Knee Stem Cells Help a Snowshoer from Chicago

Knee Stem cell update:  This is a recent testimonial from a patient in Chicago whose knee was treated with the Regenexx stem cell procedure by Dr. Sheinkop:

“Dr. Sheinkop,

 I had pain with each step I took. I tried cortisone, Synvisc, Voltarin, with little to no relief. I researched all available surgeries and felt uneasy about  their shortcomings and risks. I have been  active and healthy all my adult life participating in racquetball, running, cycling, golf, and snow shoeing. To think it came to a point where I found it difficult even to sleep at night – with just the touch of a sheet, my right knee would throb in pain.

Three days after my injections I was at the health club doing upper body workouts , swimming, and pool walking.  I walked daily increasing from one-half to two miles today. 

I recently turned 64 yrs. young,  and feel it’s ” Prime Time” for me.

Although I’m still cautious and careful about my knees, I don’t think I will ever play racquetball again. Everything else…………..stay tuned. 

 I want to thank you, I found the the RIGHT GUY,  at the RIGHT TIME, with the RIGHT PROCEDURE….THANKS REGENNEX !!!!

Being at the Health Club  three days after the procedure and doing upper body workouts, pool walking and walking from one half to two miles daily may not be the same result that you experience from a Regenexx procedure.
