What does applying the power in cells offer to patients suffering the pain and limitions, and compromized quality of life from severely arthritic joints?

Umbilical cord stem cells are the youngest most active adult stem cells. They are not embryonic. Think of buying a car. You can buy a car your age or you can buy a brand new high-performance sports car. They can both get you were you want to go, however, one is brand new with none of lifes mileage.

Pro NFL Pittsburg Steelers defensive tackle Larry Oganjobi with Dr. Richard Striano at The Regenerative Medicine Institute, Escazu, San Jose, Costa Rica. Sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury he contacted Dr. Striano for potential treatment. Dr. Striano performed point-of-care diagnostic ultrasound imaging to pinpoint all of the tendon tears, followed by precision ultrasound-guided stem cell injections with his colleague. Larry is back in action on the field.

When patients come to us with a poor quality of life due to knee pain from arthritis most have tried other methods. At the end of the road they are advised there are two choices. Surgery to replace the joint or live with it until you can’t take it anymore and then go back to choice number one, surgery to replace the joint. Maybe you’ve heard this as well and wonder isn't there anything else?

Here’s the good news is that there is. There are new methods published in scientific journals that could reduce pain, return function, mobility and your quality of life. Dr. Richard Striano is an expert in these methods and certified in diagnostic orthopedic ultrasound imaging. The combination of detailed diagnostic imaging at the time of the visit, and the use of ultrasound imaging to guide non-surgical procedures has changed the face of ttreating the arthritic knee as well as other joints.

Along with his colleagues Dr. Striano has helped thousands of knees including professional athletes in the NFL, NHL, Surfing, Jockeys and even Astronauts, and of course non-athletes from all over the world searching for answers. He may have an answers for you too.

For a consultation with Dr. Striano call Optimum Joint at 845-357-9400. The consultation is free.

NY Times: Why Are Useless Surgeries So Common? - The latest controversy — and the operation that arguably has been studied the most in randomized clinical trials — is surgery for a torn meniscus, a sliver of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee. It’s a condition that often afflicts middle-aged and older people, simply as a consequence of degeneration that can occur with age and often accompanying osteoarthritis. The result can be a painful, swollen knee. Sometimes the knee can feel as if it catches or locks. So why not do an operation to trim or repair the torn tissue?

About 400,000 middle-aged and older Americans a year have meniscus surgery. And here is where it gets interesting. Orthopedists wondered if the operation made sense because they realized there was not even a clear relationship between knee pain and meniscus tears. When they did M.R.I. scans on the knees of middle-aged people, they often saw meniscus tears in people who had no pain. And those who said their knee hurt tended to have osteoarthritis, which could be the real reason for their pain.

The meniscus is a shock absorber in the knee, and when the shock absorber has been removed the impact between the bones increases and has been shown to accelerate arthritis by up to five times normal.

There are worldwide published peer-reviewed studies, including ours, that show the knee can be restored by injecting biologics, a patient’s own growth factors from the blood, called platelet-rich plasma or our most advanced treatment, injecting regenerative cells found in a patient's fat, by a process known as Lipogems. Lipogems are cleared by the FDA for safety and efficacy.

We are experts in having non—surgically treated more than one thousand knees with osteoarthritis and meniscus tears resulting in an 80% response rate with the Lipogems procedure.
