Ankle Stem Cell Injections: How Do Same Day vs. Cultured Stack Up?
Yesterday I compared how same day stem cells used for hand arthritis compared to cultured cells as a hand arthritis surgery alternative – the differences seemed stark for patients with severe thumb arthritis. How do ankle stem cell injections with a same day stem cell procedure (Regenexx-SD) compare to cultured cells? For this infographic I took patients from…read more
Hand Arthritis Surgery Alternative: Which Works Better-Cultured or Same Day Stem Cells?
Are one type of stem cells a better hand arthritis surgery alternative than the other? I’ve been continuing our data analysis of 2013/2014 patient results using our advanced treatment registry, now moving onto comparing patient results in certain body areas by stem cell procedure type. In this infographic above (released yesterday), our results with same…read more

The hip labrum is the lip on the socket into which the ball of the femur fits and…read more
Check Out This Torn Knee Cap Surgery Recovery Without Surgery and With Precise Stem Cell Injections!
My brother tore his knee cap tendon and quadriceps playing tennis a number of years ago. His torn knee cap surgery recovery was awful – many months spent in a brace and on crutches and years to get the quadriceps muscle strong. His knee has also never been quite the same. Is there a better…read more

The first patient was a late thirties father who had been in…read more
The Scientist, The Doctor, and the Patient…
This past week I’ve been hyper-focused on updating our long-term disc data and finally met my match yesterday. These are low back stem cell patients who had bulging low back discs treated with precise stem cell injections. It’s always an arduous task to pull all of this together, especially when some of the patients were treated in…read more
