Find the doctor who has a good amount of experience I am 50 year old man with chronic back pain. I decided to try the PRP injections, and took 2 time procedure of Regenexx DDD, which costs me total of $8K. Unfortunately, this didn't work out well, and I wasted my time. This procedure was performed in San Diego office by Dr. Derrington, who's kind, but lack of clinical experience because I realized his diagnosis and procedure turned out incorrect, and his treatment wasn't enough to address my issue.

Saved me from SI joint fusion and gave me my life back! I had traumatic fractures of both SI joints with marked instability on the left. I spent months in physical therapy and receiving steroid injections every 12 weeks with no real improvement. In my last ditch effort to avoid fusion surgery I met with a Regenexx doctor for PRP/platelet lysate therapy. I am now 9 months out of my procedure and my results could not be any better. Regenexx saved my life and I am forever grateful.

No personal experience No personal experience, but as a medical doctor who's had his own share of sports-related injuries (I guess you could call it arthritis, but I don't, yet), I've been interested in early reports in the use of platelet rich plasma for tendinitis and knee arthritis. HOWEVER no good quality study has ever proven it works. If regenexx goes beyong PRP to actual stem cells this might be different, but I'd wait to see the evidence. Knee arthritis is a common condition and therefore an intervention like this is relatively easy to study in a randomised controlled fashion.

Stem cell procedure on my knee Stem Cell procedure on my knee: The first few months after my procedure, my knee felt great. It has gotten progressively worse. At the 6 month follow up appointment, the doctor said that I needed a "booster shot" for $1,400. However, during the appointment, he didn't even examine or touch my knee. I felt as though all he was concerned about was more money.

Repair of serious rotator cuff tears.... After a fairly serious set of tears to my rotator cuff, Regenexx and my Doctor at Centeno Schultz did super concentrated PRP on my shoulder. Within a week or so, I was pain free, and then after 4 months, I was playing competitive racquetball again. Now, a year later, I'm still pain free, riding long distance bicycle events, golfing and playing racquetball with little thought to my shoulder.
