Stem Cell Therapy
Bone marrow concentrate containing mesenchymal stem cells promotes tissue repair and regeneration by harnessing the body’s natural healing mechanisms. At Regenexx, concentrated orthobiologics—substances derived from a patient's bone marrow or blood—are used to address injuries, degenerative diseases, and other health issues.

It’s a confusing time right now in stem cell therapy. So many clinics are claiming to do so many things, it’s hard to know what’s real versus just a money-making scam.

Is Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy Covered by Insurance?
One of the more bizarre twists in the amniotic “stem cell” scams out there is that certain physicians claim to be able to get an insurance company to reimburse for the procedure. I’ve also seen the same with the Lipogems system. Is this true? Nope, what’s really happening is an illegal misuse of billing codes that can…read more Knee Arthritis More Severe in Those with Low Back and Knee Pain
Our orthopedic-care model has taught us that if a patient walks in with knee pain, you only perform an exam of and ask questions about the knee.

Hence,…read more Can You Inject Orthobiologics into the Bone Using Ultrasound?
Regenerative medicine has a quality problem. I see it every day.

The focus of this release is treating the problems associated with stroke, and it…read more Treating the Functional Spinal Unit: Time to Get Rid of the Pain Generator
Interventional pain medicine teaches us that we need to find what I call “the magic pain generator.” Meaning we have a whole specialty of physicians (which used to include me) whose focus is trying to find one structure in the spine that’s causing most of the patient’s spinal pain. However, while sometimes this can be done,…read more What are Exosomes? How Do they Work?
You may have recently seen physicians advertising exosome therapy. Or if you’re a doctor, you may have been hit up by a sales rep claiming to sell exosomes. What the heck are exosomes? Are they better than stem cells? How do they work? Let’s delve into this topic this morning What Are Exosomes? Cells communicate…read more
