Caymans Again - Regenexx®

Observing life from the Caymans again – Regenexx®   My blogging may be less this week as I’m down in the Cayman Islands treating patients with the advanced Regenexx-C stem cell procedure. This week’s patient list includes 3 active NFL players and one trying to heal his injuries so he can get back into the NFL. The last player is interesting, as he had one Regenexx-C stem cell procedure 3 months ago with his post procedure MRI showing better cartilage under the knee cap, but he needs a second treatment for his knee to withstand the wear and tear of the NFL. This week I’m also putting the finishing touches on the new book and beginning a major rewrite of Orthopedics 2.0, so between that and adjusting to “Island Time”, the blogging may fall off a bit!

Spine

Many spine injuries and degenerative conditions are good candidates for regenerative treatments and there are a number of studies showing promising results in treating a wide range of spine problems. Spine surgery should be a last resort for anyone, due to the cascade of negative effects it can have on the areas surrounding the surgery. And epidural steroid injections are problematic due to their long-term negative impact on bone density.

Knees

Knees are the target of many common sports injuries. Sadly, they are also the target of a number of surgeries that research has frequently shown to be ineffective or minimally effective. Knee arthritis can also be a common cause for aging athletes to abandon the sports and activities they love. Regenerative procedures can be used to treat a wide range of knee injuries and conditions. They can even be used to reduce pain and delay knee replacement for more severe arthritis.

  • Knee Meniscus Tears
  • Knee ACL Tears
  • Knee Instability
  • Knee Osteoarthritis
  • Other Knee Ligaments / Tendons & Overuse Injuries
