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.

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.

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.

The Regenexx® treatments are worth… The Regenexx® treatments are worth every penny. I wish insurers would see the value of this non-surgical option. The Regenexx doctors I worked with in Las Vegas, NV were very honest about expected outcomes...due to years of sports injuries, 2 spinal areas are pretty much 'toast' & are not good candidates for stem cell treatment but they were treatable with platelets. I got a year of relief from a treatment that took 1/2 a day of non-surgical in-office treatment... It works for me.
