by Walter O’Brien, MD Stem cell therapy is an exciting regenerative medicine frontier with numerous potential applications. Your own stem cells are by far the best source for your own tissue rejuvenation. As cells age or are injured, stem cells are directed to the area to replace those damaged cells. Eventually our body can no […]
by Walter O’Brien, MD Recent research strongly supports using patient-derived stem cells to speed recovery from traumatic brain injury (concussion). Increased awareness of diagnosing concussions has also illuminated our limitations in treating them. However, a recent study by Sean Berman of our group, Cell Surgical Network, has found the administration of stem cells after concussion […]
by Mary Jo Gustin, DC It’s not too early to start thinking about your personal wellness plan for the new year. Planning for ways to improve health is an easy thing to put off, but as 19th century thinker Edward Stanley said, “Those you think they have no time for health will sooner or later […]
by Walter O’Brien, MD Stem cell therapy has created much excitement and perhaps some confusion and controversy in the field of regenerative medicine. Stem cells are the basic undifferentiated cells which our bodies store indefinitely to repair and regenerate damaged and aged tissues. Orthopedic applications include degenerative conditions such as arthritis as well as acute […]
by Walter O’Brien, MD “Regenerative Orthopedics” is a term I have coined for an exciting, cutting-edge frontier of medicine. After 25 years of practicing state-of-the-art orthopedic surgery including pioneering techniques in minimally-invasive surgery, I teamed up with Dr. Thomas Grogan and Dr. Michael Sheps in 2012 to put together a unique group of musculoskeletal professionals […]
