We’re proud to announce the Regenexx Physician Provider Network. These independent physician practices have been trained by our physicians and lab staff and will offer the same types of procedures offered in our Colorado advanced lab facility. Welcome to our first two providers on the east and west coast!

ABC News Highlights Regenexx Knee Success Story

ABC News / Good Morning America recently featured a 72 year-old Centeno-Schultz Clinic patient that underwent two Regenexx-AD and Regenexx-SD treatments. "It’s revolutionary in my mind that my knee corrected after only two treatments. I’m so impressed that you could place my own stem cells in precisely the ...

Regenexx-SD Procedure Explained

Stem cells live in all of us – they are the repairmen of the body. The problem is that as we age or get injuries, we sometimes can’t get enough of these repair cells to the injured area. The Regenexx™ procedure takes care of that problem by amplifying your body’s natural repair process.

The Regenexx-SD™ procedure begins when the doctor thoroughly numbs the back of the hip (PSIS) and takes a small bone marrow sample through a needle. This is different than a bone marrow biospy which can be painful. The sampling procedure we use is called a bone marrow aspirate, which is often described by patients as being comfortable.

In addition, some blood is also taken from a vein in your arm. These samples are sent to the Regenerative Sciences lab which is part of the Centeno-Schultz medical practice. These cells are processed and then re-injected into the area in need of repair using imaging guidance (real time fluoroscopy or musculoskeletal ultrasound using your MRI to plan the injection).

In our ICMS certified lab, our trained staff isolates the mesenchymal stem cells. These cells are then injected back the same day with natural growth factors found in your blood platelets. The goal is to achieve much greater numbers of stem cells than you could muster to the injured area. Whatever cells you have left over can be cryogenically preserved. For much greater detail about the procedure, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s).

What makes Regenexx-SD™ different than other same day bone marrow concentrate/stem cell procedures being offered? First, we don’t use a one size fits all centrifuge to prepare cells, we use a sophisticated lab that is part of our medical practice. Second, while some practices add platelet rich plasma to their stem cell concentrate, we use a proprietary “super platelet” mix. The birth of this “super platelet” mix was a series of lab experiments we ran in 2009. Bottom line, by mixing lab prepared PRP (slow release growth factors) and platelet lysate (immediately available growth factors), we were able to get adult stem cells to grow 6-9 times as much as just PRP or platelet lysate alone. What does this mean for you? Our lab tests show that we can get more stem cells to grow with Regenexx-SD when compared to other same day procedures using bone marrow stem cells. The Regenexx-SD™ procedure is the power of your stem cells unleashed.
