Former NFL Quarterback, Don Horn, Improves Shoulder Pain With Stem Cell Treatment.

6/19/2018

 
Don talks about regenerative medicine treatments in a recent Fox News article.  He recalls treatment during his career involving steroid injections and pills to keep them in the game.  He recently heard about regenerative medicine treatments including platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell (bone marrow aspirate or amniotic tissue allograft) injections for treatment of chronic injuries.

After hearing about the procedures available, he reports having these procedures done himself and he states that he had great relief.
​Don had these procedures done at a facility in Denver Colorado.  The process he utilized included drawing his blood and concentrating the platelets to obtain the PRP and then harvesting stem cells out of his bone marrow.  This office also used hyperbaric oxygen treatment to reportedly boost stem cell count prior to procedure.

He is so impressed with these new treatments that he now sits on a the board of a wellness center that helps bring these treatment options to professional athletes and war veterans.
These regenerative treatment options including PRP, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, amniotic tissue allograft, and others are available at Black Stone Physical Medicine.  These treatments can provide pain relief and heal stimulate the healing process for multiple conditions including knee arthritis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, degenerative disc disease, and others.  Black Stone Physical Medicine is located in Corvallis Oregon but serves also patients in the surrounding areas including Albany, Lebanon, Newport, Lincoln City, Salem, Eugene, and even as far as Bend and Burns.

Professional Soccer Player Diego Lugano Extends Career With Stem Cell Treatment

6/13/2018

 
Diego, a top-level professional soccer play originally from Uruguay, had a chronic knee injury that was limiting his professional career.  He had a knee injury when 18 and had arthroscopic surgery with meniscectomy.    Later in his career (2014), his treating physicians told him he would have to retire and would at some point need a knee replacement to help his pain.  This is when he met Christina Bertolotto, MD and Steve Sampson, DO.  As a last option to save his career, he tried a form of stem cell treatment using cells from his bone marrow (BMAC) combined with platelet rich plasma (PRP) injected into his knee at the OrthoHealing Center in Los Angeles.  Since his treatment and physical therapy program, he has been able to continue playing professional soccer, now up to 3 years including more than 100 games.
