THE CENTER FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE. A NON-SURGICAL
TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with chief complaint of knee pain who visited The Center For Regenerative Medicine over a year ago. He was diagnosed with bone-on-bone osteoarthritis of left knee, causing much pain and discomfort; at that point he was told only a total knee replacement can help him. He is otherwise healthy. On exam he had point tenderness to the medial side of left knee (medical lingo: inner side). An X-ray showed severe arthritis of the knee (X-ray top left). Patient started receiving treatments at the Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray bottom left).

This is how it works: The physician introduces natural medicine into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities, including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no downtime, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

Located at 9573 Harding Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, The Center For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes, dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go the The Center For Regenerative Medicine for non-surgical orthopedic care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have been treated over the past six years.
