CNN recently reported on a new story out of Cedars-Sinai and the University of Louisville’s Jewish Hospital that focused on a study by Dr. Robert Bolli where 16 patients with heart failure received stem cell therapy. Within just one year, the heart function of the patients in the study markedly improved. While the researchers expected a positive outcome, “We were surprised by the magnitude of improvement … we would possibly be curing heart failure. It would be a revolution …” said Dr. Bolli who leads a group of researchers at the University of Louisville . Perhaps even more important, no treated patient in either study suffered a significant health setback.
As is evidenced by this new study and many more like it in recent years, regenerative medicine holds tremendous promise not only for cardiology but for numerous realms in healthcare including orthopedics & sports medicine. The Orthohealing Center and The Orthobiologic Institute continue to research the applications of regenerative medicine in non-surgical orthopedic care and hopes to see similar postive outcomes as those seen in this study in joints and in the spine.
While incredibly promising, larger trials are still needed to determine if these th
erapies are safe and effective. Dr. Bolli said he would have to temper his enthusiasm until he can duplicate the results in larger studies, definitive enough to get stem cell therapy approved as a standard treatment. But, for many patients who have failed conservative and traditional treatments, regenerative medicine with stem cells and growth factors sheds new light on an otherwise dim outlook on the road to recovery…

We were excited to have Dr Diku Mandavia (Emergency Room Physician Cedars Sinai, Chief Medical Officer SonoSite Inc) , Dr Dina Self (USC ultrasound fellow), & Dr Tom Mailhot (USC ER fellowship director) visit us this week. The doctors are interested in using ultrasound for orthopedic diagnoses in the ER.
The USC Emergency Medicine program is on the cutting edge by providing the latest in technology & clinical research. USC is one of the few programs in the country to offer a Ultrasound Fellowship for Physicians seeking extensive training to provide the highest level of care in a cost effective environment. This visit highlights the steady emergence of Ultrasound in other medical specialties besides it’ s traditional use in Obstetrics.
Thanks to our patients who allowed everyone to visit & observe procedures.

Dr Steven Sampson recently publishes an article in Imaging Economics, Sept 2011. Game Changer. Ultrasound Guided Needle Procedures Offer Accurate, Cost-Effective, and often Less Painful Treatment of Musculoskeletal Disorders. Dr Sampson describes how this technology is revolutionizing sports medicine. This service is not only available to elite NBA athletes, but is designed for the weekend warrior who suffers with pain from daily activities like overhead motions of the shoulder or grabbing a refrigerator door etc.
More and more studies are documenting the critical need to utilize ultrasound to ensure accurate point of care diagnoses and guided injections to provide the highest standard of orthopedic care.

Thanks to our valued patients and their referring doctors, we have outgrown our space rather quickly! Nothing gives our clinic more pride then when a patient refers friends and family members. Due to this overwhelming support, we are moving our office downstairs within the same building to suite 210 this spring. The new space will allow us to grow in the future and will permit a comfortable and warm healing environment. Stay tuned for more details.
