Subscribe to the BlogNew Amniotic “Stem Cell” Review Paper: Misinformed or Misleading?
One of the things that’s often hard for patients to understand is that when it comes to using stem cells for orthopedic conditions, the universities are way behind private-practice physicians.

Helping a CrossFit Athlete Avoid Rotator Cuff Surgery
I love helping patients avoid rotator cuff surgery. Why? We don’t have good scientific evidence that sewing your torn rotator cuff back together surgically is effective. Why?

While there’s nothing wrong with a chiropractor learning the ropes of stem cell use and hiring competent physicians to do good work, that’s…read more Why Regenexx Is Very Different: Hip Labrum Stem Cell Procedure
