A Shoulder Improves After Stem Cell Therapy with Dr. Lox Plays Golf Tournament

A mid sixties avid golfer began having increasing right shoulder pain from shoulder arthritis.

Lox M.D. Dr. Lox an expert in Sports and Regenerative Medicine, understood his problem right away. After treating his shoulder with Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy he returned to play in a golf tournament. Making him very happy indeed. Dr. Lox treats many golfers. California and Florida are nice weather states, therefore many golfers are active there, or retire there to golf. Dr. Lox has offices in both California and Florida, practicing in the Tampa Bay, Florida area and in Beverly Hills, California. Since the golfer was right hand dominant, not only is part of the swing controlled by the right arm, everything else he does in his life potentially is a factor in promoting his pain. From lifting weights in the gym, yard work, overhead painting his office, to throwing baseballs with his grandson. Understanding the shoulder, and that persons life is what sets Dr. Lox apart.

  • Acromio-clavicular joint arthritis (AC)
  • Glenoid-numeral arthritis
  • Bicep tears

Understanding how shoulder work, listening to the patient, reading x-rays and MRI’s, and most importantly doing a thorough physical examination are key to making the right diagnosis and treatment plan.

Shoulder Arthritis and Stem Cells

Shoulder are not as complex as backs. They are ball and socket joints like the hip, however the shoulder is more complex, as it is capable of extreme motions and subjected to great forces. Just watch a Major League Baseball Player throw a fastball. It becomes clearer, the hip just doesn’t move like that.
