that these few had psychological…read more Back to Active Life After Wrist Nonunion Fracture Treatment Without Surgery
While wrist fractures normally heal, sometimes, for whatever reason, they don’t. When a fracture doesn’t heal, this is called a nonunion, or a delayed union, and it can be a nightmare. When a nonunion fracture occurs, the focus will typically turn to surgery. Nonunion fractures aren’t limited to wrists; they can occur in other parts…read more How to Avoid Discography Side Effects: Biologic Discography
Frankly, until we became the first in the world to inject stem cells into discs, discography never made much sense to me. I would tell patients, “I’m going to poke a hole in your disc to see if there’s a hole in your disc.” However, when we began to see that platelet rich plasma and…read more Does Age Affect Stem Cell Treatment Success?
Does your age impact stem cell treatment success? We’ve looked long and hard through the years for this association, but it’s been, for the most part, elusive. We’ve published a number of scientific papers on the topic, but now a group of chiropractors is fabricating from thin air a narrative about age and stem cells.…read more
