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.

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.

Swimming shoulder injury repaired freeing swimmer from pain. I had spend 4 months in physical therapy rehabilitating my shoulder only to have the first swim meet I entered, wipe out my gains. After Regenex, and a 3-month recovery with mild rehabilitation exercises to keeping the shoulder loose and flexible, I dropped 7 seconds off my 200 yard freestyle time. Best part...no pain the next day. The bad part...this meant I had to starting going to practice again.

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.
