surgical techniques and orthopedic
medicine. For many patients who
choose to rehabilitate from a diseased, arthritic or injured muscular
skeletal system such as spine, knees
and shoulders, facilities such as The
Center for Regenerative Medicine
in Miami, Fla., can help restore
normal function and accelerate the
healing process. Dr. A.J. Farshchian,
a groundbreaking authority in
the burgeoning clinical science of
regenerative medicine and medical
director for the Center, touts the
ability of the body to heal itself by
stimulating stem cells to regenerate
new tissue. "Stem cells are of great
potential for patients who benefit
from regenerative medicine," says
Dr. Farshchian. "During the healing
process, the body rushes many cells
and cell-types to the injected area

ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES
in order to accelerate the healing
process. These cells perform many
functions, including release of
growth factors into the diseased or
arthritic and injured sites, which
promotes healing."
Educating and motivating people
to enact healthy lifestyle changes
is the motivation behind Healthy
100, which was created by leadership and physicians in the Florida
Hospital network. The foundation
of this initiative is centered on eight
proven principles: Choice, Rest,

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with the 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 the left knee, causing much pain and discomfort; at that point he was told
only a total knee replacement could help him. He is otherwise healthy. On exam he had
point tenderness to the medial side of the left knee (medical lingo: inner side). An X-ray
showed severe arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments
at The Center for Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right).
This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic
cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by 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 in Miami, 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 to The Center for Regenerative Medicine for nonsurgical orthopedic
care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have
been treated over the past nine years.
