Former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Sees Dr. Lox for Shoulder Pain

A former weight boxing champion with shoulder pain consulted Dr. Lox for shoulder stem cell injection to relieve shoulder pain that interfered with his boxing training. The shoulder is common in not just boxers, but baseball players, tennis players, and weight lighters. Understanding the origin of the shoulder pain is key to the diagnosis of an expert in Sports and Regenerative Medicine such as Dr. Lox.  Dr. Lox has treated several boxers, and if their dominant hand is injured it is more concerning. This boxer was a leftie. Leftie’ or southpaws can often be ambidextrous. This means they can both left or right handed. When rehabilitating a boxer with stem cell therapy or Regenerative Medicine, the ability to train away from their injured shoulder is a benefit.  Shoulder surgery was not an option for him, so alternatives to shoulder surgery were very important.
