Using stem cells, gene therapy, & PRP Dr Sobajima studied regeneration of intervertebral discs of the spine in animal models.  Currently Dr Sobajima is looking at PRP & stem cells to regenerate cortical bone in Rabbit Femurs.  This research could potentially influence surgical protocol around the world as we look for more cost effective, safer, and natural based alternatives.  Dr Sobajima will be presenting his data at the Regenerative Medicine conference in Hiroshima in March 2010. Dr Steven Sampson will also be discussing his knee arthritis study and PRP experiences in Japan.

Dr Sobajima was particularily interested in utilizing ultrasound guidance for his non surgical management of orthopaedic issues. We welcome Dr’s from around the world to visit here to observe our work & to collaborate on research projects in the future.osaka

Dr Sampson will discuss research findings from a knee arthritis study using Platelet Rich Plasma. The research is pending publication and is the first of it’s kind to be published in a reputable orthopaedic journal. Using this encouraging data, Dr Sampson is planning  a multi-center study on PRP for knee osteoarthritis.  Doctors in Japan are expressing an interest in orthobiologics to provide cutting edge therapies to their patients. hiroshima
