One of the most common injuries olympic athletes are facing in this summer’s 2016 Rio Olympics is hard hitting leg injuries. It is no surprise that the legs are taking the brunt the force in sports such as Gymnastics, Soccer, and Basketball. Most of the injuries are musculoskeletal injuries in the lower extremities.
I have been using ultrasound to guide my injections to the exact intended location for the past eight years. While at our annual conference in Orlando, Florida, I attended a workshop related to the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection and one of the faculty, Dr. Ramon Castellanos, invited me back to his hospital in Miami to observe Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell procedures. Dr. Castellanos stated “ I am getting a high success rate and preventing my patients from having surgical procedures”
Bone on bone arthritis is a traumatic condition, one in which, I see many of my patients suffering from. Advanced arthritis not only causes severe pain but also intense disability. For many moderate to severe cases of arthritis, orthopedic surgeons recommend surgery, largely because this is their profession but as a non-surgical specialist, I have treated patients non-surgically for arthritis pain and witnessed tremendously beneficial results.
Many of my patients have been recommended for surgery or have tried to leave their knee injury alone to heal itself. Not only is knee surgery invasive but it is also risky. Patients may end up with long-term and unforeseen complications and disabling symptoms after surgery. Allowing the knee to heal on it’s own from a traumatic injury also has it’s set backs as the knee will most likely not fully heal and a person is left with long-term painful and disabling symptoms
Getting rid of arthritis pain may seem like a pipe dream but new advances in Stem Cell medicine have a high success rate to reverse the degenerative condition of arthritis.
Arthritis pain occurs as a bone-to-bone friction create inflammation and friction in one’s joint. The deterioration of cartilage, which acts as a shock absorber to bone-to-bone friction, is the cause of this pain. Dr. Benjamin Bieber applies non-surgical Stem Cell Therapy to add healthy cartilage to the damaged joint
