New Nerve Pain Cells Discovered…
One of the things I love about medicine is that if you pay close attention, what we know is being constantly updated and expanded and sometimes rewritten. Take for example nerves. Who would have thought that new nerve cells that carry pain signals would still be being discovered in 2017? You would have thought that…read more
One Way Stem Cell Therapy Works: Waking Up Local Cells
How do stem cells work? We know some things. For example, stem cells can both differentiate (turn into) another cell and excrete chemicals to coordinate a repair response. They can transfer good mitochondrial batteries to a dying cell with bad batteries. They can also transfer some of their RNA into another cell and make it…read more New Regenexx Research Paper: Leading Rather than Following
How do you lead the exploding orthopedic regenerative-medicine space? You do what few other practitioners do: you publish your results on a regular basis. That’s what we do several times a year, and this morning I’d like you to introduce you to our latest peer-reviewed publication on the use of platelet lysate injected epidurally to…read more Medical Innovation and Our Alar/Transverse Ligament Procedure
How does medicine advance? If you ask some academics, they’ll tell you that only they can advance medical science. However, that’s always been fiction as most medical breakthroughs have always come from doctors innovating to solve specific problems. This morning I’d like to share how we solved a problem with our alar transverse ligament procedure.…read more A Shoulder Fracture Nonunion and AVN Update
It’s always good to follow-up with our patients to see how they did long-term. This morning I’d like to update you on a patient whose shoulder fractures were so severe, surgeons had nothing to offer. I gave you a short look at her Fracture Nonunion and Shoulder AVN treatment results back in 2015; this is where…read more Do Healthy People Who Are Overweight Have Increased Risk of Heart Disease?
If you’re otherwise healthy, is just being overweight a health risk? That’s what a team of researchers recently set out to discover. That’s because studies have bounced back and forth on this issue for a while. What they found may surprise some of the patients I talk to every day. Coronary Heart Disease Coronary heart…read more
