Renowned Orthopedic surgeon James Andrews from Birmingham Alabama was featured in ESPN the Magazine regarding his usage of Bone marrow derived stem cells. The article explains that this particular form of cell therapy is from the same patient and is re-injected same day.

A recent study provides evidence supporting the use of stem cell-rich collagen paste made of patient’s own bone marrow in repairing talar osteochondral (ankle bone cartilage) defect. The paste creates a hyaline (elastic) cartilage, which is sturdier than the fibrous (tough) cartilage created by the surgery alone. Patients that underwent the paste therapy following surgery

In a new study, it is evident that Platelet-Rich Plasma is considerable superior to Hyaluronic Acid in treatment for gonarthrosis (arthritis of the knee).

This difference
We were thrilled to have Dr Robert Simons visit us recently. Dr Simons has been practicing non-surgical treatments prolotherapy for 12 years before progressing to the use of platelet rich plasma, Orthokine/Regenokine and adipose derived stem cells as potent biological tools in assisting musclulo-skeletal repair and regeneration. He has performed over 30 adipose derived regenerative cell procedures
The Orthohealing is pleased to present a new video detailing Bone Marrow Concentration (BMC) Injection. BMC therapy may be more powerful than PRP for certain conditions such as end-stage arthritis or other problems resulting from severe structural damage. Rather than the patient’s blood or plasma, the doctors at the Orthohealing Center extract bone marrow from
