There's a 50-50 chance that you will develop osteoarthritis (OA) at some point in your life. Those who already have this frustrating joint condition know how it can significantly hamper daily activity and mobility.
Osteoarthritis treatments to date have focused on managing the pain and inflammation, but continuous use of steroids and NSAIDs can be detrimental to your health over time. Stem cells provide a promising, more natural alternative to not only managing the symptoms but also addressing the root cause.
In this webinar, we discuss how stem cells can help reduce pain, manage inflammation, and trigger natural repair processes within an affected joint.
We were joined by Celltex Chief Medical Officer Dr. Stanley C. Jones, along with two Celltex clients with OA in two different joints who both saw benefits from using their own stem cells:
Jack Linville, a client who was able to avoid reverse shoulder replacement surgery with the help of his stem cells.
Dennis Seith, a client who used his stem cells around the time of his knee replacement surgery to aid in the recovery process.
ABOUT THE GUESTS:
Jack Linville, Celltex client with OA of the Shoulder
As a former collegiate basketball and tennis player who has remained active his entire life, Jack is no stranger to injuries. Most notable are his rotator cuff issues, which have caused him to undergo two painful rotator cuff surgeries in the past.
Then, in 2018, Jack suffered a fall that caused a complete rotator cuff tear. His doctor had told him that a reverse shoulder replacement would be the only option to repair the damage. Wanting to avoid the pain of having another, more severe surgery, Jack looked for other options.
Having known several Celltex clients who had seen positive results for similar conditions, Jack decided to give his own stem cells a try. Following his first round of therapy, the pain in his shoulder decreased steadily until it was completely gone within 6 months. He notes that his shoulder feels as good as it did 10 years ago, and he has been able to remain active even in his mid 70s.
Jack has since been back for an additional infusion, and plans to continue doing so regularly to maintain his progress.
Dennis Seith, Celltex client with OA of the knee
When he was younger, Dennis suffered a sports injury in the knee that gradually got worse and developed into OA with age. By the time he reached his mid-60s, he knew that knee replacement surgery was unavoidable for his case.
Having done research on stem cells, Dennis learned that stem cell therapy could potentially assist in the healing process following surgery. Wanting a smooth recovery, Dennis began looking even further into the possibility of using his own stem cells. He found Celltex and was impressed by the extensive lab processes and the fact that he would be receiving his own stem cells.
Dennis received one round of stem cell therapy a few weeks before his surgery and two rounds of therapy following the surgery. His physical therapist was shocked by the speed at which he recovered. In less than three weeks following his surgery, Dennis was able to ride a bicycle. In less than a year, he regained full range of motion. He even noticed that the pain in other areas, such as his hips and back, had improved as well.
Update: Dennis Seith tragically passed away in January 2022. We are thankful for the joy he brought those around him and his willingness to share his story for the benefit of others with osteoarthritis.
