Not a week goes by that I don't speak with someone who is dealing with significant chronic pain and limited mobility in either their knee, back, hip, neck, ankle, or shoulder.
One hundred percent of the time they are being treated with steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and are usually trying to delay surgery with these modalities for as long as possible.
Up until recently, these were the primary viable options in this situation. However, technology is advancing quickly and there are some new(ish) therapeutic modalities on the block that I want to introduce you to.
Today, on the podcast, I am doing an interview with Dr. Eli Loch, who is an expert in the advancing technologies of regenerative medicine.
We discuss:
- How Dr. Loch went from conventional pain management doc to becoming obsessed with regenerative medicine techniques and how he is changing his practice completely towards regenerative medicines.
- The definition of regenerative medicine and discuss mechanism of action and pros/cons of prolotherapy, PRP, and stem cell therapy.
- Data supporting the use of different therapies for different indications.
- Tips to finding a good regenerative medicine doctor and best practices.
Dr. Loch has so much knowledge and brings SO MUCH value to this discussion. You DO NOT want to miss this show.
Here is Dr. Loch's info about his current practice
