Neck Arthritis and Spine Disease

Neck Arthritis and Spine disease have two common problems causing neck pain, degenerative disk disease and facet arthropathy (a type of arthritis) of the cervical spine. Not all disk problems are amenable to regenerative therapy and patient selection is very important to optimize outcomes. Many forms of spine pain are actually due to arthritis of…

Back Arthritis and Spine Disease

Back arthritis and Spine Disease have two common problems causing back pain, degenerative disk disease and facet arthropathy (a type of arthritis). Not all disk problems are amenable to regenerative therapy and patient selection is very important to optimize outcomes. Many forms of back pain are actually due to arthritis of the facet joints (small…

Asthma Degenerative Disease

Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by symptoms including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm. Asthma is clinically classified according to the frequency of symptoms, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate.[3] Asthma may also be classified as…

Lung Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. It makes it difficult to breathe. There are two main forms of COPD: chronic bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with mucus, and emphysema, which involves destruction of the lungs over time. Most people with COPD have…

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a debilitating neurological disease that is thought to be caused by destruction of the myelin sheaths (fatty protective insulation) around axons of the brain and spinal cord. Loss of myelin impacts the ability of these tissues to conduct signals and the inflammatory process can lead to scarring resulting in a broad range…

Hair Restoration

Stem Cells and Hair Regeneration for Men and Women The growth of human hair is an extremely complex process and hair loss is based on a number of factors including genetics, hormonal influence, environment issues, and health condition. Infections iron or Vitamin D deficiency, autoimmune disorders and metabolic problems can also have a role in…

Lichen Sclerosus

Lichen Sclerosus is a skin condition that occurs in women, men and even children but most frequently seen in post-menopausal women. The skin around the genitals and anus can turn shiny and smooth and spots grow into patches. Skin over the spots turns thin and crinkled and can tear easily and become scarred. Itching, changes…

Peripheral Neuropathy

PN peripheral neuropathy is a degenerative disorder of the nerves (usually of the hands and feet) and has many causes including traumatic injuries, infections (neuritis), metabolic problems and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes, and many cases are due to auto-immune disorders, but frequently, the cause of neuropathy cannot be…

ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease is a debilitating neurologic disease that results from the destruction of upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. ALS is associated with rapidly progressive weakness, muscle wasting, spasticity, and difficulty breathing, swallowing and speaking. There is no known cause for…

Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that affects close to one million Americans.  PD is a chronic and progressive disorder, which is thought to be caused by the destruction of dopamine (an important neurotransmitter) that generates cells in the midbrain.  The cause of PD is unknown and there is…
