A new advancement in stem cell application has the potential to act like a 3D White Out pen for damaged bone and cartilage. It is called the BioPen. This device allows for cellular material to be deposited into bone and cartilage defects by simply filling in the defect like whiting out a typo. The BioPen …

Strontium is an element on the Periodic Table, which is very similar to Calcium. It is known to be easily absorbed by the gut and incorporated into bone and tooth enamel much in the same way as Calcium. When in the form Strontium Ranelate (Strontium Salt), it is known to increase both bone formation and …

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain in the United States. In fact, approximately 10% of the population is affected by this inflammation on the heel and sole of the foot. Anyone who has suffered from this condition can tell you, the first steps out of bed in the morning …
Although we’d like to think of aging as more like a ripening of a fine wine, our joints tend to think otherwise. Years of active living, obesity, and constant wear and tear have led to an aging population suffering from chronic joint pain secondary to conditions such as meniscal tears and arthritis. Although chronic meniscal …
The Orthohealing Center has been treating degenerative arthritis with a myriad of different “joint cocktails”, cumulating benefits from various options such as Hyaluronic Acid and Platelet Rich Plasma. However, in recent years Orthohealing Center has emerged as an international leader in using extracted Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) in the management of Osteoarthritis. Dr Sampson and …

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy works just like it sounds. An intermittent magnetic pulse is directed though injured tissue, such as an arthritic knee joint. This electromagnetic field has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects as well as regenerative potential in damaged tissue. The therapy was first introduced in the 1970s as a treatment for …
Recently, we were honored to have internationally recognized cartilage expert Dr. Alberto Gobbi visit us from Milan. Dr Gobbi has coined the term “Biologic Arthroplasty” that combines arthroscopic surgery with Bone Marrow derived cells to potentially delay or avoid a total joint replacement. Dr Gobbi presented his latest data & results at the International Cartilage …
The Orthohealing Center’s Dr Danielle Aufiero will be speaking at the 2014 ISEMIR conference on the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound in clinical practice and rheumatic diseases. The conference includes lectures on ultrasound use for Spondyloarthropathies, inflammatory arthritis, and Platelet Rich Plasma injections, as well as extensive “hands on” education for using ultrasound to identify proper anatomy and assist with needle guidance. Biologic …
While in town for the International Cartilage Repair Society Stem Cell & Scaffolds symposium recently, Dr Steven Sampson met with leading physicians at one of the world’s premier rehab facilities for sports related injuries. Isokinetic is amongst the largest and most innovative rehabilitation clinics in Europe. This center features a complex of gyms, consultation suites, …
Treating Osteoarthritis has proven to be quite difficult due to the decreased blood supply and slow healing rate of cartilage cells in the knee. This has limited treatment options to either a conservative rehabilitative approach, or a significantly more invasive, surgical approach. However, the regenerative potential of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has spurred much exploration …
