What is the difference between elbow and golf injuries?

Tennis elbow is pain or problem on the outside of the elbow whereas golfers’ elbow is pain from, on the inside of the elbow.

Now, both of these conditions can be treated in a rather similar way.

They both can be treated with first and foremost, rest. Secondly, anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, sometimes a brace and then, if and when conservative treatment measures fail. Then either of these disorders can be treated successfully, with a Platelet Rich Plasma Injection. Also known as PRP.

And PRP is essentially taking platelets from your own peripheral blood and having them spun down in a centrifuge, and then carefully given back into the elbow such that your body, can begin to heal itself.

What are the diifferences between a Steroid Injection and Regenerative medicine ?

Regenerative Medicine is an attempt to treat and repair the underlying problem.

Whereas steroids are just an anti-inflammatory that masks the symptoms, does not do anything to treat the underlying cause and over time is harmful.

Harmful in that it could decrease your immune system and also can elevate your sugar levels, which is very bad for diabetics. Steroid injections are a lot like putting a Band-Aid on the situation.

Whereas Regenerative Medicine, on the other hand, gives us hope. Hope to rebuild the cartilage, the muscle, the soft tissues, the bone in the musculoskeletal system.

Knee problems are very common. They are often a result of a sports injury or osteoarthritis of the knee. Sports injuries typically are caused by ACL or meniscus tear, whereas osteoarthritis of the knee occurs gradually over time. As a result of chronic inflammation.

We’ve had tremendous success here at Neurosurgery Associates injecting patients with their own PRP, which stands for platelet rich plasma. That comes from their own blood and we spin it down using a centrifuge machine.

PRP helps one’s body heal itself. It helps repair damaged ligaments and helps reduce inflammation and pain.

This procedure is what Stephen Curry from the NBA had done. This allowed him to heal up from his knee injury and return to the basketball court.

Lyme disease is caused by bacterial infection by Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by Dear Tick bite.There are 300,000 cases per year in the US.

Tick bites give a skin rash, sometimes looks like Bull’s Eye target. Patients get flu like symptoms, such as fever, headache and fatigue but resolves.

When symptoms linger well beyond the typical treatment time, you may have what's called "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS).

50% of patients get Arthritis and joint pain. Headaches sometimes associated with short term memory loss or thinking problems Numbness or tingling in face, arms, hands or legs.

At Phenicell Regenerative Institute, we offer treatments to help your immune system repair damages from the bacteria.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common form of arthritis, which causes pain, stiffness, decreased function and is one of the leading causes of disability among adults.

KOA is thought to be related to cartilage degenerative lesions secondary to inflammation related to hyperplasia and chondrocyte apoptosis. Patients with KOA suffer both physical debilitation and physiological damage which leads to a poor quality of life.

Here at Phenicell, we have had good success in treating knee pain. We offer comprehensive therapeutic options.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, representing about a third of all deaths annually. Most of these cases are myocardial infarctions, better known as heart attacks.

Major strides in several biomedical fields, especially stem cell biology have attracted attention towards the research and development of cardiac regeneration after heart attacks.

Regenerative medicine may be able to help patients with cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack.

𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 : «I have a severe scoliosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. I have had steroid injections in lumbar area before that did not work. I decided to give the PRP a try and in June of 2017 I had bilat SI joint injections. I feel I got more relief than I ever did with the steroid injections and no side effects. Plus it’s my own plasma healing my body, not a steroid. It was worth trying for me. Dr. Shehadi listens and really tries to help people. His staff is very good too! If you’ve tried everything else and nothing works, try this!»

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disorder that involves chronic inflammation of your digestive tract. Ulcerative Colitis and Chron’s disease are two common types of IBD. Currently, approximately 60% patients with inflammatory bowel disease do not achieve medical remission. Thus, there is a need for novel therapies for IBD and stem cells have gotten much interest in the last few years. Multiple studies suggest that the immunomodulatory effects of stem cells may reduce inflammation and tissue damage in patients with IBD.

Phenicell Regenerative Institute is committed to treating and studying these patients in an attempt to solve these problems.

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) therapy is a non-surgical stem cell treatment used to treat various orthopaedic injuries. It’s a concentrate of regenerative stem cells obtained from a patient's own bone marrow. BMC accelerates the body's natural healing mechanisms and they have the ability to replicate themselves into a variety of tissue types. It has been shown to reduce swelling, relieve pain and enhance healing of articular cartilage and bone.

For more information about our BMC therapy, visit our website. https://www.phenicell.com/bone-marrow.html

NAD is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide one of the most abundant molecules in your body. NAD+ is a carrier molecule it traps electrons and protons, then transfers these electrons and protons to where needed in cell. NAD+ levels deplete with age and when there is DNA damage.

NAD therapy has been around for many years. It is currently used as a supplement to aid patients with Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. It is also used in patients with “brain fog” or metabolic syndrome. There are NAD supplement pills available, but unfortunately, not everyone can fully absorb these pills from their digestive tract. So, Intravenous therapy is much superior since it goes directly into the vein over a few hours. NAD therapy can be used alone, or in combination with stem cell therapy.

𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 : «Adhesive arachnoiditis diagnosed by another neurosurgeon in early 2019. No hope for an incurable condition and as it's terrifying effects starting occurring more often I bought a wheel chair in preparation for the inevitable. My ability to walk was reducing rapidly, and I could barely make it from the car to the motorized carts at Walmart even using a shopping cart from the lot to lean on. It was getting very bad very quickly.

This journey had started in the mid 1970's with my first of many back and then neck surgeries. At 67 most of my spine was fused and numerous parts of me had been without feeling for many years. I could have waited silently and just accepted my fate but the glimmer of hope that stem cells might help... The thought of that gave me hope.

I searched and searched for someone knowledgeable and qualified on the cutting edge of this possible miracle fix called stem cells.

I finally found an actual doctor, a real neurosurgeon who works in the stem cell world. Dr. Shehadi agreed to meet with me to discuss my arachnoiditis, something that other neurosurgeons would not do, not even talk to me. Meeting Dr. Shehadi was such a joy as he sat and listened to my story and what my research had discovered (gently correcting me when I had something wrong) and together we came up with a plan to fix my limited walking ability. He carefully explained how and why it would work.

He said that it would be uncomfortable, and he wasn't kidding but the results were worth it. My walking issue has already improved dramatically and improves more every day. A very welcome extra benefit has been the return of feeling to the long dead parts including the toes on my left foot which have been silent for over 20 years. All of my Arachnoiditis symptoms are gone, and I have no pain, stinging, burning, cramping, electric shocks. All of that is gone.

I asked for a little miracle and got a big one. Calling Dr. Shehadi started this and I am so happy that I made that first call.»
