Regenexx South Denver Construction Begins

I’m speaking at the MedRebels conference today and tomorrow, so blogging may slow a bit.

Houston, We Have a Fat Problem: Orthopedic Surgeons and Lipogems

This weekend I saw a local advertisement by an orthopedic surgeon that mangled the facts about stem cells and, in particular, about fat grafts, but it could be an ad in any one of hundreds of local newspapers all over the country.

Is Our Disc Fetish Hurting Regenerative Spine Care?

Modern spine care has a disc fetish. While the spine has many parts, surgeons and interventional-pain physicians seem to look at the disc as the cause of pain and trouble more than anywhere else.

This is a special course for highly trained physicians who already know all of the basics and have been performing precise regenerative-medicine procedures for some time. The goal is to allow them to “cross the t’s and dot the i’s” of their education…read more

Amniotic Stem Cell Update: This Is so Wrong…

Last month a patient walked into our office with low-back pain and a bad shoulder, ankle, and knee. He promptly told us that he had paid $14,000 for amniotic “stem cell” injections, at a chiropractic office in downtown Denver, in the shoulder, ankle, and knee. Huh? Let’s explore this a bit… Chiropractic Amniotic “Stem Cell” Injections…read more
