Is an Amniotic Stem Cell Treatment Really Just a Baby Piss Shot?

A few weeks ago, a Colorado Regenexx provider had a funny story to tell about amniotic stem cell treatment. He had told an OB-GYN colleague about some of the crazy claims being made by medical providers that amniotic fluid contained live stem cells. What the doctor told him next will make you both laugh and…read more

Using Machine Learning to Predict Stem Cell Knee Arthritis Outcomes

One of the most frustrating things about stem cells and regenerative medicine is the difficulty in predicting which patients will respond with “home run” results and which won’t respond at all. You would think from looking at the miracle-cure stem cell websites popping up around the Internet that stem cells are magic pixie dust able…read more

Stem Cell Clinic Graft Is Reaching Epic Levels

This week, while down in Grand Cayman helping patients with our state-of-the-art culture-expanded stem cell procedure using state-of-the-art imaging and advanced interventional orthopedics techniques to take and place cells, for just a few hours, I questioned whether I should stop alerting consumers to the problematic stem cell clinic schemes I see pop up every day.…read more

Hip Replacement Risks Include Disrupting Hip and Knee Alignment

Understandably unaware of Hip Replacement Risks, most people think that getting their hip replaced is like replacing a bad part in their car. They pull into the shop and the surgeon disconnects the old hip, removes it, and then screws in a shiny new one. Problem solved. However, comparing a bad hip to a bad…read more

Lowering the Stem Cell Bar: More Amniotic Stem Cells

My son loves the cartoon TV series South Park, and one of my favorite episodes is where James Cameron is enlisted to find out just how far the societal bar has been lowered and how to “raise the bar.” Just when I thought the stem cell Wild West couldn’t lower the bar any farther, here…read more

Advanced Bespoke Orthobiologics: Why Settle for One Size Fits All?

One of things I take for granted that most patients or physicians never experience is the fact that we heavily customize stem cells and platelets to match what the patient requires. You see, 99% of what gets injected at clinics outside of our Regenexx Network is one size fits all. Kind of like that T-shirt…read more

Continuing to Advance Orthopedic Regen Med: MSC Enhanced SCP

We have pioneered orthopedic regenerative medicine since 2005. Since that time we were the first in the U.S. to use advanced, culture expanded mesenchymal stem cells for orthopedic injuries and the first to use same day stem cells for that same purpose. We’ve made many advancements since then, but one of the newest is MSC…read more

Blogging from the Caymans Again…

I’m down at our licensed site in Grand Cayman this and next week, working with patients who flew here to access the many advanced stem cell and platelet technologies we offer. Last night I had dinner with the family at one of our favorite places to eat on Seven Mile Beach. The above picture is…read more
