FOCUS ON HEALTH RESOLUTIONS HEALTH PROMOTIONAL SERIES 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 THE CENTER FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST 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, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal relationships, Outlook Florida Hospital 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.
