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.

Why is our success rate so high? Our approach is unique. It’s a complex procedure to untangle a knee joint and no short way to describe the approach. Using stem cells, that repair damaged tissues and organs every day is the power behind our success rates. These cells are stored in fat. The FDA-cleared method is called Lipogems.

Arthritis involves much more than the cartilage. When the knee isn’t working right, it’s not just about one thing, the cartilage, it’s about everything. Everything that makes a knee joint function may be involved in why it isn’t. Our unique approach is to view the knee as a “whole joint.” To do this it starts with detailed diagnostic orthopedic ultrasound imaging at the time of the visit.
With this advanced imaging, in addition to the interior of the knee, we can examine the structures that surround the knee. In addition to the joint's interior, outside structures begin to fail in kind, like dominos. The result is interior damage to the cartilage, ligaments, or meniscus, and external damage to the stabilizing knee ligaments, tendons, bursa, muscles, and nerves.

Taking all of these into account with accurate diagnostic imaging leads to the best outcomes with an 85% success rate in our data on patient outcomes measured by accepted knee function scores, knee osteoarthritis, and outcome scores (KOOS).

Certified in diagnostic orthopedic ultrasound imaging, Dr. Richie Striano starts the visit by imaging every structure of the knee and reviewing the imaging with each patient as images are taken. This not only educates the patient, but also shows the patient the actual damage to structures, hence the patient sees and understands exactly what each structure contributes to knee function, and what stem cells do to repair it, instead of having a report read to them that they don’t understand.

Describing details in language a patient can understand, a map is made of each and every location where damage exists. Once the map is made, using ultrasound imaging to guide the stem cell injections, with accuracy within a millimeter, each and every location is filled with the fat-derived stem cells needed.

The world of Orthopedics has entered a new era. The era of fixing arthritic knees and other joints without surgery is now a reality, due to the advancements in stem cell therapy.

The transformation has occurred by the emergence of high-definition diagnostic ultrasound imaging revealing detailed diagnostic findings at the time of the visit, then using the ultrasound imaging to precisely guided injections during the same visit, and the advancement of stem cell technologies has changed the face of Orthopedics.

Dr. Richard Striano is certified in diagnostic orthopedic ultrasound imaging and has participated in more than 2,500 stem cell procedures, published in peer-reviewed journals and has treated patients from weekend warriors to professional athletes, and Astronauts. Trained at the Mayo Clinic, and Andrews Orthopedic Institute with more than 18 years of experience he is considered an expert in the field.

For a consultation with Dr. Striano to discuss your case and determine if you may be a candidate for these advanced procedures call Optimum Joint at 845-357-9400.

The educational consultation is free of charge.

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.

To find out if you are a candidate for these procedures call Optimum Joint at 845-357-9400. The consultation is free
